Leonard Nimoy - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town

[TheCuriousVulcan1701]

There is just something about his voice... so soothing and gentle and warm... it's so wonderful! <3

[barbnearl]

parts remind me of kenny rogers

[JDStorm76]

damn....i started to confuse Nemoy's singing for Kenny Rogers, for a moment. if Nemoy had devoted his time to music instead of acting, he could've made it huge. he had the right voice for it, at one time.

[wynnbeez]

Actually he could have been decent with vocal lessons. Got the raw material which is more than we can say for Shatner.

[menoly01]

You know... He's a pretty good crooner. I mean, seriously, if he had never done Star Trek, we'd all probably love him. And even at 50 I still remember my 16 year old crush...LOL go LEO!

[qatzelok]

A pointless cover by a drab has-been.

[BOUNCEFACTOR]

@qatzelok  do you realize he did this in 1970 and kenny rogers version was a cover also? Somebody needs a Vulcan mind meld lol

[qatzelok]

@BOUNCEFACTOR: It seems that only purpose of this boring and unoriginal cover was to give Nimoy's label (studio?) some more "intellectual property" to protect from nobodies. What a hero.

[Mzungu64]

The War was Korea! Nice version Dennis.!

[cro44magnum]

Okay THAT'S IT! Goodbye to you, self-doubt! I'm headed to Vegas to make a career for myself as a Leonard Nimoy impersonator. Kiss my pinky ring whilst I croon, ye fawning tourists!

[KhakiBlueSocks]

I love the drums in the very beginning. It's a very cool beat.

[jane78ist]

what can he not do wooooooooowwwwww oh ruby don;t go

[darkdarth5]

Nice. I never knew this was on here.

[michaelmontana77]

Great job Leonard...What a shocker!!

[HuttonGirl]

This is pretty terrible. At least Shatner has, um, passion.

[waynemegaman]

Fascinating.

[smj4535]

Not too shabby, Mr Spock. I think your logical emotions beat Kenny the R.

[blootina]

very nice! never expected to hear him sing!

[CopiousJ]

The only difference between this and the Kenny Rogers one is that Nimoy's doing the lyrics. I'm not sure, man. Plus, it's weird hearing Spock's voice charged with emotion.

[389Lee]

I love this. He is a great is a great singer!

[earlr1957]

Sounds good.

[geniusfollower]

Most illogical, Mr. Spock.

[stevekon11]

Yea right he sucks

[sineadc1973]

amazed spock could sing not bad 

[mrwolfhound]

WHO KNEW? This was not a bad rendition! Kudos Mr. Spock!

[DesertDood]

wow, not bad ... for a Vulcan! :)

[vision09yt]

Nimoy served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army from 1953 through 1955, alongside fellow actor Ken Berry and architect Frank Gehry.

[joshuame505]

Even Chuck Norris has nothing on his singing talents. :P

[telecasterhst69]

The Ultimate. Leonard bends Kenny Rogers over for breakfast on a daily basis.

[JohnnyHorton]

i am shocked and impressed. now beam me up.

[Fantasmo77]

Sounds like Bonnie Prince Billy

[madstyle15]

looks like spoc



[krappycone]

@madstyle15 it's his long time actor.

[7466309change]

mr. N imoy You could of gone very far you sing like angels sir.

[mattoh1981]

Fascinating!!!

[embojitsu]

Wow!!! I'm impressed; Spock kicks Kirk's ass for singing. Who knew?

[PHDemson]

He does sound like Kenny!

[karlwelch]

Spock Rules

[javaman64]

Mr. Spock....YOU ROCK!

[upabittoolate]

This is kinda badass.

[madcatmovies]

chocks away........briliant

[Rogerdodger715]

I've posted this on my facebook page, oh, 4 times so far. Gonna keep it there until my 'friends' all siten or explain why they won't.

[bertiejr]

did he just say ",,,curled yer titty's hair"

[willplay22]

@bertiejr yep...thats what he was talking about...that titty hair!...

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@bertiejr

"...curled your TINTED hair..."

[prunch72]

What 'Patriotic chore' has Nimoy ever done?

[RayNDeere]

@prunch72 Leonard served in the U.S. Army. Mustered out a Sergeant

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@prunch72

Mel Tillis wrote this song about a veteran of the Korean War. It's not uncommon for singers to sing about things they haven't done themselves. (Example: Johnny Cash never went to prison except to sing for inmates.)

[TheGump1973]

how good he sounds

[TheGump1973]

really amazed hoe good he sounds



[leonardnimoylover1]

i still luv his singing

[McGrottomaster]

Ha! Ha! Out of this world!

[winifredsslavetboz03]

Spock should never be allowed to take up singing. 

[iburl]

Hit those notes you green blooded goat!

[BaronBanahaw]

Master Xehanort album is epic

[jane78ist]

wow he is something singing this classic and this is my first time hearing him sings and he sings damn good

[mws755]

hahahahahaha i cant believe this

[mws755]

Is this for real ?

[PivotMasterES]

i mean, compared to Shattner's music, this is shit. Its alot bettter than todays music though for sure.

