Hey Man....thank you so much for those extreamly nice comments. I have been singing for quite a number of years. I got to know all of the artists that I impersonate. I was the last guy to make it to the Las Vegas Strip before the entertainment business changed. I had my own room at the Dunes Hotel and performed their for 12 years. I became friends with all of those people I do. I was a singer first and never did any impressions until Merv Griffin heard me sing a couple at this home one evening and from that day on I was known as "the singing impressionist" Merv Wrote my act. From that day forward I started doing the Johnny Carson Tonight Show, Jerry Lewis, David Letterman, Mike Douglas, and all the others.

I will say again. mike yarwood could do every singer . With his Sinatra Davis and Dean Martin.

Bob Anderson is more than an impressionist, he is a living lexicon of legends . . . able to carry not only the sound, but the nuances & having the tempo & mannerisms of so many incredible figures that defined music as we knew/know it. Bravo, Sir, & God bless.

Incredible. A high standard of difficulty. I loved his Dino impression. He's so worth the money to go hear him live in Vegas. It's like hearing all those great singers all in the same show !

Bob Anderson did a show I went to last December 11, 2021 at Carnegie Hall in New York City --he did Frank Sinatra's entire typical Las Vegas act, including some of Sinatra's most famous monologue jokes. It was marvelous! I have been to hundreds of "live" Frank Sinatra concerts in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York City - believe me, this Bob Anderson just nailed it perfectly!

[@davediamond7228]

"one more for the road" 90 minutes non stop...when the show ran at the palazzo in Vegas it won best headline...best live performance a best live show.....i think his 32 piece orchestra is part of the keys to the success...they are awesome.

[@danielomalley8454]

Like all of you I have never seen or heard of him until just today in 2023, and blown away absolute perfection an amazing talent.. since 90% of comments are from people who haven't heard of him, do you think perhaps Sinatra being the bully he was, took issue with Bob's spot on impression of him and made sure he never had the national recognition that he deserves? Also has anyone ever heard Bobs natural singing voice?

[@cindymcintosh286]

I am completely befuddled by the fact that at the age of 69, I just stumbled upon this amazing talent TONIGHT while perusing playlists on You Tube! How is this possible?

[@624radicalham]

@@cindymcintosh286 There has to be a reason he was not mainstream. He pissed people off, or got caught up in drugs ... something, and I hope I'm wrong. Sinatra never mentioned him, neither did others. He was on Carson that should have been his ticket to superstardom, but it wasn't. Now we need to find out why without the sugarcoating

[@musicmasterplayer4532]

@@624radicalham Sometimes the subject of an impression does not like it, especially if it is too close to reality. Rich Little did a great Nixon, but the real Nixon was not amused when Little did it in his presence. Little did a perfect Johnny Carson on Carson's show. That was Little's last appearance on the Tonight show. Little never understood why.

PHENOMENAL. PHENOMENAL. The level of commitment to excellence is so upper echelon, it's mind-blowing. It's very difficult to walk that line between disrespectfully lampooning a personality, or just phoning in some half-baked one-dimensional impression. I think Mr. Anderson's secret to success is how much he loves and admires every person he portrays. You can feel that love.
