A Possible Breakthrough in the “Sleuth” Mystery

The Sleuth-singer-saga is what got me on the IMDb boards and, later, these boards to begin with—and now, believe it or not, that saga may be coming to a close. 

You can find the whole story at our INTK board, but basically the infamous, mysterious Sleuth singer may be music exec Don Percival, who sang the half-pseudo-Al-Bowlly, half-pseudo-Ink-Spots song “One More Kiss, Dear” in Blade Runner.

For comparison:





In all honesty, though, it’s a bit sad if this mystery ends… We’ve been searching for it for so long!

Nothing’s definite, but the news is exciting. Whether or not this is the solution, I’d like to thank everyone who’s expressed interest in the mystery over the course of 3 years, including paislene , mattjoes , carlcarlson1 , bartlesby , Carl LaFong ,  BATouttaheck , alfromni , jervistetch , Doghouse6 , teleadm , Prime etc. , The Herald Erjen , RiP, IMDb , Eva Yojimbo , Catman , and poelzig (and anyone I’ve missed). Thank you all, particularly those who have stuck by the saga through all twists and turns, through Graham Hartstone and Michael Feinstein and Really Useful Group and David Kernan.

Hope this is it—but if not, the mystery will carry on!
