I loved this man when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. Super talent, super voice, a very gracious and very humble man ! A very rare and beautiful human being.! Thank you Wayne Newton ♥️
He sure looks different here! His natural hair color is light brown, not the black hair that we usually associate with him. I've always loved how he smiles a lot when he sings. He looks like he is having a ball and it makes me happy just watching! :)
@@joeburton1232 either say something nice or nothing at all!!! I’ll shut you up myself if I catch you saying something stupid again!!! Don’t fuck with me either, JoeBlow! I have ZERO tolerance for rude and idiotic people and you’re at the top of my list of the most idiotic, stupid people I’ve ever seen in my life!!!
Who doesn't love Super-talented Wayne Newton. Personally, I don't care for this song, but I've always liked Glen Campbell, who of course made it a big hit, and I liked John Hartford, the writer and the first to record the song. R. I. P. Glen 🎸 Campbell John 🎻 Hartford
@@joeburton1232 All these negative comments I see from you makes me wonder why you are such a miserable, hateful, f'ck !!?? Does he owe you $5.00 or something ?? 🤔
One of the most all-around talented and sincere gentlemen in the entertainment business. Wayne's musicality is sensational. BTW, a close companion to Glen Campbell. The audio on this clip does not due justice to his live performance.
Jeff Kain Funny, I've always heard he was a lier, in particular how he kept changing the story about the confrontation he had with Johnny Carson about Johnny's spot on comments that he was gay.
Really love the horn section and sound in this version of Gentle On My Mind, they really make the song upbeat. Waynes voice has really changed up to this time considering looking back at some vids 3-4 years prior and his voice is much softer. Part of growing up and still sounds ok.

Idk… everyone gets hung up on the carson bs and make their jokes but honestly i always thought he was a gentleman on stage. Always acknowledges the musicians playing behind him. Incredibly talented singer across multiple decades. Also that was really classy how he set up the banjo player and had everyones attention on them when the solo started up 1:37
This is how he was all through his shows. Always featured his band and backup singers. The pit bosses would get irritated by him because he would always go way overtime. He loved giving everything to his audience and was in no hurry to end the show.
"Hey man..I feel kinda like an imposer trying to follow the massive footsteps of Hartford and Campbell", Don't worry kid we got some horns in there to back you up, just be sure smile alot..and they'll love it.. it will be over before you know it..
John Hartford. If you ever get the chance look him up. He wrote the song. Okay Wayne Newton is doing a commercial song of it. And I thank him for that. Mr. Hartford would not have received so may royalties for this song otherwise. Just watch Mr. Hartford doing it with his banjo. You will want to faint.

Tim . It is not just about this song. It is about the man who wrote it. And sang it. But much more than that. Listen to everything else he did too. Hope you get it. Let me know if you do or you do not.
BILLY COSTA go see his show in Vegas, he can just about play every instrument, I’ve seen him several times in Vegas and didn’t realize just how talented he his!!!!
This guy is heavily Elvis influenced, and thought the world would have him as a replacement for the King. Is essentially an Elvis impersonator in the guise of an original. And he tried to maintain that persona on and off the stage. Difference between the two like in the song is great. They are opposites. Elvis's version sounds like he went through a life experience, this version sounds like the record was on the wrong speed or the Chipmunks or something we're singing rather comical.
Ya, cause they hated each other, right arse-hole KK? Read Wayne's book, then look at the pics in it, then watch this clip: ruclips.net/video/zwTgjc5S2r4/видео.html They were friends, putz

It's because she's awkward and embarrassed by the lyrics, imagine a 13 year old girl dressed up as a man and trying to sing a masculine type of song, must be kind of awkward for her, better of sticking with the light hearted Al Jolson song's

This man is 80 years old, and still performing in Vegas. He IS a National Treasure! Mr. Vegas!
He’s likely still performing because he spent all of his money.
When Wayne Newton sings, he always looks so happy. 😄 He's a real master of his craft!
And I'm not sure there isn't an instrument he couldn't play... quite a talent in his time...
I loved this man when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. Super talent, super voice, a very gracious and very humble man ! A very rare and beautiful human being.! Thank you Wayne Newton ♥️
who just stumbled upon this and clicked it..
Thanks for stumbling across it
EXCELLENT
Sorry I did
Flawless! Incredible performer and an absolute nice guy! Very charming and gracious to everyone!
He sure looks different here! His natural hair color is light brown, not the black hair that we usually associate with him. I've always loved how he smiles a lot when he sings. He looks like he is having a ball and it makes me happy just watching! :)
Wayne was really blonde. brown hair.
I love how you can't tell if he's a man or woman
He started coloring his blond hair black when he started claiming he's half Native American Indian. Ridiculous really.
@@gerrydooley951 are you serious?
@@marykatherinekarolewski97 Similar to Elvis. But Elvis hair was light brown, not blonde (or was blonde as a child). He had natural medium brown .
He sings effortlessly!
The smile never ever went away... he is like 80 now and still smiles the same
Bless his heart, with the amount of plastic surgery he’s had, it’s the only expression he can make.
Such a wonderful entertainer. Wonderful sounding voice. Always love listening to him.
This guy is a super talent and the nicest person! Love him ! First time I saw him was a year after this . 1973.
Multi-talented entertainer. Never be anything like him again.
....his not dead... September 18.20
THANK GOD
Wayne Newton is a Giant. 🎶☮️
Definitely a giant hack...laughable he actually had a career

Bravo Wayne! one cool dude right there.
He was one of the best I’ve ever seen live.
You need to get out more

Who’s here in 2025?
Nobody yet! 😂
Dear lord..that guy has made and lost many fortunes being a cartoon ..LAUGHABLE..DANKE SHANE
The man just has talent..period
You misspelled talent and. Is about right hes a blood clot on Vegas
He looks so much different now....he looked much better then
I'm afraid plastic surgery did him wrong. 😞
30 year old Wayne Newton on 11-7-1972. D.O.B., 4-3-1942.
Great version
Remember he always be Mr.Las Vegas.I don't care what people said
Love Wayne Newton. Love this song. This didn't work for me. I literally had to check to see if my playback speed was set at a faster speed.
When Newton was always talented, but when he changed his image she became a superstar.
Wayne Newton looks like Pat Buttrom -- the guy who played Mr. Haney on Green Acres,
Gosh he was truly young here
29 years of age.
I think he must have had a tank of hellium backstage
This was 1972. He sure changed by 1982....got really cool, and sexy! Look at some of his ‘80’s performances, really great and looks much better.

