Wayne Newton - 1980 20/20 Special

[@joerosselli4473]

My best friend and I had front row seats once at his show . I brought his book and held it in my lap hoping for an autograph.. He saw it and asked me, "What do you have there ?".... I was so suprised that I could not respond , I just handed him the book.. He asked, " Where did you get this?" ... . He held it up to the audience and talked about it briefly... I was so shocked and thankfull that he didn't ask me on stage to sing one of his songs..lol... His public relation person gave the book back after the show.. inside the cover was signed .." To my best friends, Joe and Bev. ...Wayne Newton.".. how can that ever be topped !

[@nikradik]

U go ..im sure that was awesome ....

[@justme6767]

My book was the 1st book to be signed

Outstanding!

I’m not usually a jealous person but I have to admit that I was when I read your comment. Nevertheless, I am still happy for you. 😊

I saw Wayne Newton at the Fremont hotel in 1964 right now I am almost 88 years old Jerry Mcdonogh

[@rhondafortson5205]

Never knew he played so many instruments. Always liked him...Always admired his dedication to his animals...Always appreciated his work ethic...Always enjoyed & recognized his enormous talent. Now...I Love WAYNE NEWTON on every level. Long may you rein, Wayne!!!

[@janemcdill7105]

I was 15 and saved my babysitting money to buy myself a ticket to see Wayne perform at a chairity concert. My dad drove me to the concert and chuckled about my crush on Wayne Newton

i didn't realise he was so talented and a great musician

[@rickeyzinn7542]

Wow!such a rare talent yet such a kind humble person. Wayne Newton is a treasure.

[@rongendron8705]

I saw "Wayne Newton's show" at a smaller venue at Lake Tahoe in 1986, for $15.00 a person, including one drink! Newton even remarked, "For this price, I don't want to hear any complaints!" The show was great & lasted over an hour! He's a multi-talented performer & deserves to be in the top echelon of entertainers!

[@torichey3212]

Excellent video, thank you. Wayne Newton is one of the greatest entertainers in the world.

[@glenkovacs9369]

I took my sons, 27 & 25 opening night 2022, and we absolutely loved it!! Learned Wayne has recorded and released 165 albums!! I’ve acquired 15, only 150 more to go!!

[@lauracecconi7247]

We just saw him last week. It was a great show!!!

[@irenemccann7032]

One of the best voices ever, he had so much talent, and I’m not surprised that Bobby Darin encouraged him, he was a great singer himself. There has been marvellous singers in my lifetime, unfortunately as I live in Great Britain we unfortunately didn’t hear much of him, I’m so glad my DNA is Italian as we have music in our souls ,

[@Orlanzepol123]

I’ve always heard of WN since the 80’s and never made it my business to find out why he was so famous and loved until I recently started watching “The Lucy Show”. He was a young WN who made and appearance in her show and sang “Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody”, “Danke Schoën” and You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You". Instantly feel in love with those songs. He was a talent then and now.

[@mwknott1]

Wayne is a one of a kind guy, kind , easily accessible to his fans and just an all around good guy. I remember a fan club picnic we had in Las Vegas and here he comes and just mingled. He was running around shooting people with a water pistol. Kind of shocking for a big star! That’s Wayne..

[@vivianshields3151]

The man has a passion for his craft and for people. He's the best. Words cannot express my gratitude for this guy. 💯% ❤️

[@kramdens1967]

Finally saw him live, this year May 2024 at the Flamingo in Las Vegas! Had an absolute blast!!

[@patriciaberry4630]

Thank you for acknowledging this man.❤

[@justme6767]

I love this. Wayne's my good friend since 1980 ,I miss seeing him thank you for this

[@skyebird3933]

I remember when he was introduced on the Ed Sullivan show. Quite an entertainer. 😊👍

[@jubalcalif9100]

That must be a REALLY big shew !!

[@wk1kat1]

Thank you so much for posting this! I remember so well seeing Wayne before he changed his image and the next time we went back he was completely changed! Very handsome and the nicest person I had ever seen! He is so talented!

[@wk1kat1]

@@justme6767 He is a great friend! I miss the old days, but he hasn’t changed a bit as far as his admiration for his friends and fans! He is one of a kind, and a very special person!

[@WayneNewtonShow]

RIP my dear friend. Who are the best and will be missed by Wayne and I and so many that knew you!

[@francesmiller3195]

❤❤❤❤❤ He is LOVED

[@donnamcneilly1240]

I went to so many of his shows and I don't think there was a single one where I didn't get a kiss from him.

[@rosu5726]

Wayne is awesome!

[@makthnife]

Awesome!! Thanks for posting this!

[@mickeymartin464]

A beautiful man and entertainer ❤ I wish I could meet him some day soon. He's a Normal man who is famous !

[@Kelly-hp7yt]

If you go to Vegas, you can see him at the Flamingo. Pay an extra $100 for the Meet and Greet after the show, and you can.

