Robert Goulet, Patti Roberts, Richard Roberts: Easter medley

[waverly2468]

Oh man, that Patti Roberts is gorgeous. I used to watch this show in the 70's. Later I read Patti's book about the breakup of her marriage and the recent financial scandals at ORU. Also Robert Goulet's untimely passing and his ill-fated last Las Vegas show at the Venetian casino. (He had to close the show because of "four-walling"--which means the singer has to pay rent to use the hall and apparently Goulet couldn't sell enough tickets to keep his show going.)

I watched, as a much younger person :) every week - just to hear Patti & Richard's duets. They sand so well together.

[NEWDUG]

Wow! I had no idea this existed! I was in the studio audience during this taping-- January 23, 1976. (I still have the flyer, signed on the back "God love you, Bob Goulet.")

[randymayfield]

Hey, I'm actually in this video! The White guy with big hair...as I recall, Goulet came to this video shoot rather drunk! It was pretty funny to hear some of his comments. And yes, Carlton Pearson sang with the World Action Singers. There are many more great videos like this out there somewhere!

[VideosTimes2]

Nice to know who you are in this group. I have more of these specials. They really were nicely produced and executed! I enjoy the one from Alaska a lot! I'll try to get more posted from time to time. I've heard that Goulet was pretty much going the heavy booze route, while proclaiming his great religious convictions. I wonder if that's why he blew some of the lyrics in the songs.

wow say what you want to say..patti could sing!!!....televangelists really make me sad...it seems so full of hypocrisey....but hey I guess life is full of hypocrissey..

[zephyrhorn]

I must be the only person to find this Robert Goulet "moment" incredibly funny. Where does one start?? The boiled-egg size pinkie ring he sports? Did he not get the Easter dress code memo? I think he borrowed the shirt from the Flying Nun. And how about that out of tune, gravelly first entrance he sings to the teleprompter? Too bad he didn't attend rehearsals to see how long to hold that final note...WHOOPS. Guess he had a gig on Holy Saturday.....

[EarlSnohomish]

He was actually dressed fairly conservatively for that era, believe it or not. The '70s weren't for the faint of heart. :-)

Richard reminds me of Bob McGrath--his looks I mean.

This is so very nice. I wanted to post it on my blog, but it says "Embedding disabled by request". What a disappointment! :o( I want to post it tonight because I have to work on Easter. Bummer! Please send me the embedding thing.

Anyone notice Carlton Pearson singing in the background lol

[VideosTimes2]

Who is Carlton Pearson? Should I have heard of him?

[emersonthegreat]

He was a prominent person in ORU history. Often referred to as "my black son" by oral roberts. Founder of Higher Dimensions church in Oklahoma, most recently labeled a heteric by everyone because he changed his views. google him lol.

[VideosTimes2]

Thanks for the info. I DO know who he is and have seen him on several news shows recently...he sounds like an interesting person.

[BastardfromtheBush]

Robert Goulet was an American born in Mass. to French Canadian parents and he went back to Alberta (wherever that is) as a kid.

His relatives made him wear blackface & do Al Jolson impersonations and he was so embarassed by this, that throughout his life he always had to battle really terrible 'stage-fright'.

However, he was such a big hit in Camelot that he wowed everybody.

[keith8404]

He became a star speaker and singer within Charismatic churches. In 2003 he announced God had revealed to him a "Gospel of Inclusion": Christ's death provided automatic universal atonement, a personal decision regarding Christ is irrelevant to salvation and Hell is the presence of suffering on earth, not a literal place. In 2004 the Joint College of African-American Pentecostal Bishops labeled him a heretic. He has been the subject of profiles on NPR, CNN and MSNBC.

[torahtaichi]

wow..is patti's book "ashes to gold," proven true and prophetic in light of recent developments..what is she doing now? someone post an update please

[wilmoer]

FINALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying for ages to find an old clip of Richard and Patti Roberts. Goodness, you can't even find her photograph anywhere on the internet these days. I was never much of a fan of those two, but this brings back fascinating memories.

[heishehui90210]

wow.. jordan really looks like Richard! They look so much alike!

[missvick48]

Pattie looks older than richard. wonder if they had the two girls yet? Good video thanks for posting it.

[JukeboxTenor]
