      Basically he's the last man standing in Vegas. He's a survivor.

    On the day I arrived in Bahrain as a mobilized Marine for OIF, there was a USO show with Wayne Newton headlining. He was a great entertainer and patriotic for being there. However, most of the troops were more interested in the Dallas Cowgirl cheerleaders who were a part of the troupe. 😉

    Thank you SO much for uploading this! Wayne Newton singing "April Showers" is one of my favorite performances he gave on the Sullivan show! He really scored a home run with this performance, and I love his rendition. I first saw it in a "Best of Sullivan" show in the '90's and was hoping it would be posted someday.

    "My Name is Wayne Newton" as Elvis often said after the Opening Songs in Vegas 1975😂...Wayne Newton is still alive and an Icon on those good old Vegas Days👌

    His appearance and voice correspond to those of a teenager, even when he was almost 24... This Las Vegas legend is still alive, although now his face no longer reflects the puberty of that time but the traces of surgeries...

    • @KajiVocals
      @KajiVocals Год назад +1

      There’s been rumours his voice has not changed in puberty and he had hormonal treatment to fix it. Honestly as a student of voice pedagogy I do not see how that would NOT be the case. The voice he had till his late 20s was that of a young mezzo-soprano. It would not have changed to a voice of a tenor just like that.

    Amazing how his range and register is so high. Wow. If you close your eyes, you think it might be a woman.

      WN actually had a three octave range, and was mistaken for Margret Whitting! But nope, they lowered the keys in the 70’s and broke open Mr. Excitement’s power!

    The Ed Sullivan Show was a big deal with my parents when I was a kid. I distinctly remember this performance because without looking I thought it was a woman singing the song. At 14 I couldn't figure out what I was watching. Nothing being taken from his talent though.

    It's a good thing he was a fresh talent in the good old days of the 1960s. If he had been born 60 years later, he would have identified as trans in 2023. It's the big FAD nowadays! 🤪
