Who sang 'Suicide is Painless'?


Does anyone know who sang this song in the movie? The credits on IMDB state a "nameless band", but it sounds like the Lettermen.

I believe it was an uncredited group of singers. The performers of the song in the M*A*S*H opening credits are John and Tom Bahler, Ron Hicklin, and Ian Freebairn-Smith.Timothy Brown (uncredited) sings it during the last supper scene.

Thank you - I noticed that earlier and should have mentioned it. They certainly did a beautiful job of singing that song.
