Ol’ Yellow Eyes Is Back, An Album of Crooning Oldies by Brent Spiner of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’

Ol Yellow Eyes Is Back Brent Spiner

In 1991, the incredibly talented performer Brent Spiner recorded Ol’ Yellow Eyes Is Back, an album of popular songs from the 1930s and 1940s. The album title paid clever homage to both the Frank Sinatra album Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back and to Lieutenant Commander Data, the android character he played on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
