Bobby Valentino "The Man Who Invented Jazz"

[whoopadoopa]

He looks like a modern day Clark Gable...

[dastorm19]

The song is called "man who invented jazz"No one said he actually invented it! !!

[Aexexx]

I came here expecting a black man singing to some soulful beats.

[RNofficer]

@Aexexx I hope you enjoyed the real, handmade music more than the plastic, computer generated style you were expecting.

[watmoetikanderss]

WTF IS THIS??? THIS IS NOT BOBBY VALENTINO LOL

[dothenson]

@watmoetikanderss It is, and has been for the last 35 years. You're probably looking for the midget R'n'B performer who is now called Bobby V.

[paulthepill]

a voice like warm honey.......

[BantuNation]

he didn't invent jazz, but w/e.....

[RNofficer]

@BantuNation Hi Bantu,

I think the credit for inventing jazz goes to Jelly Roll Morton

[BantuNation]

@RNofficer

False Claim, he did help make it popular though.

The people who invented Jazz where African Americans though. I'm noticing alot of white people have a hard time saying it. No one has a problem saying and knowing white people invented classical music. So why cant they do the same with jazz......

[RNofficer]

@BantuNation Hi Mr Nation, I agree with you completely. I too am convinced that jazz was invented by black people it's just that we have no names before Jelly Roll and since he was black it seems reasonable to credit him. Another possibility is that credit should go to Tony Jackson who was also a New Orleans pianist around the same time

The other person who could claim a hand in the creation of jazz is Louis Armstrong, which Bing Crosby always acknowledged

[ZenBarracuda]

Another song I never thought I'd hear again.

[whoopadoopa]

This is too cool!!!! He looks like Clark Gabel as well. The Fabulous Poodles Rock !!!!!!!

[bbaaw]

hahahaahahhaha lmao i thought bobby v where going to sing and then kill it

[tonitesthenite]

What?

[AminiVanilli]

@bbaaw

haha me2.

[dseer13]

wtf is this shit? wheres my man bobby valentino?

[tonitesthenite]

This is the REAL Bobby Valentino who can play musical instruments (violin & guitar), write songs and sing in-tune.

I think you must be looking for the Midget who stole the name.

[bobbyvme]

HE DIDN'T STEAL THE NAME!! VALENTINO IS A NICKNAME THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BECAUSE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BORN ON VALENTINE'S DAY, BUT HE WAS BORN ON THE 27th!!!!

[dothenson]

A bit of a strange reply. If an established musician, singer and songwriter is using a name it's not OK to use the same name.

What if his nick-name was Elvis Presley, David Bowie or Paul McCartney? Do you really think the child sized R'nB singer(?) should use it?

[tonitesthenite]

What a unique idea. How many people have nicknames before they are born?

[Swingcommander]

Now,now children let's not be nasty. The diminutive R'n'B singer obviously thought he needed a good name to make up for his lack of stature and lack of talent in writing songs and playing musical instruments. It's a bit difficult being a handsome hunk when your only 5' 2" tall.

Let's not mock the vertically challenged. Bless his little cotton socks.

[RNofficer]

Prince does OK, and he's not very tall.

[KenStarr9]

But Prince is one of the most talented men on the planet. Not only does he: write great songs, many of which have been hits for him or other artists; sing fantastically; play guitar as well as any in the world, but also does all this and dances at the same time. Wow

[PascalObistro]

Hi... BV is a good singer too ! I have posted Big Country vids where he makes (greats) appearences !

[StainesCMD]

Never seen this despite before have the album, the singles and some promos. Seen him many's a time mostly with Hank's band and ocassionally with Los Pistoleros.  Thanks for uploading this. Great.

[elecoustic]

thank you!

[Swingcommander]

You're welcome.  Enjoy.

[ozt3]

that's not bobby valentino =@

[Swingcommander]

This is bobby valentino and has been since 1975. If you search thru Youtube will will find him performing with the likes of: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers; The Style Council; The Men They Couldn't Hang; Fabulous Poodles; Los Pistoleros; Jools Holland and many more.

[ozt3]

No he isn't bobby Valentino his voice is so DIFFERENT and the 'bobby valentino' who you think he is looks very different than the bobby valentino now!!

[RoshiF]

This is the real Bobby Valentino. There's a very short American guy who appropriated the same name. This one's the original multi-talented, 6'3" singer/songwriter/violinist who has performed with everyone worth mentioning. Do yourself a favour and seek out "You're in the groove, Jackson", his sublime album (which includes "The man who invetned jazz") - which was released when the short US fella was about 6 years old.

[HawkeyeWho]

ha i'm not a big fan of jazz but this is awesome hehe *dances*

[dothenson]

Wow, a talented Bobby Valentino. This one can sing and play the violin, can he do both at the same time? Who wrote this song?

[Swingcommander]

Yes Dot, he can. I will up load a video of him doing so in a couple of days. The song was written by Bobby Valentino and Will Birch.

[casienasie]

hahahahahahaha..

i thinkied it is bobby v at 10 years..

[tonitesthenite]

I reckon casie's right but bobby v appears to have shrunk since he was 10 years of age

[Swingcommander]

Bobby Valentino has been 6ft 3ins since he was 18 years old
