Anyone knows the name of the Main Title's wordless vocal performer (in the original recording) on Goldsmith's score for The The Illustrated Man? As far as I know she's not credited and neither named in FSM's CD booklet.
Dunno, but the way Goldsmith gave her centre stage in the main title without using her at all in the body of the movie is sheer class. Then in the end title, she rounds it out with a minimalist statement right at the back end. Her vocal literally haunts the score. In this sense, the vocal is used in pretty much the same way Goldsmith would 'guest star' one of the oddball instruments he is famous for being typically press ganged into one of his syfys, synth or no - used to pivot the score without incessantly and mercilessly cheapening it by sheer repetition.
I posted the same question last year but also struck out. I even asked Jon Burlingame and he didn’t know. Maybe it IS Sally Stevens. Somewhere deep in a file in Hollywood is the answer.....
FWIW Stevens' IMDB page (which lists many films where she went uncredited, like DIRTY HARRY and KLUTE) does not list THE ILLUSTRATED MAN.
I don't think that list is complete and definitive, though. I once asked Sally if she had a definitive filmography and she said that she hadn't. I think people have been trying to build it up retrospectively and I'm sure there are gaps.

It might be Loulie (sp?) Jean Norman who performed the "Star Trek" TV theme. She performed it on Mancini's recording of "Star Trek" on his "The Theme Scene" album.
