Mike - I did a quick 'Google' search and did find two movies that Jim's music and singing were part of the movie soundtrack credit. I can't confirm if this info is accurate since I personally have not seen these movies. However, one article states that in the Christmas movie 'Elf' starring Will Ferrell [2005] Jim is heard singing Jingle Bells. The second is a movie called 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' [1976]. However, multiple articles give two different answers. One features Jim singing 'A Fool Such As I' and the other states it was 'Welcome To My World'. For sure I will have to rent these movies and find out myself. Hope this helps a little bit, maybe someone else can add to this. Thanks - Roy
