My roots in Vegas go all the way back to the late '40s with my grandfather who had to sell Bugsy SeagaI some land that Bugsy wanted for one of early casinos to my birth in '63, my mom and dad worked there during the Rat Pack years and early Elvis at the International years. In all those years, I've never experienced a more talented, creative and yet, humble entertainer than Danny Gans. Only God knows why He allowed Danny to depart early but we (his fans) know that we sorely miss him.
the best entertainers I have ever seen in person were ... Sammy Davis and Danny Gans ... two diiferent types but talent with a capital T at both ends !
Miss you Mr Danny Gans ... bless you (RIP) and your family who must miss you very much ...
IN a Country that kills it's own Legends I am embarrassed to be here. I am American but I will litterally Rip anyone to pieces that tried to kill me. My senses are better. RIP Danny Gans I hope they burn in Hell.
My favorite bit he did MANY years ago was a duet as Kermit the Frog and Jimmy Stewart of The Rainbow Connection. :) Also his impression of a japanese impressionist singing Neil Diamond's 'Hello' was funny as well.
I say Danny Gans live, and he was bad. Beinjg an impressionist, I would know. He had a giant racket going with all the backup music. But, it's sad he died.
Hello Dorrism,I really enjoy this song and video -every few months I return to it. I decided this time to read the comments again, and seen your comment and scripture 1 peter 5;7. I hadnt read that in awhile maybe close to a year so I went to my bible -and my bible was open to that page.I dont beleive that was a coincidence just like Danny singing this for his closing number. There is a special spirit to this man and his loved ones. His talent seemed almost secondary to his personality.
I am much younger than him, but he was raised up at my church in Los Angeles. The last two times I went to Vegas, I emailed him. Both times there were tickets for two at will call, comped. What an amazing performer and what a great guy. He is now in glory with his and my Lord. Thank you Danny. Rest in peace.
@lumpy46 I'm so sorry I didn't get to see him in person. My brother loved him; said he was the most remarkable entertainer he'd ever seen (he lived in Vegas and saw his show many times)......I ordered a VHS video of his show yesterday on Amazon so I will be able to watch one of his shows. Watching these youtube videos of him, he was incredible!
Yeah thats really sad he died I have never saw his show but I hear he was a great performer and a good person. I'm hoping they release a dvd of one of his shows because I always wanted to see the show but never made the time.
I just heard this news and am saddened and sorry! i really wish i caught his show. i am reading tributes of how wonderful he was and really feel i missed out on something good.
This man had so much talent, I saw him live and because of him I have so much ambition for my talents. He let pure faith and God rule his life and because of that he succeeded in his talents. We all Love you Danny and may the lord remember you before his father in heaven.
he held up the lord jesus before his fellow man, i saw him live and i know he mentioned the lord all the time, this should be a source of great consolation to those who loved him, the lord will remember danny gans before his father in heaven. REST IN PEACE danny, from a fan in ireland
I just realized he changed the last line of the original Bobby Darin lyrics of the song from "And to think I get paid for this" to "I thank God 'cause I prayed for this." That was just a perfect last line that suited this great talent so well. RIP Mr G.
Yes, he did change the words to make them fit how he truly felt as a Christian. God did bless his life so much because he didn't compromise his faith. Amaizing thing is, he decided to sing this song at the end of his final performance 2 days before he died. Even his Mgr, was surprised that he did that. It isn't the song he usually ends with...GOD KNEW! We will never forget Danny Gans... But we can see him again in Heaven . John 3:16. Our prayers are with his family. G. & L.
Yes, Eddie, It was his final song ever! As I said, "God Knew" , but I don't think Danny knew it would be his last song. He had sometimes closed with that song, but not too often. He usually closed with something different. The Lord knew that he would sing that song and that it would bring glory to Himself (Christ), which is what Danny would have wanted anyway too. He was a great entertainer, Husband, Father and Christian. We miss him and cont. to pray for his family even now. I Peter 5:7

Yes! The family released this footage right after his passing. It was the first time he did this song to end his show. How ironic is that?
