KEN SLAVIN: "GUESS WHO I SAW TODAY?" (In Concert)

My interpretation of the Nancy Wilson classic. I love performing this song! This video is from my 1999 concert at the Empire Theatre in San Antonio - a fundraiser for the San Antonio AIDS Foundation. Musicians: Andrew Langham, piano; Chuck Moses, bass; Steve Glaeser, drums.

Thought you did a great job. You did not make it all dramatic, Nancy song this in the 60's and Chante sang it in 08 and each time I hear this timeless song I love it.

Well done!

@Rochonne Hi there! You are so nice to write - and to watch the video.  Thank you very, very much! - Ken

Wow, this is the 1st time I've heard a male vocalist sing ths song. Like your phrasing. Great job

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@comingout05 Hello! And thank you for your kind words! As you can see from some of the comments, a few viewers didn't like a man singing the song....and one guy accused me of trying to "do" Nancy Wilson! I just like the song and tried it out at this AIDS concert and people liked it. I've sung it ever since. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write! Sincerely, Ken

[ManagerGuy1]

No, not for a male singer.. He does his best Nancy Wilson but falls way short.. Sorry.

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@ManagerGuy1 I just wanted to add that I wasn't trying "do" Nancy Wilson and I don't imitate other singers. I am just me and I select material that I feel and that I enjoy performing. As a gay man, I completely get this song. Again, I don't expect everyone to like what I do. But I keep on doing it anyway, and I am blessed with people who enjoy my work. Twenty-one years and counting. I am always happy to have feedback and thank you for visiting my channel. - Ken

[MusicalFeelings]

Great song, pity the sound is scratchy. But it's such a pleasure to watch you performing live!!

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@ManagerGuy1 Hi! Thanks for the comment. Of course, I don't expect everyone to like what I do or to accept my interpretations of songs. That is the chance all performers take. That particular night, my audience enjoyed the song and I enjoyed singing it. I do thank you for watching and commenting! And I appreciate your opinion. Sincerely, Ken Slavin

@JazzPurist Hi there! Thank you so much!

[JazzPurist]

I didn't think this song would translate well with a male voice... I was sooooooooo wrong. You have a voice suited for songs like this. Well done!
