KEN SLAVIN: "GUESS WHO I SAW TODAY?" (In Concert)

[MusicalFeelings]

Great song, pity the sound is scratchy. But it's such a pleasure to watch you performing live!!

[Rochonne]

Thought you did a great job. You did not make it all dramatic, Nancy song this in the 60's and Chante sang it in 08 and each time I hear this timeless song I love it.

Well done!

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@Rochonne Hi there! You are so nice to write - and to watch the video. Thank you very, very much! - Ken

[comingout05]

Wow, this is the 1st time I've heard a male vocalist sing ths song. Like your phrasing. Great job

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@comingout05 Hello! And thank you for your kind words! As you can see from some of the comments, a few viewers didn't like a man singing the song....and one guy accused me of trying to "do" Nancy Wilson! I just like the song and tried it out at this AIDS concert and people liked it. I've sung it ever since. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write! Sincerely, Ken

[ManagerGuy1]

No, not for a male singer.. He does his best Nancy Wilson but falls way short.. Sorry.

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@ManagerGuy1 Hi! Thanks for the comment. Of course, I don't expect everyone to like what I do or to accept my interpretations of songs. That is the chance all performers take. That particular night, my audience enjoyed the song and I enjoyed singing it. I do thank you for watching and commenting! And I appreciate your opinion. Sincerely, Ken Slavin

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@ManagerGuy1 I just wanted to add that I wasn't trying "do" Nancy Wilson and I don't imitate other singers. I am just me and I select material that I feel and that I enjoy performing. As a gay man, I completely get this song. Again, I don't expect everyone to like what I do. But I keep on doing it anyway, and I am blessed with people who enjoy my work. Twenty-one years and counting. I am always happy to have feedback and thank you for visiting my channel. - Ken

[JazzPurist]

I didn't think this song would translate well with a male voice... I was sooooooooo wrong. You have a voice suited for songs like this. Well done!

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@JazzPurist Hi there! Thank you so much!

[PrisonerBob]

Ken DO like your work.. An apartment sitter

of mine got hold of my computer and

left blase comments about you. He's out and you're in. You're great !

[SanAntonioCrooner]

I'm disappointed that you are disappointed. So sorry! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

[fierochris]

Only Nancy Wilson can really sing this.

You sang it as well as any man could. Gay or straight. Liberace fan., Ken Slavin fan:Chris Fiero.

[SanAntonioCrooner]

Nancy is the best! I love her and all of her work - especially her earlier recordings. What a talent! Thank you for listening and posting such a nice comment, Chris. Sincerely, Ken

Glad to see your stuff is "making a comeback"!! Sorry so much disappeared!

Jon

[SanAntonioCrooner]

Hi, Jon! Well, I'm not going to be as "prolific," but I definitely want to get back "out there" on You Tube. I'll tell you, though, Facebook has turned out to be a marvelous place for my music. I've "met" a lot of new people on that site. Are you using it yet? How are you? What's the latest?

[BlackIndianHawk]

Hi Ken, I'm indian, settled in India, so I doubt I can appreciate the song the way you can... (memories, associations, etc) But nice. Very nice ambiance (ambience?).. Great job. Regards, Vikram.

[SanAntonioCrooner]

Thank you very much, Vikram - and I appreciate the kind words!

[SanAntonioCrooner]

Hi! And thanks for listening! I did this in concert several years ago and have kept it in my repertoire ever since. I love the song - and the verse. (I didn't include it here because it was damaged on the tape.) Thanks again and please share with your friends!

[napierlad]

Ken, a great job made there of that lovely song. Now I've heard it again I can't get it out of my mind. Yours is the only male vocalist version I've heard. Regards, John R.
