He sang it for the concept album in 1976 - not sure why they made the video. Instead of auditioning for the London show, he went off on his singer/songwriter career. Btw - he also worked with Webber in creating The Phantom for Phantom of the Opera for a workshop in 1985.
Didn't know he had recorded it with Paige, knew about his contribution to the original recording. That was done before Paige was involved, and that recording was with Julie Covington in 1976
Colm sang the Che part for the original concept album in 1976 with Julie Covington singing then part of Evita. No one sings the part better than Colm. And Madonna doesn't even come close to Julie.

what a treasure. Colm Wilkinson is truly a gift to the musical stage
My neighbors growing up circa 1987 6 doors down during orig les miz
Colm so young and cute in his Che costume. And those dimples. Love him forever and ever.
I don't know he looks like he just crawled out of a dumpster
I like this verson of the song - Colm's brillant!!
I love Colm. He's got a great voice.
Colm has a fantastic voice...great version...I'm performing this in 6 weeks
Colm is the man! Awesome!
your so right about Julie Covington kick ass, My mum has it on vinyl, sounds awesome
The original recording of the double album with Julie Covington is still kick ass! Listen to the "Buenos Aires" number and you'll hear why!!!
Agreed regarding Colm's Jean Valjean. Absolutely thrilling and perfect, never loses its thrillpower.
As for "Che", Mandy Pantinkin is tops.
Gotta love the Colm!
I love you Colm Wilkinson 💖
oh how i love colm he is fabulous

He is amazing
I have this LP. Original concept album for Evita. From the late 70's I think. Have to look at the album. The man is THE MAN.
I still have the Evita 1976 concept album too! It is the best! 🥰❤
he just did the CD and this video but it would be amazing if he did the movie and the musical!
colm is the greatest
Really want the recording with him and Elaine Paige. Must be a blast!
Love ya Colm!
Is there such a recording? HE only was Che on the concept album. He was not in the London production of Evita.

Mind = blown.
I like his physicality. The way he stands has energy.
The original "Che" in Evita - brilliant!
Great ..realy great...
definately the best version.
This was from the 1994 show "Lyrics by Tim Rice"
Not 1994 but 1985
Elaine Paige isn't on this recording. This is the concept album - released a few years before the show opened on the West End.
But what is this? A music video (before such things really existed?) to promote the concept album?

he actually played the phantom in the original Canadian Cast
Up there with his role as Valjean and Judas, Colm makes a fantastic Che Guevara.
1976, I believe.
Have you asked Colm himself or his management? That would be the logical step for an editor.
@estherzimmerman Every other Jean Valjean I've heard, is bearable at best. Once you go Wilkinson, you can't go back.
yup and no one else does it better
Please tell me where you got this video and where I might find more of it!
Now I want to hear other Valjeans sing this song. Like John Owen Jones, Drew Sarich, Alfie Boe, Simon Bowman...
did colm every play cha in evita
No. Only n the concept album.
Until the film version, characterizations of Che were based in large part on the revolutionary, evidenced by the fatigues and beret in this case.
I love how he's dressed as Che....
What was this filmed for?
I want the camera to stop spinning.
I feel like I'm watching Dom DeLuise sing. Sings it well, but he looks more like Dom DeLuise than Che, which is creepily unnerving.
not the kind of actor to play che is you ask me
His Valjean was really good, but this is downright awful!
