- In the late 1960s/early 1970s; Shreve recorded an album, Good Olé [sic] Bob Doing His Thing for Cincinnati's King Records with the Dee Felice Trio backing him. The album eschewed his popular comedy routines to present a mellow, sentimental showcase for Shreve's warm Irish tenor voice and his affection for pop standards like "That Old Gang of Mine" and "Walkin' My Baby Back Home." With a cover sporting the King Records legend of "A James Brown Production," the album is now one of the most coveted Shreve (and Brown) collectibles; only two or three thousand copies were pressed.
