You can detect bits of his Llanito accent here. To this day, many Gibraltarians still struggle with the word 'thousand' - notice how Albert says "thirty thouthand people and fifteen thouthand cars", Love it.❤
@@suem8591 Exactly what I just said. Spent the entirety of my adolescence there, into my mid-twenties and I also hold a Gibraltarian passport. Why, what are YOU talking about?
@@suem8591 Re-read my post and you'll see it says 'many Gibraltarians'. And no, not 50 years ago - most of the guys I was in Bayside with (86-92) still have that nuance in their accent, as did nearly all the teachers. Come down off the cross, que necesitamos la madera.
@@johnnyboy2k My son and daughter were in school in later years .. never have they spoken like that. Some might have a stronger 'llanito' accent than others but rarely is that the case now. And 'thouthand'?
I wouldn't assume he was, but I wouldn't assume he wasn't. Like most people, I wouldn't recognize his accent as being from Gibraltar if it came up and bit me; it sounds as much like a NY accent as English. It actually sounds like something you might hear from an actor trying unsuccessfully to imitate a Bronx accent.
If I hadn't listened to him explaining he's from Gibraltar before, I sincerely had thought he was from Spain. I'm an English teacher in Mexico and sometimes I have students from that country. When they really try to speak the language and get an accent, sound so similar to Mr. Hammond here.
Yes, the switch from the rounded desk with the Spanish-tile pattern cut into the plywood (plus porn-shag rug) to this nondescript desk (plus in-your-face plaid chairs) must have been for the fall of 1975. Both were perfectly hideous, following the fashions of the day.
Of course. I'm Scottish, after all. What I'm pointing out is that whereas South African English, Australian English, New Zealand English have their own peculiarities and are quite distinctive, Hammond here sounds like an Englishman who's desperately trying to sound American, or even an American who's hardly trying to sound English, that's all...
@@220773 I've been trying to figure out his accent too! To me it sounds part British, part American, and even part Spanish...like a mixture of all of those. It's definitely unique though! I like it a lot.

So few interviews with him available.
One of the 20th century’s greatest singer/songwriters.
He had a great hit in Spanish too
Love Albert Hammond! Love his accent!
First time watching Albert Hammond in talking show, very interesting interview, thanks!
Very handsome
Great song followed by an amusing and interesting talk
Wish I had met him in person than . To be a teenage in the 70’s
Albert Hammond should be super famous.
Never heard this guy talk before. What a surprise the accent is. Always thought he was American.
What an Amazing Man. Thank you
Loving that 70's hair !
What is Gibraltar famous for? For Albert Hammond, of course!
Gibraltar is also famous for Miss World 2009.
Gibraltar is so much more. Charo

@@suem8591 Is a sentence such as "Go and inform yourself" evidence of that level of education, then? 'Ta patinando, chiquilla.

He can look & sound like anyone I think.
How would people think he is from America with that accent?

@@IngridAlcazarOficial Albert is fluent in Spanish by the way!
Any idea what he sang that night?
Yeah.. his first song was "It never Rains in Southern California", and his second song was "99 Miles From L.A."
No way this was 1973. That set was not used on the Tonight Show until 1975.
Yeah, the way he's dressed suggests the year 1975. GROOVY DAYS!!

May 8, 1975
Did he sing '99 Miles From L.A.'?
Anyone know who the other guests were?
The guest next to him is Charles Nelson Reilly.
Dennis Weaver as well... McCloud...
May 8 1975
other contributors say the same . i don't think Albert remembers for sure .
Such a nice person and a great singer.
Charles couldn't take his eyes off him.
What the hell of an accent is this????????? Shouldn't Gibraltarians have a clear British accent???

'Xactly! He's a bit of a foreigner who's having his try on English, plus some kind of 'wow, sounding American is soooooo trendy'... ;-)
+Gianmaria Framarin He was born in London.
He still sounds like someone who's having a go at a New York accent...
