If Ever I would Leave You - Robert Goulet

[DiPHXiA]

this will be played at my funeral...

[minniemouse2tricycle]

I met Robert Goulet..my cousins had a restaurant near Melody Fair..where they had press conferences for the entertainers..He told me he thought I was attractive..I was only 19 or 20 at the time ..he won my heart over..he is also a very nice person too

[banjo1414159]

This is the voice of a real man...

[Kr13579]

I am watchinh this because of Homer simpson

[wannaweed45]

Like if Will Ferrell sent you

[iamZIIIM1]

Anyone from my generation that doesn't like this can seriously go fuck themselves. All that bullshit like Rap and hip hop is just an embarrassment.

[Enofrappini]

.....Merry Christmas 2011 Bob....."if ever" there was an example of a man, you were it.....don't shed a tear there in heaven when you look down on the sad state of affairs regarding our contemporary music.....you have left us a legacy truly worth remembering dear man.....

[marcinjersey66]

What a great song. Powerful.

[bh5606]

A once in a century voice.

[Enofrappini]

@bh5606 so true.....

[MsJL72]

I was fortunate enough to hear Robert Goulet in person in Las Vegas and I was mesmerized, even before he stopped at my table, took my hand, talked to me and kissed my forehead. WOW. I didn't wash my forehead for a week! lol His voice was so pure and powerful he didn't need a microphone.

[Enofrappini]

@MsJL72 if I could have repicked my dad he woulda been it!

[estrada359]

A lovely voice,Robert !......and,sorry to say.....there's no one alive today who can

match the way you performed !!!

Rest in peace..........!

[imhere4uto]

Homer Simpson brought me here.....also.....11/22/2011

[Mistress1415]

too bad it cuts at the end :P Absolutely wonderful song :) x

[MsJL72]

Robert Goulet could sing the phone book and I'd get chills. Magnificant voice.

[donnagirl66]

man, if i had a voice like that i couldn't help but sing all day long, everyday....

[TheAnastasiaLee]

Beautiful Song & Incredible Singer !

~Anastasia Lee~

[ksnproductionss]

Some of the most powerful lyrical phrases and picture perfect instrumental.

"Oh no not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall! Know never i could leave you, at all!"

[apocolsipe]

Music usually doesn't touch me on a level such as to Make me stop and appreciate that I'm alive to listen to such Beauty...this is one of those songs. that just stops and makes me shed a few tears hearing such a beautiful song 

[TheHasanMurat]

Whats that Doc? Johnny, youve been doing this show for 85 years....GOULET!

[SillyBeatle]

He gives me the chills. :)

[laura030857]

Oh my God! Gut wrenching, tear jerking and beautiful. This is a great version of the best love song ever written. Brilliant!

[Elyograg1]

I wish they would bring good music like this back.

[hawkwolf613]

Who the F*CK could DISLIKE this??!?! Damn, get those guys to a doctor!

[iamZIIIM1]

@hawkwolf613 People who listen to rap, hip hop and dubstep that think the only good music is people bragging about either shooting people, being rich, getting drunk, or a wub noise being repeated over and over and over again.

[kelsmuno]

I just saw Camelot at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival and this was my favourite song of the entire show, partially because I fell in love with our cast's Lancelot... Unfortunately, there was no recording of the Stratford cast, so I've just been playing this video over and over and over, trying to satisfy my Lancelot cravings :)

[letsgovladii]

A featuring with Homer Simpson it would be AWESOME!!

[raerae0523]

5 people got left in the springtime.....

[Enofrappini]

@raerae0523 they weren't left.....they'll eventually catch up.....if they're lucky...

[Pawsz]

the most perfect love song in the world!

[laura030857]

@Pawsz

I agree! I can't get enough of it. I play it over and over. Listen to Franco Nero's rendition from the movie "Camelot". He didn't actually sing it but his emotion is gut wrenching, tear provoking and unbelievably brilliant.

[ecardon1]

This is my favorite vesion of this song taken from the Broadway cast album. Goulet was just beginning his career and was at the top of his form. There is only one Lancelot and his name was Robert Goulet.

[CynnDiva2010]

Homer Simpson brought me here.

[Jeffieboi]

@CynnDiva2010

Damn! I was gonna say that! lol!!

