Robert Goulet "Gigi" - A very special gem

[@hansli46]

What miracle has made Robert Goulet the way he is? Incredibly beautiful baritone voice, and a handsome stage presence unparalled in musical theater. R.I.P, Bob. Your voice has reserved a place in my heart.

[@davidwilliams504]

It is a tragedy that voices such as this are so seldom heard or even appreciated today. I doubt that Mr Goulet was even appreciated by his own generation sufficiently. I'm 18 years his junior and recall how few of my peers valued truly great voices like his. He will ever remain one of my favorite baritones. Thank for posting...nice memories.

Every time RG sang he gave a clinic on how to sing beautifully.

Ben Jonson That jaw of his is amazing, opening almost rectangular, as Joan Sutherland used to do!

I remember this so well I am 66 years old. I saw some of the greatest musicals and Movies ever produced! And am I glad I lived in that day and grew up in that era!

[@Sharon18042]

I agree. I'm 73.

[@notmyworld44]

74 here, and my world is long dead.

[@luztungpalan515]

Thank you, Vera, for immortalizing him. Thank you for having been there for him. The world will never forget RG.

He is perfection. The voice, his presence, and he is such a good actor. Thank you so much for posting. One of my all time favorites. I didn't know he had sung this. It's magical.

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

Always my pleasure and I am thrilled that you appreciate my husband's talent. VG

[@WaltBarrett]

Wonderful! We miss the man and that great voice.

[@tonyandras5920]

Robert gives the song a grandeur it deserves and no one else has. I am not a fan of operatic voices singing popular songs because they bellow without emotional nuance. Robert manages to achieve both so smoothly and makes it work superbly. This is a gem indeed I will enjoy for a long, long while. JASA

[@metuberous]

Thank you so very much for this wonderful rendition. What a voice!

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

[@RockLives4u]

To be this person and leave so many fond memories is an accomplishment grandeur, however to have a wife who loves you so strongly to memorialize your memory long after you are gone. Now that folks is the highest honor..Nice

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

+RockLives4u How very kind. He was a very special man with a phenomenal talent. The void without him is horrendous but It gives me great joy to continue sharing his legacy so that people can enjoy his work.

[@bh5606]

Simply beautiful.

[@GreenLifeSource]

I bet when he got to heaven, God said, "Robert, sing."

[@SingersLeader]

Fabulous Lerner & Loewe song - they just don't write them like this any more. Sung fabulously and masterfully by a youthful R.G.! I agree with Bill Brimmer's assessment below. :-)

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

So glad you enjoyed it.

[@zamyrabyrd]

Sheer swoon!

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

My pleasure Judith. Glad you enjoyed.

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

Oxana The song you are looking for is included in "The Michel Le Grand" Medey. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3_CnKaojpqdo7s

I don't understand why RObt Goulet didn't get more movie roles. Especially the movie version of Camelot and also Gigi. The movie version of Camelot was not a success, which is such a missed opportunity. Robert Goulet had a magnetic presence on film. He was the quintessential leadind man. Films would have also preseved his work for later generations. Q: Did Jack Warner consider RG for the film version of Camelot?

[@ROBERTGOULETTHEMANANDHISLEGACY]

+Seb Stephens They did consider him for the film version but Vanessa Redgrave insisted on Franco Nero with whom she was romantically involved. They made a big mistake. The movie should have been made with the original Broadway cast.

[@DyneVan]

A Big Mistake....Agreed.

[@dianavictoriaaljadeff5302]

I agree the film should have been made with the Original Broadway cast Burton,Andrews and Goulet.They wanted to make the film with all of them and it would have been great.But Burton wanted to make it with Liz Taylor,Andrews didnt want to make it with Harris and asked for much money and Goulet didnt want to make it without Andrews. But they would have called him but Redgrave insisted on Nero, and the film was a flop and with the wrong cast

[@larrydirtybird]

Too bad he didn't do the movie Gigi. A much better singer than Louis Jourdan! I saw him in on Broadway in La Cage Aux Folles, near the end of his career. I was glad to get to see Goulet on Broadway, since many of his most famous roles he performed before I was born.

[@erindurkin4441]

Do you know Robert's movie debut? Gay Purr-ee (1962)!