[MerscratianAce]

An Indian, a detective, a Vulcan, a cannon, a firetruck AND a singer? Is there anything he can't do?

[lookslikeiwin]

@MerscratianAce He was also Chinese in that one episode "The City on the Edge of Forever"

[migaud7789]

19 people started that old crazy asian war >:(

[zee339]

It's no bilbo baggins, but it will do.

[gypsyThree97]

it wasn't me that started that old crazy klingon war

[wandererlain]

Holy shit, I never knew Mr. Spock sung!

[usagoodbyeisayhello]

Well...there you go! 

[Bigdaveymac]

to go where no vulcan has gone before...... blue grass!!

[ronniesuperfly]

where did you find this and when was this recorded? Was there a whole album?

[OtagoMark]

You painted up your lips and rolled and cured your tinted hair......it logical to assume that you're going out somewhere....the viagra pills tells me thats somethings been going down...oh ruuubbbyyyy..this vulcans wearin a frown..

[GalaxyCartel]

It's interesting to see how much country music has changed in relation to politics. During WW2 and Korea there was no political message. By the late 60's it was songs like this. Nowadays every other country star wraps themselves in the flag on the way to cashing in at the bank.

[norseleague]

Leonard sounds really good! Although i cannot imagine a "Vulcan" singing such a song-what's next-'She loves you,yeah,yeah,yeah"??!!

Thank God Klingons don't sing or else they'd sound like the lead singer for AC/DC!!!

[79goldmaster1]

Nimoy sounds like Robert Goulet compared to William Shatner.

[starsiegeplayer]

Wow... he's pretty good.

[texasghost]

They play this song every now and then on the oldies stations.

What I never understood was..both Shatner and Nimoy both considered themselves very good singers. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

[glimmer2158]

He sounds like Art Bell singing.

[norseleague]

@glimmer2158 LMFAO!

[ThanatosSB]

Spock didn't start that crazy Romulan war.

[thesteveus]

Perfectly logical

[Hawkee316]

too funny OMG

[79goldmaster1]

Jewish people are such good entertainers!

[ArmoredFelix]

@79goldmaster1 They are evil scum who deserve all of the hate they receive. They should be exterminated.

[acesdude]

Like if you were suprised this was good :-)

[ImmortalSpirit1]

@acesdude I was DAMN surprised.

[mogges1]

Holy crap I didnt know he could sing. almost sound like Kenny rogers

[StanBennet]

@mogges1 If someone posted this as a Kenny Rogers take, who wouldn't believe it?

[glytchd]

@StanBennet Sweetly put... Leonard Nimoy is 10x the man Shattner was :D Too bad Shatner was such a narcisitic boob!

[stevekon11]

@glytchd Stop talking unsolicited shit about Bill you worthless nobody.

[MorkaGraven]

@glytchd I saw an advertisement for that lamewad comedy William Shatner starred in. They said "The Shat is back!" Ouch, the return of a post-tense poo.

[ewaf88]

Not bad but I preferred his performance with the Space hippies.

[stonebridge999]

Jesus Christ, as if this song wasn't bad enough with Kenny Rogers' dumb ass singin it, Spock had to jump on the fuckin bandwagon...

[fluketobase]

If only they had autotune on Vulcan this could have made oh, about the top 100

[awsomedom3]

call me a geek if u like but i cant see it as anyone but spok singing ruby

but might i just say spok has a surprisingly beautiful voice

[ferociousgumby]

Take some more pictures, Leonard.

[Thunder1965]

This is actually not bad. LOL

[inivux]

This version reminds me of what an everyday woman would expect to find sung for her by her everyday man.

[badlegend1]

This is strange and creepy,who would post this??How did I even find this?? I gotta get outta here!!!

[MrNoturaveragerednek]

Damn, he's a pretty good singer, who knew, not me, thats for sure.

[starXelfXyeshua]

Damn, he looked soooo good. ;P And he had a rather nice voice too!

[Rogerdodger715]

I don't know why everyone thinks a song has to be on key to be great. :-)



[waynescountry]

way to go spock iam glad this got beamed up

[Zayrina]

Someone help me uncurl my toes.

[nd03ltz]

looks like doctor spock.lol

[GNeuman]

It's Country, Jim, but not as we know it.

[MrXrayis]

leonard,dont take your voice to town.

[ecsrvjh]

this version has a much sweeter tone than kenny's. 

[josielpontocom]

Who foolished him telling he can sing?

I bet was the same who told he could act!

[us4korea]

Happy Birth Day Mr. Nimoy

[MrsTurboAwesome]

omg I'd spock him so hard and he's 80 today (yesterday, same thing, I haven't slept yet)

<3333 gahhh

[gracefulfeline]

Anyone who thinks this is Kenny Rogers singing clearly can't hear! LOL!

[H0ndaC1v1c94]

OMG...what a stud

[kamicka23]

Didn't even know he could sing. Not too bad.

[imwithisaac]

to go where no man has gone before.......COUNTRY ROCK

LOL

[MrJohndown]

This is not Leonard Nimoy singing - it is clearly Kenny Rogers.

