Bobby Goldsboro - Can You Feel It?

This is a performance by singer-songwriter Bobby Goldsboro of "Can You Feel It?" from a show in the 1960's called "Jimmy Durante Presents The Lennon Sisters." This has always been a BG fave of mine, if only for the nice 12-string guitar part.

Not everyone can play a 12-string guitar. In fact, some really can't play a 6-string. It takes someone special to play a 12-string. The best 12-string players I have seen are Bobby Goldsboro, Jimmy Page, Glen Campbell, and three guys who played guitar on the Lawrence Welk Show, Neil Levang, Buddy Merrill (in recordings), and Clay Hart.

@JayBBluejay Don't forget to throw some props to Roger McGuinn, who loves the 12 String Rick so much, he seems to have thrown his 6 strings away.

Love the 12-string guitar on this song. This song and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin is 12-string Guitar 101.

Jimmy P and Bobby G... so rarely compared.

Bobby can sing any song and really make it better. Wish he was performing more and his albums were on CD. Thanks for posting.

Awesome singer/songwriter. They don't write songs like they used to. Thanks for posting.

@ggregsnyder Forgot about Roger McGuinn. I knew I forgot somebody.

This guy was so underrating--what a shame.

This man is awesome! Any song he sings is 100% perfection. He never screamed the words and he made you hear and feel all the words.

Way to go, Bobby! Am ever in love with you and Your music!

@doglips1958 It made the Top 10 in Louisville, KY though. Most of his songs were very big around here. "Pledge of Love" was number 1 in early 1968 here. Nice video clip here from when we had good tv shows unlike now. 200 channels and nothing on any of them.

I was such a fan of his when I was a kid (and through my teens) that the only time my parents allowed me to stay up late was when he was on Johnny Carson so I could see him.

@wormpiano When I was a teen I also had the Chocolate Spock hairdo, NOT because I wanted to, but , that's only way my straight hair wanted to lay on my hed.

God, as a teenager my dad and I would take long car trips and listen to his 8 tracks. We wore this one out. Great song. Thanks for posting!
