I Wanna Be A Movie Star / I've Traveled The Whole Wide World

Released in 1961 on Lute Records, this single features the early musical efforts of Pat Vegas, who would later achieve fame as a founding member of the rock band Redbone. Lute Records, a label founded by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, was primarily known for its association with the Champs, and this release reflects the era's focus on transitional pop and R&B recordings before the explosion of the British Invasion.

The production style of the record captures the polished, echo-laden aesthetic common to Southern California studio sessions of the early 1960s. Designed to highlight Vegas's vocal versatility, the single served as a formative project for the artist, though it remained a relatively obscure release that predates his mainstream success. It stands today as a curious artifact for collectors interested in the pre-fame discographies of prominent Indigenous American musicians.
