Sergio Vellatti - Ol' Man River (Showboat)

[RINGOFE]

what can i say..once again i listened to this and it is so great. Although in the end, i cant hear the whole world..a-LONE. But still, Serg you r one of the best around and u know it. As Sinatra would say i believe..the best pipes in utube!

[angelzplay2000]

so can a female sing it???

Cause I would love to attempt to

I have a low voice so it could work

The low notes could work and I know there are some high notes that could sound good

[tantrick]

I don't say that often but in your case i have to say that i can recognize your sound.

[jpeg766]

Wow!!! I love this song, my late father used to sing this song, too. I loved singing this song especially the "jail" part when i was younger, awww! It has historical content as well, which i guess made it very memorable. I hope you are having a nice day, man! God bless!

[MrSandamiani]

Bravo Vellatti, hai trovato un modo tuo per interpretare questa difficile canzone - difficile, in rapporto alle esecuzioni: si sono pezzi che "appartengono" a singoli interpreti e adscoltarli da altri sa essere fastidioso...Old Man River "e'" Paul Robeson. (Sinatra, al contrario, fa pena). Bravo.

[LitezCameraAction]

OMJ is that you singing??? :O I didnt realise WOW you have an amazing voice. You have a very strong voice and hit the otes perfectly, your diction is perfect and your voice suits this type of genre perfectly x

[SergioVellatti]

@LitezCameraAction Thank you so kindly for that kind message! Please stop by my channel again sooN!

[gbllnglbrt]

Oh.. I L--o--o--v--e Sergio Velatti's voice! He is awesome and his voice too!.

Thanks, Sergio, and much success for you. Kisses from Brazil. Giballín G.

[currylord]

Very good my friend. The Sinatra version of this song is so good and you sing it so well also. Listen, have you heard of a band named Hue and Cry? You sound like a better version of the lead singer, who is called Pat and is also a first class chanter. I think that what you need is good Management behind you. With that, I think you could go very far.

[markcdotde]

Greate arrangement. Wish I had that kind of backing.

When you get a chance, please listen to mine.

Thanks

[dantzmusic]

A very moving tribute! Some of us have a heart that was born before our time...

[SergioVellatti]

@dantzmusic Thanks a lot, my friend!

[Scott89119]

Damn I wish I could sing like this.

[SergioVellatti]

@Scott89119 Ha Ha! Thanks, man!

[hiladz]

lovely

[hiladz]

lovely

[SergioVellatti]

@hiladz Thank you!

[delightsful]

Great singer,Sergio Vellatti makes us happy with this lovely version.

Merci Segio

[cthulee]

Very nice. I have a hearing problem where really deep voices are an audible blur so I can't understand the words. I used to love those deep rich voices when I was younger. Your voice is audible to me so I can hear the words and enjoy this song again. Thanks

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much, my friend! I really appreciate the kind comment! Glad you were able to enjoy it!

[3erooney]

@SergioVellatti

Wow, great voice man!

[MyMillie14]

@SergioVellatti

I came by your songs by accident, thank god accidents happen. Sergio you have a beautiful voice, if you have a normal 9-5 job you are wasted, you should be world famous. I have just ordered one of your cd's and now i am going to tell anyone that knows me to listen to you.

Forgot to mention, you are also very handsome. x Christine UK

[Tomring0800]

Great voice. Song sung exceptionally well yet now the critique. No-one can reach the rich and bariton voice of Robeson. I am sure you agree with me.

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you for the kind words! Stayed as far as possible from Robeson's style for a reason.

[BlueEyes0770]

FANTASTIC! Really love the clarity of your voice my friend :)

Alex *****

[SergioVellatti]

Thanks, Alex! I appreciate you stopping by!

[Mimana2503]

Every day, listen to this beautiful voice ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ Thank you very much Sergio !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SergioVellatti]

@Mimana2503 I thank you....everyday!

[jimmy59ca]

Sergio, I cant believe you havent sang professionaly, where have you been hiding, you are great, Jim

[SergioVellatti]

@jimmy59ca Haha! Thanks, Jim! I'm not trying to hide these days!!! :)

[jmatt4life]

WoW! Another AWESOME delivery. I am still in a stage of disbelief and joy just having discovered your gift a couple days ago. I am enjoying every one of your new/old songs. I could go on but won't. Just keep on doing what you are doing! The world is listening!!! (-=

[parametrio]

ok im listen again with more volumen

beuatiful voice

[parametrio]

in wich tone you´re singing is the paul´s version? to me sound a litle more like sinatra´s. howevwe you havea great voive and you made a great version, congratulations my friend

[SergioVellatti]

@parametrio Thank you very much for the kind compliment! I used a generic "Showboat" karaoke arrangement.

