Celebrity Rock: Blowin' In The Wind (1969)

From Gomer Pyle, USMC:

Gomer (Jim Nabors) encounters a trio of hippies, and, upon invitation, joins them for a rendition of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind". Leigh French (The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour) and a pre-All In The Family Rob Reiner are joined by the lesser known Christopher Ross on guitar.



I've never had any of Nabors' albums, but I'd not be surprised if he'd recorded this himself at some point, especially since Dylan was a label-mate of his at Columbia. A folk album from Nabors would've been perfect during this period.