When he started out he looked like a little boy, but it's always been that unquenchable smile and tha awesome voice!
That song has enough words for 2 songs!
And too many notes.😊
He really does know how to play guitar, and even finger pickin the sign of a true guitarist.
Wow I am amazed , what a great singer.
Wayne Newton de lo mejor que ha existido como cantante.
He' always been so cute. There something about him baby i like.
Evey person that wears a continual smile is usually found to be attractive.. for both males and females.
He's not trying to be Glen, He's doing his best Wayne Newton! made a pretty successful career out of it too, I might add.
I had no idea how smoking sexy He was. Im an Elvis person, But WOWWWWWW. SMOKING HOT. ADORABLE. THAT CROOKED SMILE💥💥💥💥

Never thought he could sing at all but he played many different instruments and was good at that how he made it as big as he did is beyound me.
Google him. He's got an amazing list of great songs
I like him.... he’s just great. Plus he was buddies with the king
He was so pretty, no wonder all the boys loved him.
Wayne is a mean picker too ! But if anyone knows how to put a song across, it is most definitely Wayne Newton !
I love this would love the whole show
I never knew he played so many instruments
HE DOESN'T...he has been a hack performer for 50 yrs...its laughable
Tremendous entertainer.

@@waynenewton2035 you are an imposter. Stop being a troll.
the real star here is the banjo player. just sayin'
Please look at my reply today. And watch John Hartford who wrote the song doing it on his banjo.
I implore you to go to RUclips and ask for him. Your life will never be the same again. Cheers from Dianne in Australia.
Tim . It is not just about this song. It is about the man who wrote it. And sang it. But much more than that. Listen to everything else he did too. Hope you get it. Let me know if you do or you do not.
Makes me happy that you do too. Thank you for saying so.
You’ve didn’t see Wayne live I guess, he could play everything.
One of the Greatest
Настоящий американский мен, красава! Поет прилично и выглядит отлично!!! Приятно посмотреть и послушать...
Абсолютная правда
Brilliant Picking
Love the bass line
he plays guitar great
BILLY COSTA go see his show in Vegas, he can just about play every instrument, I’ve seen him several times in Vegas and didn’t realize just how talented he his!!!!

Good hairs
This was just before he transformed into the "midnight idol" and started saying he was a native American.
He does look Asian...at least partly.
Bobby darin + Newton .
You can really see that he is a native American
Glen had nothing to worry about. This just doesn't cut it.

He wasn't competing with Glenn Campbell - he is an entertainer...., and a good one at that

Now this is talent. I’d like to Luke Colmes or any of these other current pretenders out there attempt something like this.
How did this guy get famous ?
TheQakman Easy Listening was absolutely massive in the 1970s the carpenters etc
Two fast kills it
a great song, not exactly john hartford or glen campbell but well done by wayne and the band.
Why is almost everyone in the RUclips comments section is a crazy person?
devastator jr What IS that in your thumbnail!😱
lol
To make you look good.
It can't be said enough: Wayne Newton is God.
I don't like it fast the only one person I just love to hear of this ! Is the only one MR SONGMAN himself ELVIS!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rub a dub dub Wayne Newton and Liberace in a pink bathtub!! That was a joke and almost got Johnny Carson beat up!! Big :-)
Johnny Carson wasn't funny and a mean drunk... He's lucky WN didn't flatten his ass.
Do you have the whole show
His interpretation is more up tempo than Glen Campbell which I like!
RIP Wayne
Dont b a dick
Why is he laughing so much? Is there a mirror right in front of him ?
It's because she's awkward and embarrassed by the lyrics, imagine a 13 year old girl dressed up as a man and trying to sing a masculine type of song, must be kind of awkward for her, better of sticking with the light hearted Al Jolson song's
@@alberttatlock5237 you are a jerk
This 'guy' must have a surplus of estrogen. What a pantywaist.
Glenn is best

No wonder people thought Wayne Newton was a woman
Interesting hair style....LOL
Drax the Destroyer
Wayne must have been really hitting the hormone tablets at this time. Her voice is much more masculine here.
I believe he had a voice coach help him.
34th - did she? It's kinda working. You'd almost forget she's female.
I guess high pitched males dont exist according to you..
Testosterone injections.
hes got a kid
Wayne No-Tone
Glen Campbell and only Glen Campbell should sing this song
Sorry, sure didn't do it for me. Glen owns this song.
ruclips.net/video/zwTgjc5S2r4/видео.html
They were friends, billy boy. Its in tribute, not trying to own anything. God, you people suck
Hilarious the comments section is full of people defending him, yet all the negative comments have been removed, there must have been thousands lol
Looks like he was trying to have Glen Campbell's hair style. Lol
I like Wayne Newton, He could of pick a better song.. Elvis Presley sing the heck out of this song.. Sound a lot better..
I guess hes a good guitar player like Glenn Cambell
He's a multi instrumentalist. Fair banjo player for example.
