I always liked this song and not till recently found it was a man singing it!! So high pitched I always thought it was sung by a woman. I still like it
I've known about Sam for a few years now and people who like showtunes think he's great but to everyone else, they say "oh my..how gay can he be?!". Despite his eccentricity (why should he hide who he is?), there is some amazing talent underneath all this and people unfortunately are too fickle and get distracted by one very miniscule aspect of himself. That is why he neer became mainstream but who cares, he has kept his career going!! TE ADORO SAM, saludos desde Chicago, IL
this is a great man..... do not spread rumors that have no merrit..... come on.... you know this man.... he is talent and love and I know he knows God......... hate and lies will kill ya...
In 1985 I sat in the 6th row center at DeAnza College in Cupertino, CA. It was New Year's Eve night, and I was with my dear gal pal Heidi. Sam, you performed for like 3 hours! And then at midnight you came out like Baby New Year. Sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow...made my entire New Year. And Last night after welcoming 2011 at midnight, I listened to Sam's, Over the Rainbow. It's been my tradition ever since 1985. Odd years are always the best for me! Happy New Year!
@nealbrice I saw him once in "Grease"... And this song was Top 3 in Seattle. He's short, but he can certainly can sing... Woo-woo... Though now his "mullet" is rather dated...
I seen you on the Tyra show. I ask Jesus to forgive me of my sins, for he is the only person that can forgive me . Yes i"am gay, thats not a bad thing. I"ve been with my partner for 27 years. I can see, you have a good soul!
@PKScoop I know, it's quite annoying, sorry, but out of our control. It's up to Motown to release the first two albums. We would be happy if only on iTunes. Please visit SamHarrisDOTcom and click on "discography" for more information on what to do to get the albums re-released. Thanks!
Thank you so so much for this. I fell in love with his music in the 90's, but the dutch do not sell his albums. My friend had the vinyl. I must admit we bought it for the cover. He was so cute and still is by the way. I know he's gay, but the nile is not just a river in Egypt LOL.;).
I LOVE THIS CASSETTE! I had to replace my original because I wore it out. Thank you for sharing your incredible talents with us, Sam! I've enjoyed listening to you since Star Search and have been watching all the Friend Fridays and videos over the last few weeks. Congratulations on your beautiful world and thanks for sharing! Much Love.
Oh my goodness I remember Me and my sister were there in the audience when you (sam harris) was taping this video. I still have the autograph pic you signed for me on that day! YOU ROCK!
Love you Sam,seems like only yesterday when you 1st started out you were out in SF,ca signing autographs:)I saved my program,all these yrs wondered what happened2 you,glad2 see this if I could I would go back to this time life was fun, dancing our rearends off.I rate 24/7 from being ill only lifes changes are hard this helps even brings a tear to my eye for real never heard this.Your voice is awesome and still is after seeing your new and older look now.Why Sam do we have to grow up:)love U all!
I love this song so much!! I can remember sitting in my religion class in high school unable to get it out of my head! (I did not mind of course!) I video taped it and played it over and over again! You and Matt look like you were having so much fun performing together!! Thanks for this video it was great!! (Do you think Motown will ever release your albums on CD?)
i was so so so little- like maybe 7, and i was totally in star struck love! star search was on,i was frozen. played the tape till u could hear the other side in reverse. stiil have it----good god!! the memories.
Something in the lyrics I find illogical: How can I "catch you if you stumble or fall," when I'm waiting at the TOP of the stairs? In order to catch a person, shouldn't you be behind them on the steps?

The guitarist in the red shirt and Whitesnake hair is Sam's brother Matt. :-)
Search the video of them working on the song "Free".

This reminds me of the "Ark Royal" pub in Plymouth (England) - Robbie the DJ used to play this video - he was absolutely nuts, in a nice way.
