  • Unexpectedly good!

  • FELEJTHETETLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Never knew he sang. Beautiful voice

  • Funny, I expected this to be truly awful, given the spoken word crapfest that is "If". But then he starts crooning like some slightly more melodic Leonard Cohen. Go figure.

  • Telly Savalas a világ egyik legjobb énekese volt, van és lesz!!!

  • If Letterman ever does a top 10 list of things you never thought you would see in your lifetime, seeing Telly Savalas sing would be #1, no matter what the reason. The cigratette is a nice touch too.

    Classic.... thanks for sharing.

  • Telly Savalas a világ egyik legjob énekese volt, van és lesz.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Telly Savalas a világ egyik legjobb énekese volt, van és lesz.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I never knew he sang and pretty good too.

  • QUEM DIRIA..... O GRANDE TELLIS SAVALA. MUITO BOM

  • very nice

  • great song

    I love it

  • This is such a great song, miss you Terry!

  • It's more of a novelty act. Like when any actor does a charity event or a Broadway show. Just a quality early 80s uptempo country ballad/ German beer-hall schlager.

    He occasionally sports a solid vibrato :18

    His timbre is better than his tone - at least in the lower growling. That countryfied rasp helps to mask the off-key nature of some notes. And for some voices, an off-key note isn't as jarring.

  • My love for Telly will never die!

  • bring memories to my life!!!excelllent!! love his voice and how masculine he was!!

    mafalda65

  • This isn't singing, it's talking.

  • I just love it when he pauses during the song to light his cigarette and puffs a few smokes. What a guy!

  • I just tore off my ears.........

  • Malaka!!

  • 0:27 lollipop?? nah, just a cigarette

  • Ma perfekcyjny głos i klasę. A w tej piosence śmiem zaryzykować stwierdzenie, że lepszy od oryginału.

  • @fiolek1983

    W zupełności się z Tobą zgadzam. Fantastyczne wykonanie. Aktorów z taką klasą jest niestety coraz mniej...

  • papieros jest OK

  • Madame, Sie sind hier bei Telly und Telly ist der Mann, in den ich -wenn ich eine Frau wäre und es mich nicht gäbe- mich verlieben würde ;-)

  • Telly was the golden greek!

  • How do you say 'I'm going to stuff your browneye with my big, fat, Greek meat-whistle" in Greek...

  • DONT LOVE YOU BABY!  GET A REAL JOB.

  • Ok, I have to honest, I was expecting to laugh at this. This is great. He hasa solid voice and doesn't back away from the song. Keeping an open mind here.

  • Wow spelled backwards...I never knew that Telly sang.

  • go on telly

  • Uwielbiam tę piosenkę zarówno w wykonaniu T.Savalasa jak i rodzimego"Gangu Marcela".

    Beautiful country song.Amazing singer.

  • yeah thats good

  • Best cop show ever

  • wheres ur sucker?? come on now cigarettes are now not the cool!! lol

  • Super aktor świetny głos wspaniała piosenka nic dodać nic ująć!!!!!

  • Wspaniała piosenka, wspaniały facet !

  • I really like it that Telly likes this song so enough to do his version, and he doesn't sound too bad - not great but he manages I feel. He sounds so enthusiastic and you can tell he is loving just doing this classic. To me, this song itself kind of sells it on its own. It's good to see him here actually. I wonder if this was during an awards show. What a great actor he was. One of the best. Thanks coocksie for posting this. - Paula (formerly PaulinaRena)

  • Super KojaK....

  • Savalas alias kojak mi-a marcat oarecum copilaria iar melodiile lui sunt extraordinare.Vei fi vesnic in amintirea mea.

  • This was a Don Williams country song...

  • Kojak forever.

  • Thank you for sharing!

    Fröhliche Grüße aus Tirol

    ;-)

  • ........

  • super!

  • He couldn't sing but at least he had a go.

  • ...

  • Zawsze z rozkoszą słucham tej piosenki.

  • I wonder who got Telly's Smurf collection when he died.