[IloveJayfeatherx1000]

AWESOME! He can't get any better

[shmuli9]

Leonard wasn't a STELLAR (yes, pun intended) singer, but he was actually a pretty singer...

[Ringo84]

Nimoy sings the same way that he speaks.

[tribalbunny]

I completely agree with you cheesballhaggis!!

[1isaacmusic]

Impressive, almost reminds me of Roy Orbison, Cash, and Nelson.

[Slave2Reason]

So wrong on so many levels!

[transitrider1]

@DaDa2Phlux No you did not. It is painted up your lips.

[DaDa2Phlux]

Did i just hear him sing" painted up your tits" ?

[brendandawna]

Karaoke for the Cosmos

[edwardm60]

Pon farr anyone?

[scrundle]

Nope, you sound LOGICAL

[garagepr0ductions]

how leonard is so awesome!

[AgroDuckDespenser]

he can sing without auto-tune, more than current artists can say

[43patbelle]

I actually think he is a pretty good singer. why do you all get a kick out of knocking people down?

[zackgreer]

actually? At least as good as the original.

[IGOROZKARSKY]

This would have been a great follow up for Lee Marvin to WANDERING STAR !

[Evangelander]

Now, THAT was cool! What a great sound!

[jmaster1324]

If i could move I'd get my phaser and put her in the ground

[architecturalabdabs]

@jmaster1324 LMAO :)

[n7zsd]

@jmaster1324 I don't care who ya are....that there was fuuunnny!

[px4storm9x19]

@jmaster1324...that sir, is fucking hilarious. Well played.

[OtagoMark]

@jmaster1324 Its hard to love a man, with sharply pointy ears........But for a woman like you whos a plastic surgeon too their end must be coming near....and it won't be long I've heard you say until they're nicely round...oh ruuuuubyyy don't tamper with my frown..

[worseto]

Leonard nimoy ---- a real space cowboy.

[MuffinsDawsontv]

Well..I dont know about you but I would still adore Leonard Nimoy even if his legs were bent and paralyzed...

And Rudy why would you go to town..you have Leonard Nimoy I repeat Leonard Nimoy at home..

[StoneKnivesBearskins]

@MuffinsDawsontv I'd still adore him if he had no legs.

Ruby must be insane or something.

Thumbs up if you love Leonard Nimoy. <33333

[brasled]

His voice is not as good as it was on bilbo. Bilbo was better. He had fun, and didn't take it so serious.

[TankzOnline]

Ruby didn't take her love to town after all, she was held in a tractor beam.

[formigaa]

\\ //_

[RogerMooreFan1]

This sounds a little like country, but, <3 it! <3 u Leonard Nimoy! :)

[radcam69]

I near Shat-ner'd myself when I heard this.

[mrbdx]

Ol' Abe Lincoln looking boy.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

quit smoking that vulcan krunk, man!

[Rushgoon1]

Spawk likes caw... I mean cake.

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Not nearly as embarrasing as the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, lol!!



[sparky1313]

Well, I have a boner...

[AquANeoNDreaM]

I don't know, do you??

[DustyKiss76]

wasnt he spock? whys he singing?

[voicefunny]

SSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK­KKKKKK

[hugh750]

Leonard Nimoy has pretty good singing voice.

[Tristin329]

he sucks

[allentheone]

He loves long and prosper XD

[jsmit448]

I have listened to every possible cover of Ruby and I have to say Leonard nailed it.

[BensonsHandyAndy]

i needed a good laugh thanx spock

[pufferfish75]

this shows the affects of bad mind melds....

[GmanGregilla]

Not particularly bad at all, actually. Especially compared to Shat's covers, which are classic in their own respective senses, whether or not they were intended as such.

[mychickenlivers]

Try Shatner...haha..gotta love 70's multi tasking

[thiskiwigal]

Not bad at all. Tuneful and I could get used to hearing that voice. Considering the theme of the song his voice suited it quite well. kenny Rodgers is of course still my favorite for this song.

[church74steve]

OK it isn't bad, I really expected much worse.

[mario64bits]

Sing along and prosper!

[dibbythedog]

@mario64bits

ROTFL

[rorymufc09]

@mario64bits Great comment!

[MayhillBoi]

@mario64bits

HA! BRILLIANT!!

[edcom73]

@mario64bits are you out of your vulcan mind?

[mario64bits]

@edcom73 it only seemed the logical joke to do.

[imwithisaac]

@mario64bits lol

[cheeseballhaggis]

I can't tell why this has grown on me. It's definitely not the best version of it. Probably is the worst. But there's something about his voice that sounds... sweet... gentle. Do I sound crazy?

[katey1dog]

@cheeseballhaggis

Nope. And if I hadn't known this was Mr. Nimoy, I could not have guessed.

[hugh750]

@cheeseballhaggis No your not crazy i happened to think he has a good singing voice.

[SweeneyGirl310593]

@cheeseballhaggis thought he had a good voice when he sang in a ST ep!

[john92165]

@cheeseballhaggis I was surprised, too. It is a nice version. Not at all what I expected. I like it.

[SlideItEarl]

Is the drummer hitting two drumsticks together to keep the beat? Sounds too high-pitched to be a woodblock.