[@thefelper.7181]

Amazing Artist! I didn't know him (I am from Venezuela). But is easy to see his quality. Again, amazing! He can be proud of himself. Long live.

[@Orlanzepol123]

It’s sad that I live in America all my life and have heard about him since the 80’s but I was never interested in finding why he was so famous. But I now know. He was especially amazing when he was a teen and a young man. Beautiful voice, great songs and amazing performer.

[@karenshannon3967]

Never saw this video ever. Thanks for another awesome video of Wayne. Lots of information on his life. Hope he can continue entertaining for many years to come.

I saw Wayne newton when I was 12 in 1989 over satellite 😍😍😍 Iv loved him since then! . I’ve always wanted to sing the duet with him while the feelings good!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lauras7352]

An American Icon. We love him! Long live Wayne Newton!

[@少川靖男]

His own DNA, no imitation products. Wayne defines versatility on any stage.

[@birdsfan57]

Wayne Newton, at one time, practically "owned" Las Vegas. In fact, he was actually crowned "Mr. Las Vegas"...one of the last TRUE Vegas entertainers...still remember being a kid and watching his many appearances on Saturday nights on The Jackie Gleason Show. Jackie Gleason was long credited for "discovering" him. His longevity in the business is a testament to his immense talent and perserverence.

[@rockyhudson3346]

Amazing talent !

[@davidhughett6081]

What an entertainer! He's great.

[@bishopaz]

Once again thank you for posting this. I taped this and the quality isn't what it used to be.

[@WayneNewtonShow]

Well, if you were taping Wayne in those days you are a BIG FAN!

[@justme6767]

@@WayneNewtonShow I have known wayne since 1980 I was pen pals with him, we became good friends, I have seen 800 shows plus , I have had 500 to 1000 records and albums, i had personal photo albums, one was signed by wayne my book was the first to be signed, I do remember this 20/20 Thank you for posting this the show with him performing is from HBO wayne newton at the Frontier which I had seen many many times and had on VHS when VHS came out, now as for being a BIG Fan, Yup that's was me, I had pictures, I belonged to the WNIFC back in the day, I had so much,I miss wayne being the way he was,his voice has changed but he is still a great man with a big heart and a very nice man ,I thank you for putting these kind of shows on here and I hope you will share more. Thank You

[@WayneNewtonShow]

So glad you are a great fan and you are enjoying my videos. Was that a typo on the number of shows? Did you mean 8 shows? It certainly can't be 8,000 shows because if we take, let's say 30 years, that would be 10,950 days in 30 years divided into 8,000 - would mean that you almost saw a show once a day.

[@justme6767]

@@WayneNewtonShow it was a typo i corrected i have seen so many of his shows some double ,do you have anymore full shows like when he did "wayne newton "opryland usa"

[@billwilliams9897]

Wow...I had no Idea how good he is.

[@dogloverjb6873]

I loved him in the 80's.... It was interesting to hear how an outside manager transformed his look and voice. I always thought WN had been his own manager.

[@PamelaBurke-q1o]

l Love this entertainer so much he is brilliant

[@marcijode]

The Man is a STUD!!!!!🕺🏻❤️

[@Rob_Kates]

Jackie Gleason and Jack Benny recognized his talents early. He has played Vegas for decades...an impressive career.

[@randolphgarcia3494]

PS: HIS ACCOUNT OF THE SAD CRUEL CONSTANT JOKES ABOUT HIM FROM THE LATE MR. JOHNNY CARSON IS A TRUE STORY & SADLY COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH UGLIER IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT JOHNNY CARSON PASSED AWAY IN 2005 FROM EMPHYSEMA, I GUESS HE WAS RIGHT TO CONFRONT HIM & STATE THAT THE JOKES BETTER STOP IMMEDIATLY. W/SOME PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE & MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, BUT SADLY SOMETIMES IS NECESSARY. FRANKLY THE LATE MR. CARSON SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. OH WELL,

[@larry3034]

I think I have misjudged Wayne Newton wrongly, in a comment. I liked Wayne when he first started out in show business. He has been a remarkable entertainer working very hard. I guess I am a cynical man who shouldn't be. I love you Wayne for you being you. Sorry.❤❤❤

[@littlebopeep2190]

He was in an episode of bonanza sang some lovely songs

[@nikradik]

So I'm watching Bonaza and I'm like who is this lady playing this man singing..I've seen the episode several times and today I decided to do research..found out it was Wayne Newton..I i lt know the name and the face sometimes..never knew this was him .but to hear the story on how they changed his image and voice this was great to see.never knew this much about him until today..love how he stormed Johnny's office..lol dope

[@bobbg9041]

I wonder how many times somones yelled can we make pasta as his show, just as a joke to Vagas Vacation and his role on that film. Im not even a fan but the fact he did a movie poking fun at himself is tottaly classy and funny.
