    Timeline of a musical trainwreck:
    0:09 Goulet enters: √ ......Bass player starts early: √
    0:15 Goulet tries to gets his attention, fails...gives him the "ah, t'hell with you" wave: √
    ....... Smiles at the camera while he tries to figure out where the downbeat is.....and what key this bass player is in....
    0:33 gives up..Snaps √ XD
    0:48 piano comes in....sort of: √ ....drummer takes a guess for a few bars...exits quietly.
    1:05 Goulet hears this....laughs at how badly this is going: √
    1:16 Makes up new words (replacing the title of the song) with slight shrug: √
    1:24 Goulet says: How about this key!? √
    1:26-1:36 rhythm section, now sure of time and key, plays ever louder: √
    1:52 Band has entered, affirming that written music is now being played, and that this song will end soon.
    Goulet gives triumphant snap on downbeat: √
    ....I cried laughing so many times writing this out. Priceless....

    My late uncle was a bel canto tenor who sang Puccini : Robert Goulet was the only crooner my uncle called great.
    Why didn't Joshua Logan cast him as Sir Lancelot in the film Camelot?
    Goulet gave an impeccable performance in the Broadway production of Camelot with Julie Andrews and Burton.
    He lost the role of Don Quixote in the film Man of La Mancha: the part went to O'Toole who couldn't sing.
    Still, we have Robert Goulet's albums and they belong to the ages.

    Is this Robert Goulet, or William Shattner?

    • @hudsony777
      @hudsony777 3 роки тому

      I think Goulet as a musician is trying something whereas those things that Shatner attempts are simply well-rehearsed fiascos. Willy doesn't have a clue.

    Sorry, but this is terrible. Generic, cringey lounge.
    Elvis was right: all technique, no heart.