[7lizet]

beautiful

[18tammi]

This is beautiful Sergio.

"Showboat" is my most favorite movie of all time. It has been ever since I was a little girl, (I am 45 now.)  Hearing this brings back memories of when I fell in love with the movie! Thank you!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you so much! I absolutely love this song and was surprised to see how little attention it got.....but oh well! Haha! I'm glad I took you on that nostalgic journey and please keep in touch! Happy New Year!

[VellattiFan57]

I really love this song but I love it more the way how you sing it. beautill.

[SergioVellatti]

:D Thank you for the kind words and I like your username! Haha! Merry Christmas!

[utbr01]

I think Robeson would be proud! truly wonderful!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very very much! Merry Christmas! ;)

[utbr01]

excellent rendition...as soul stirring as the original. gr8 pics too! Thanks for sharing

[bosoxx44]

In my humble opinion Sergio, apart from Paul Robeson, yours is the best rendition of this legendary song.

[SergioVellatti]

That is such a great compliment....in which I humbly accept. Thank you very much!

[racingrubberbiker]

Sorry you forgot to mention the most famous singer of this song - the incomparable Paul Robeson

[SergioVellatti]

Thanks for the heads up as I thought I had included his name in my description. I only had his face all over my video...haha! I hope you enjoyed my rendition, nonetheless....

[chasongs]

Excellent version Sergio of a song that was always close to my heart.

Keep it up my friend and you will get the break you want somewhere along this crazy river.

Best wishes mate. Chas Rigby

[Keoniwa929]

Hey Sergio, what an Excellent rendition of this great song..❺★★★★★

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you so much for your time! Glad you liked it!

[oohyllab]

Great job with this Sergio. Very nice indeed! I look forward to eventually listening to everything here. Thx!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much! I appreciate that very much!

[Leonnidik]

It speaks not only of the black struggles,but of all those who have come to America searching for what they didn't have back home.This interpretation works because it is personalized. As it should be.

[SergioVellatti]

Thanks, my friend.

[totethatgun]

Well my new friend you just blew me away with this rendition......Outstanding performance, the vocal was exceptional, the timing superb and the interpretation spot on. You are a very talented individual, loving your channel!

Kenny

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you so much, my friend! Very kind of you to say. Hope all is well!

Serg

[TheMropinionated1]

This was very good. I give you 5 stars for this cover of yours.

Mr.O

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you!

[MotorCity1370]

Anybody with the vocal ability to tackle a piece as difficult as this, or who can interpret the meaning and the emotion of the lyrics can sing this song, regardless of age, background, or personality. As far as I'm concerned, Sergio nailed this.

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much!

[libra61060]

Great voice, but wrong guy, wrong song.

[Beverlyc3]

Sergio - Wow! This is a stunning rendition. Your voice is smooth, mellow, and complex ...like a very fine single malt scotch whiskey. What a happy accident for me - discovering your channel in my current obsession to hear every possible rendition of "What Now My Love". (Which, in my opinion, you more than do justice to). Now, if you don't mind, I'm going back to hanging out in your fine channel.

Cheers to my superbly-talented new friend.

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you so much for that great compliment! I appreciate your "hanging around" very much! : )

[emilygclarinet]

Very nice. :)

[SergioVellatti]

Hello! Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment! Hope you have an awesome weekend! : )

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much, my friend! Hope all is well with you, Luis!

[ElvisSacramento]

I've always liked this classic song immensely. This song is definitely a true masterpiece and your rendition of it was absolutely spectacular, 10 Stars.

[C00ZZY]

beautiful my friend..what an awesome rendition..

i always enjoy listening to your songs..great job!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you so much, Irma! Much appreciated!

[singingkid]

Man! That was so moving! Superb job, Serg! 5 stars!!! :)

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you so much! I had been itching to sing this song for a while now....such a classic, powerful song. Glad you liked it, bud! Thanks for stopping by!

[singingkid]

Forgot to mention, I favorited it, too. ;)

[Otisjseals]

Great, simply great. Are you familiar with Simon Estes version? Thanks for posting.

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much! I could not find Simon Estes singing this song on youtube - I will have to look for it!

[222pj222]

Excellent.

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you!

[jellybabie2007]

Great as always serg!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much, buddy!

[tinamac916]

I've heard the title before but never really listened to this song. You sound wonderful all the way through and I can see you on stage belting this one out. But I had to hear the other two well-known versions that you have on your channel. So now I can also add that your rendition is right up there with those. About time someone like you came along so that we can hear some really beautiful music once again! Thanks for sharing your talent with us this way!

[SergioVellatti]

Wow, Tina! Thank you so very much for the kind words! Sinatra actually re-did this song in the 60's and is GOLD! I will message you with a link.

