He also developed into a hit recording star. Dick's first MGM Record album (E/SE4088) 'Richard Chamberlain sings' was a long time bestseller.

The actor-singer took great pains in the preparation of his second LP 'Richard Chamberlain' (E/SE 4287): spent a great deal of time selecting the tunes to be recorded and worked closely with arranger-conductors.

The foremost choice was the Richard Chamberlain vocal version of the title song from the latest MGM motion picture 'Joy in the Morning'.

'Hush....Hush Sweet Charlotte' and 'Dear Heart' were two other tunes, also movie-oriented and received motion picture Academy Award nominations.
Lyrics, ballads are most evident in this second album.
'A Fellow Needs A Girl' from the Broadway production, 'Allegro'.
'Rome Will Never Leave You' which was the title tune from a three part Dr. Kildare episode, and 'Stella By Starlight".
A first classic ballad 'Try to remember' from the Broadway smash 'The Fantasticks'.
Classic tunes: 'I can Dream, Can't I', 'You always Hurt The One You Love', and 'Georgia On My Mind'.

The Chamberlain Voice in a number of different and contrasting styles: ballad, swing and folk and each facet displays the wealth of talent Richard Chamberlain brings in a song.
