    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.

    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!!!

    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"

    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

    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.

  • @OceanbornAngel
    @OceanbornAngel 8 лет назад +6

    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.

    • @garrettchandler6584
      @garrettchandler6584 8 лет назад +2

      he has a richer tamber, but it's def the same key that every Phantom sings

    • @aaronbestgen4749
      @aaronbestgen4749 7 лет назад +2

      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...

    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...

    Never heard him do Phantom. Great but one criticism and that could be the Directors doing. He's rushing it. Should be slower.

      @AndrewMacLaine 2 года назад

      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
