- Robert Guillaume and Dale Kristien MOTN - Full Costume from Motown 30 What's Goin' On 1990
Found this from an old DVD I had with news clips on it. Haven't seen it on RUclips before.
He was so very talented. RIP Robert Guillame. Mom and Dad saw you in Phantom and never stopped talking about how wonderful you were.
They'll be thrilled to see you in Heaven, but we are sure sad to see you go.
Rest in Power, Sir
Thank you for all of it.
BREAKING NEWS: Robert Guillame just passed away today at 89. He will be missed and thank you for sharing your MUSIC OF THE NIGHT. RIP
Robert Guillaume was my first Phantom. He had replaced Michael Crawford after Crawford left the Los Angeles production for the first time (he came back New Year's Eve 1990). Guillaume was wonderful. RIP sir.
Yes I heard him perform Phantom live too. The first major stage performance I attended in Los Angeles as a boy growing up in metro LA.
I was Davis Gaines. I used to walk everyday past the Ahmanson in Los Angeles and would see the Phantom poster marquee starting with Crawford, Guillaume and Gaines. Marvelous production!!!
Same here. Traveled from San Diego in high school to see the production. Not disappointed.
He was my first Phantom, too!
RIP Robert Guillaume
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful voice!
I've been binge watching "Benson" and was thrilled with his voice in the few episode in which he sang.
This is the first time I've seen Robert Guillaume's rendition of MOTN. Thank you for posting it, I wish there were more recordings of him as the Phantom out there.
Robert Guillaume is my favorite Phantom. So few clips of him, alas.
Last night in Sacramento we saw the 2nd Black Lead Male to ever hold the role. We saw Robert back in the day, as well, in Los Angeles. therealderrickdavis.com/work/phantom-of-the-opera-tour/
Why?
Fun fact: in the 60's Guillaume was in a newly formed folk trio called The Pilgrims that Columbia Records put together as an answer to Warner's hit folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary when a barely known singer/songwriter brought a song to the studio that their producer was hoping to buy and release as the trio's debut single. But when the producer heard the demo sung by the singer/songwriter and his buddy he gave them a contract to record it themselves and The Pilgrims released their debut album "Just Arrived" without that song.
The singer/songwriter was Paul Simon, his buddy was Art Garfunkel and the song was "Sound of Silence" 😮
There's a video of Guillaume on RUclips singing another Simon and Garfunkel song "Bridge Over Troubled Waters"
Oooo goosebumps!!!
I got to see him in phantom of the opera
Such a soulful singer and fine actor.
We miss you Robert.
Blessings to you in the hereafter.
REST In PEACE ROBERT GUILLAUME (1928-2017)
There have only been 3 African American actors who made history playing the Phantom...all in numerous companies.
1. Robert Guillame - LA
2. Norm Lewis - Broadway
3. Derrick Davis - Current Tour
Now there have been four
There's also Quentin Oliver Lee from the Tour production!
Stop focusing on the color of their skin.
RIP ROBERT GUILLIAUME :(
I always regretted that I never got to seem him in Phantom. Thanks so much for posting this.
Wow and what a beautiful voice too....my favorite show...BENSON
The first time I ever heard Robert Guillaume sing was on Benson. The episode was called, Solid Gold, in which the gang are in Las Vegas and Kraus and Benson are hypnotized on stage.
Oh my God you are so right. I remember him as Benson in the comedy of the same name and then to see him singing Phantom, it was a bit of a revelation. Sounds to me like they altered the key scale from Michael Crawford's high Tenor to Robert Guillame's lower registry. He did fantastic in this performance.
he has a richer tamber, but it's def the same key that every Phantom sings
Michael Crawford just has that type of voice that sounds higher then everyone else HA... This version is in the exact same key as when Crawford performed it...
Despite this being a lovely performance I still cant get over 0:50 😂😂😂. Sennnnnnnse it, as if someone strung his vocal cords like a guitar
I like that delivery myself
My right ear enjoyed this
😂😂😂😂
RIP😭
he was historic
Well done.
TY!
This is Living Proof! That There Was Much More To RG Than Some Silly Situation-Comedy Tv-Series That Was On Far, Far Too Long!
Dale Kristien made strange choices. A lot of people loved her for some reason. But I'm still bitter that as the first Christine I saw live, she had a weird voice and acted like a robot like she did in this video...
Agreed. She's like a bot
I saw the Phantom of the Opera four times he was the Phantom two of times, Dale Kristen was Christine all the times, would have liked to see Michael Crawford as the Phantom.
Does anyone have a recording of him singing MOTN in a live performence of phantom during his time at the Panatages
Never heard him do Phantom. Great but one criticism and that could be the Directors doing. He's rushing it. Should be slower.
Can you sing it better? I think he sounds great. Everyone does not have to sing the same way. Where is your performance?
I liked Robert Guillame, but he was in over his head here.
Yeah... he was. He wasn't the Phantom for very long. The Los Angeles production in the 90s was kind of phoned in, anyway. Phantomania was so strong that it would sell out whether or not the talent was good
@@AndrewMacLaine It sounds like the jealousy is great.
His performance was awesome. If you can do it better, please show us.
Agreed. Admirable effort but not sufficiently Phantomesque.....
Well that was half-ass.
Well, you are totally wrong.
