    Chris was never given the credit due to him. He has the whole package in talent and good looks…….

    Classic Chris Isaak, made famous by the best, Neil Diamond, but he puts his special spin on it, and I love it, I will always be a fan! There will never be another.

    I accidentally got into an argument over who sings this song better, Neil Diamond or Johnny Cash. Just didn't like the way Johnny it. Then I read another comment that said Chris Isaak does a pretty good job and OMG I'M A BELIEVER! I have a new favorite version of "Solitary Man!!"

      ***** Love Johnny but *_not_* the way he does this song! Isaak does it as well or better than Neil does. It's just a great song!

      Yep, I agree with you Sue.

    @barriehomeboy I disagree. Gay marriage, legal or not, men cannot reproduce with each other. But I have to ask, why bring up Canada's law regarding homosexual marriage? You could've simply said "if you crossed Elvis with Bob Hope, you'd get Chris Isaak." Then, I'd still disagree. Bob Hope?

  • @dchampe66
    @dchampe66  11 лет назад +3

    Hershel Yatovitz wasn't a member of Silvertone until 1995. This performance, from 1993, was promoting the album "San Francisco Days." The album still featured James Calvin Wilsey on lead guitar. But it was before/after the release of the album that Wilsey left the band. Hershel came along to record the next album "Forever Blue". I'd like to be able to identify this guitarist but it is not Mr. Yatovitz. And if it is, he sure doesn't look like the Yatovitz model from 1995 to present.

    I agree with dchampe66, why bring up a gay scenario when it's just as easy not to? I do however see the Bob Hope nose.

  • @barriehomeboy
    @barriehomeboy 14 лет назад

    If Elvis and Bob Hope had a child, which is entirely possible in my Canada where gay marriage is legal, this would be their child.

  • @TheFactorygirl28
    @TheFactorygirl28 13 лет назад

    @dchampe66 his nose. I always thought Elvis and Dean Martin. The onstage flamboyance of the King, with the "pantie remover" voice of Martin.

    I've got a sense of humor, as well as one of civic responsibility. So, go ahead and bring up gay marriage as much as you want. Maybe one day - a hundred years from now, when gay marriage is legal everywhere and people from our time are seen as archaic socially-undeveloped cavemen - someone might read this comment and realize that there were a few forward thinkers amongst the lunkheads.