[1234sweetpeas]

@CynnDiva2010 damn right

[lilster3000]

I love this song so much <3

[aucksmix]

This is the song that made Robert Goulet a major star, from Camelot. Didn't he play Lancelot? A magnificent baritone, deep yet with a tenor-ish timbre on some notes.

[ahstc1973]

Just like Camelot - this version is almost a fairy tale - what a talent Mr Robert Goulet- he also displayed a great wit when doing TV skits - God there was so much talent around in the 60's - both entertainers and writers, musicians etc ... today reality tv etc ... is just about killing real talent - hopefully it is just a phase - till then Mr Goulet and others alike are enjoyed on YouTube - thx for the post

[nptexas1]

@ahstc1973 I agree! Actors used to be multi-talented. Singers acted, actors sung, everyone could dance a bit. Reality TV makes me barf. I truly do not get it.

[maddogmarine14]

throw your hands in the air if you think ur a playa

[babs22hh]

um wheres the whole song??????

[korypullam]

3 people need to jump off a cliff.

[ScripsitVeritas]

I remember this fantastic performance. My father took us to the Majestic theater in NYC to see Burton, Andrews and Goulet in Camelot. His voice was remarkable, along with Julie Andrews.

[venausar1]

I wish they would play the intro at the end with the singer. I think it'd make it sound better. But I do like it overall.

[madamerotten]

He sings this so effortlessly, yet with such command and grace. A truly great artist the likes of which we only hear once in a long, long while.

[lasinlo]

Fabulous; thank you so much. Great video!

[gigicd86]

Fritz was a GENIUS <3

[Jujunater]

This is a beautiful song. I think about it sometimes when I'm cheerful :)

[zzyyxxo]

love this man's voice. Clear and strong and lyrical. It doesn't get any better.

[ebariana310]

The greatest!!

[Jeph629]

This is one of those rarest of recordings that virtually no one else remotely touches! Goulet's 'If ever' is beyond the epitome of perfection. The recording is impeccable as well. I don't think this version will ever be upstaged.

[stagestar161]

thank u so much for posting this :) i love this song with all my heart and got the amazing honor of being his granddaughter. im glad that even tho he is gone that his memory and the love from his fans with go on. may he rest in peace.

[flowage5]

it reminds me of the girl I lost

[USAsoldier1955]

@Germaine52 You are right, most women are whores and sluts who trash marriage -- ending their short miserable existences as crack prostitutes dying in some toilet. That is why more men are turning queer these days. It MUST be true, I get my facts from the same crock that YOU do! OFLOL :D

PS -- But misogyny and misanthropy have nothing to do with Sir Robert Goulet's excellent voice and entertainment career.

[CoastersNSich]

Only one rendition of this song comes close to Bob's: Ralph Wiggum. "BOOO!!!"

[AwyLirgen]

Not In Spring Time, Summer, Winter Or Fall... No, Never Could I Leave You At All

[josephcantone]

ONE INCOMPARABLE VOICE. THANKS FOR SHARING.

[suzannimal]

I love when you call me Big Poppa!!! Thanks Will Ferrell!

[Dulcimerea]

I like to sing this to my dog. She likes it.

[RentandWicked]

What a truly spectacular voice Robert has! He really was an extremely handsome man when he was younger and if I only I could have met him

[jideemo]

I heard this song on the 60's and I like the song since then.

[Procrastimaster]

No! Why isn't the whole song on here? It just cuts off before he can repeat the last verse!

[shammonj]

I heard this song a while ago and forgot about it then I was watching the Simpsons and Homer began to sing it since then I keep listening to it over and over again.

[ChrisLoland]

I'm not into theatre or musicals or anything at all. But this song makes me want to see something of the sort, it just touches my heart <3 :)

[bh5606]

The perfect baritone voice.

[c5h5no2c]

Truly a Gifted man of voice!!!

[mixathe82]

All who have pressed dislike button have missed the right button, oh theres zero of them :p

[captainmo24480]

@mixathe82 now there is 1 of them :O

[Jennings03]

Superb!

[grandmagrumpy]

Check  Nathan Gunn, baritone beautifully commands your heart.

[saleswarriors]

What a voice. Great seeing all the photos of him during the years. Thanks!

[RPenta]

@saleswarriors

Even as a kid, I loved listening to Robert Goulet sing--imagine in the late 50's and early 60's you had pop baritones of such caliber as Robert, Howard Keel, Gordon McRae, and John Raitt!

