Chuck Barris' Music

 

Chuck Barris is also an accomplished song writer. He has written most
every song for his game shows. Although Chuck has not been sited as
one of the greatest singers, He does have a certain style all his own
that can become quite enjoying to listen to
. A couple of these songs
were performed by Chucks 60's band called The Chuck Barris
Syndicate. Chuck also penned the song Palisades Park, which
was taken to the top of the charts by none other than Freddy
Boom Boom Cannon.