[1915fas]

I think Sergio has heard this. Notice how close the ending is.

[angeluvr8]

Its amazing, you just keep out doing yourself! Perfect and beautiful. Susan

[shawent]

Beautiful rendition Sergio.

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you, sharon. Hope all is well!

[MotorCity1370]

Well done! A classic that I've always wanted to try to sing myself. Great vocals and a fine orchestration.

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words. I know what you mean; I have wanted to record this for a very long time....but I'm glad I waited a bit.

[althazarr]

Very nice cover of this classic!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much, kind sir!

[forge1rg]

Hey Cuz,

I don't even know what to say anymore kid!That was so damn good that I just listened in awe. You really sound great and keep up the good work. =O)

Ricky G

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you cuz. Thanks for stopping by!

[xtinethebean]

Very nice, Serg! :) I liked it a lot!

[SergioVellatti]

Thanks, buddy!

[bepo5000]

Hi Serg! Amazing performance of this song! Esta canción me resulta especialmente hermosa, ya que me trae recuerdos de mi infancia... ¡gracias por tu música! Y espero siempre más canciones. Tu amigo, Bepo.

[SergioVellatti]

Muchas gracias, mi amigo! Es una de mis canciones favoritas! Cantare "Send in the Clowns" pronto.... : )

[EdRambeau]

Another great performance, Serg. Love this one.

Regards, Ed

[SergioVellatti]

Hey! Thanks, Ed!

[54910381]

Back on YT after 3 days......... i have found this song of yours.

Well i have no words, i am speechless.......

yr smashing voice embraces the lyrics like if it was yr gal.

Great Job Sergio.

Luis

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you for that kind compliment, my friend!

[roadbiketraveller]

Thank you dear Jeff for sending this to me.

It is indeed superb, I love it.

Julia.x.

[ILuvDepp]

Wow Serg, absolutely fantastic :)

Love, Love, Love it,

You never disappoint, you did this song great Justice :)

[SergioVellatti]

: D Thank you, Nicole!

[Jagamp]

Oh WOW Sergio, that was so fantastic. It has to be one of the best versions of that song I have ever heard anyone sing since Paul Robson.

Your voice is so perfect its unbelievable. If somebody does not give you a recording contract on that song alone, than there must be something wrong with them :)

You have brought back the voice and sound that has been lost for many years.

100************** and Faved :)

[SergioVellatti]

Wow, quite the compliment! Thank you very much, Jeff. Hope you have a great Sunday!

[luverlything]

I am at a loss for words really, all I can see is you.on stage with a full orchestra behind you . It is where you deserve to be along side all the greats that have gone before you Frank, Nat, Matt, Tony to name

a few. Truly, you really are as good as those amazing singers and I have every faith that you will be as big as they were and still are. A new star is born!!!!

[SergioVellatti]

: D Thank you my dear friend.

[bud21s]

Wonderful job on a VERY difficult song to sing ! The range is wide and most singers either " bottom out " or " top out " and their voices just aren't up to the song . ( Think about all the times you've heard god awful renditions of the "Star Spangeled Banner ." ! LOL ! ) But YOU opened up your range and tackled it !!

GREAT job Serg ! I'm proud of you my man !

Cheers ! I'm buyin' this round ! :)

Dave

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you very much, Dave!

[daveb6t1]

WOW, WOW, WOW!... and what POWER!

Quite the wake up call and rendition on this awesome Sunday morning. It actually raised the hair on my arms. A true artist, both with your amazing voice and video presentations.

Serge, this is you at your finest... BRAVO!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you buddy!!

[1stMrMemories]

Just like the river. You just keep rolling out one great performace after another. Great job young man. I wish I had your youth. You have a great future ahead of you. Your range is amazing. Thanks for making my day special.

[SergioVellatti]

Wow...thank you for that, bud! Wishing you a happy Sunday.

[Corrie121]

[CrownOf26Roses]

[SergioVellatti]

Thanks, lil bro...I appreciate it mucho!

[michaelsacoma]

This song is up there alongside "Birth Of The Blues" as your very best. A great choice, and you more than met the challenge!

[SergioVellatti]

Thank you much, Michael!

[beeshor1]

Serg, you shocked the hell out of me with this performance. I must admit that I was impressed with your earlier offerings but this was nearly operatically sung! You've got lung power my man! That's not singing, that's what we blacks refer to as SANGIN"!! Great, great great work Serg!

[SergioVellatti]

Wow, thanks Bee! I appreciate that very much, my man! Lol...I woke up my neighbors with my "sangin", for sure!

[SergioVellatti]

Thanks, Mo! Duet soon? ;)

[C00ZZY]

you make every song sounds so beautiful...

lovely rendition...awesome voice as always..

one of the best version so far....

thanks for sharing that talent...