[mauretania111]

My mom&dad had one of the albums shown. Thanks for this video, it brings back happy memories.

[MrMaxwellnith]

What a Person!

[Bubberscat]

What a beutiful voice he had.

Thanks for this song

[MBluvU]

Thanks!

[nancyfloressantos]

Theme song of the 1967 movie If Ever I Would Leave You. Originally a 1960 production.........."no.......­..never could I leave you.........at all..".

[jkoncz]

do you think he ever made love to julie andrews like burton did?

[fdori6]

mr monk was singing this :D

[HowlingMonki]

He's got such a great singing voice--I never would have heard of him if it wasn't for Mikey from the show Recess. ;3

[RIghtlyDivided]

Homer Simpson sings it better

[thenathanwearsprada]

@RIghtlyDivided XD thats what im watching right now! i wanted to see the original. and yes he does

[gamestopnate]

At my old family's restaurant, we had some Goulet albums on the walls. I recognize some of these record covers.

[joeparkson]

I saw Goulet when toured the country as Emile in 'South Pacific' in the 1980s.

He was in 50s but still annoyingly handsome and had tremendous power in his voice. It's too bad he never recorded "Some Enchanted Evening" and "This Nearly Was Mine". For those who claim he couldn't act; not true. He played it very well; nothing like his Vegas lounge act.

[JuanMacready]

Far better than Gene Merlino's version.

[ggglllllll]

man wish i had a voice like this ...

[sglynch]

loooove it when he sings it to judy garland! is it posted here?

[MeChaNisMx9o4]

What a wonderful song. I could listen to this everyday. This is music unlike what they have today.

[disneyrangerblue02]

I'm practicing this song for a play!

[texasgal12]

He kissed me in Las Vegas while he sang Light My Fire. :-) C'mon Baby, light my fire. Ahhhhhhhhh.... He was quite a showman.

[Highland804]

This song is from the musical play Camelot. Great voice!

[ChristineMarinaT]

Anyone remember Homer Simpson singing this?

[Pokemaster14]

@ChristineMarinaT YEAH!

[ggglllllll]

@ChristineMarinaT i actually want the mp3 to homer's version :D

[daleo717]

He used to have a show on tv each week, like the Ed Sullivan show, I love Robert!!!!

[ultimatejoeshmo]

only thing he needs is a french accent.

[JukeboxTenor]

He was of French Canadian heritage and could not only speak French, he sings in the language beautifully. Just research his older recordings!

[ultimatejoeshmo]

Cool.  I didn't know!

[manadharsuresh]

Fantastic a voice filled with emotion

[GosfordAbercrombie]

ugh he's wonderful!!!!!

[Bariebel]

What a beautiful song ans so appropriate for your Errol and Olivia video.

[lemonpeg]

Once in a blue moon a voice like this comes along and you can't believe what you're hearing! One of THE best male voices I have EVER heard!! Thanks for posting. What a pleasure to listen to Robert Goulet!! Class act!!

[shuckinspa]

@lemonpeg Did you know that Robert Goulet was Canadian? Check out "Oklahoma! Oh What A Beautiful Morning and More" HD.

[smokelean]

so wonderful and straight forward a vocal god

[xavier1850]

Must say, great singer. Good looking guy.

Great post. Thanks.

[groffified]

Robert Goulet was and is my favorite singer.

My uncle was on Broadway with him when he was 12, and I envy my uncle for that reason.

[Franny460]

No one else could sing this song so great!

[Mychaelsmama]

My late father loved this version of the song by Robert Goulet, and I thank you for the chance to hear it, and reflect on hearing it in my house as a child on the old record player !!!

[FuturePrincessJulie]

Your Welcome! I think that Robert Goulet should have been the only person to have ever sung this song!

[1001942]

@FuturePrincessJulie cliff richards did a fantastic version of this at ( talk of the town) .....

[90GameCrazy]

@FuturePrincessJulie

You did it. You uploaded a lovely song, it was my grandfathers song when he met my grandmom, now thear dead, just bewor crishmas 2010 (=(

Sorry for my bad english, im finnish

[EdMDiv]

@Mychaelsmama I had the same exact experience!! My late father loved this song and we had a wooden Stereo he bought at Grant's Department Store. He also played the soundtrack from the Broadway version of Camelot. Thank you for sharing the memory and helping me remember happy days with my Dad. :)
