T1SLOT Henry Corden not only reprised Fred Flintstone's singing voice, but assumed his speaking voice as well (replacing Alan Reed, a part he would officially take over in 1977 after Reed's death). Sammy Davis Jr., unable to provide the speaking and singing voice of the Cheshire Cat because he was under exclusive contract to Reprise Records, was replaced by Scatman Crothers. Character actor Allan Melvin provided a voice inspired by Humphrey Bogart for the "hard-boiled" criminal egg, Humphrey Dumpty.|{Learn|Be taught|Study} To (Do) Slot Olympus88 Like {A professional|An expert|Knowledgeable}