  • Telly was married several times--once to Humpty-Dumpty. You see, the giant cackle took one look at Telly's head and it was love at first sight. "Once I found out he could sing," said Dumpty, "my brain just scrambled." The marriage tragically ended--not by Humpty taking a fall, but during viscious food fight. The Dumpster accused Telly of having thick skin, and Telly accused the oval of having a tough shell. "Grade A THIS," said Telly. In the end, Telly wound up with egg on his face.

  • I thought this was going to be another murder case for Kojak, but credit where it's due, he does not bad

  • Super !!!

  • Comment removed

  • Did not know he sang! Pretty good

  • Loved his Kojak series but not a bad singer too.

    Thanks Peter for the send.

    Geena

  • Świetna piosenka! Bajeczna! Najlepsze wykonanie! Ech!

  • He couldn't sing that well but attractive and appealing...YEAH!!! :)

  • Telly had a hard time catching nightcrawlers when he went fishing. He brought a mini garden shovel. When he started digging for the worms, the nightcrawlers immediately identified him as a giant snapping turtle, then inched down their worm holes at warp speed.

    Telly always ended up buying stink bait at the local tackle shop.

  • You can find Telly's likeness here in Chicago at the John G. Shedd Aquarium in the snapping turtle tanks.

    I also heard he was fond of bullheads. Coincidence? I don't think so.

  • Wow, I had NO Idea that Telly could say, but I used to have a "little" crush on him, have to admit, he was VERY Sexy, GORGEOUS brown eyes, nice smile, suave, liked the way he sucked on that lollipop (sorry being honest, lol)... "who Loves ya' baby"

  • What a talent! I had no idea!  Rave on Telly!!

  • Wonderful entertainer and no pretention. You were a class act baby. Think I'll watch my Kelley's Heroes Dvd now.

  • Nice movie;-)

  • Telly,moja mlodosc.....a serce wedruje samotnie do dzis...

  • I dated a guy who looked like this Telly and he turned me on like there is no tomorrow. He was 6 ft 4 and a major city police sgt. God I could have torn him apart. Telly has the same kind of magnetism.

  • love it

  • A little known beauty secret is that Telly shined his dome with Turtle Wax before each performance. Later, after the show, he would drive to the airpot and pay for a spit-shine for his head from the guy who shined shoes. They used real spit on his head--gave it that fresh clean look and new car smell.

  • Brilliant, I love it. He;s sexy, charasmatic and has a killer smile! Oh I miss REAL men.

  • Yeah, Blofeld is singing^^; great

  • Mein Gott in Himmel! I stumbled upon this video, and the last time I heard it was in Gerbach, Deutschland/Germany, near Bad Kreuznach und Morsfeld in 1981. We were at Frau Gertrude's ("Trudy's Gasthaus"), when the jukebox played Telly singing this Don Williams standard. We just about fell out of our chairs! God Bless you Telly, and God Bless the goodhearted of Germany/ Deutschland. Ein hertz fur Deutschland, meine freunden. I miss you!

  • last night i watch kojak and notice his krippeled finger , now i can stop looking at it

  • He has got an unpayable smile.

    I'm sad he is dead already.

  • Come to think of it ,he should of had the king size lollipop instead of lighting a cigarette.

  • Ah ,"Loved Kojak"

  • OK, Telly, here's my order. Pickled tongue, piled high on rye, lettuce wedge, a sprinkling of onion powder, and a large dill to go. And keep your hand off the scale! Last time I paid two dollars for a quarter pound of corned beef I never ordered. And change your apron once in a while. Even the flies are starting to complain.

  • Don Williams Version is better!!

  • In fact Don Williams version is much better. But you can't beat Telly's chutzpa to get up there and sing as if he were Frank Sinatra. Especially with a voice like Telly's. Notice the vocals in the background meant to enhance his voice.

    I also can't imagine that cigarette helping his throat any. See how he put his hand to his mouth to cough after he took a drag.

  • En France il y a un dictopn qui dit :"les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas !" Chacun choisit ce qui lui plaît !!

  • Telly's head in the corner pocket.

  • This guy. I dunno. Kinda weird. Kinda scary.

  • Immer wieder gerne gehört ...

  • lights a smoke while singing hehe

  • You like to eat, right? Right!
