I had always heard that Tom had tried out for the spot that Frazier later filled. However, in a recent biography of Milt Okun, Okun said that Paxton was hired but during rehearsals, it became clear that Paxton's voice did not blend with Mitchell's and Kobluk's. Paxton said it was his own fault because he was an inexperienced singer and did not know how to blend.
