    As a lifelong Belvin fan it is simply wonderful to finally see the man performing at last. One of the greatest songwriters and stylists of the 1950s.

    Chilling!
    About 10 years ago,I was with the late Floyd Dixon,blues pianist and vocalist,and he told me with tears in his eyes,how he was waiting for your father to join the tour he was on at the next stop,when he heard of the accident that resulted in the loss of your parents.
    Your father's work on all the many labels,Specialty,Modern,RCA,etc. and all the groups and artists he sang with is just tremendous and a great legacy.
    I listen to his songs often and his music is timeless.

    "Thank You My Dearest Roeleke"..., I'm glad you stopped by to hear this..., because I know how much you appreciate "GOOD MUSIC"..., especially from that era.

    Always one of my very favorite singers. Lou Rawls told me that, when he first came to LA, he, Sam Cooke, Gene McDaniels, Les McAnn, Johnny Watson and Larry Williams were a clique. Lou said, "We all bowed to Jesse man, he was our leader." He, Nancy Wilson and Marty Paich's son David all told me then felt Mr. Easy is the greatest jazz/pop vocal album ever made.. and I agree.

    "Thank You So Much Sir"...,for recognizing who my father was/ is musically speaking!It's funny you mention Nat...(he too was SPECIAL).Nat was over at Capitol Records when RCA signed my father...and I read a historical quote that said..."When RCA landed Jesse Belvin,they knew they'd found the answer to Capitol and Cole...(unquote)!!!
    I have the quote(by Marty Paich) on my fathers MySpace page(officialjessebelvin).
    Once again,THANK YOU. GBY

    Oh my god how I loved this guy. I have nearly all of his recordings, and what a great, great talent with all of his abilities. When he died in that crash along with his beautiful wife, I couldn't believe it. When I read about where and how it happened, I always had my doubts about that "report." Anyhow, my favorite songs are "Funny", "Beware" and "Guess Who". I will always love him. I played him a lot on my doo-wop show, when I was a D.J.

  • @fxo369
    @fxo369 11 років тому +32

    A great performer, well ahead of his time. He died just as RCA was producing him and creating another Nat "King" Cole. He would have risen to great heights in the entertainment world. He, along with Richard Berry & Johnny Otis put L.A. on the map musically.

    I first heard Jesse Belvin on my mum's 45, Guess Who. A besutiful song and performance, a little reminiscent, maybe, of the late great Johnny Ace. This super-talented performer will never be forgotten, a tremendous singer and writer of Earth Angel and the classic Goodnight My Love. Gone much too soon, he lives on through his music. Great to see him for the first time ever - on UA-cam.

    Jesse Jr., thanks for these rare footage clips; I didn't know they existed. Guess Who and Goodnight My Love are my favorites. The chorus combined with your dad's smooth velvety delivery really makes these songs the hits they were. Also let's remember your mom for writing such a beautiful song, oh yes! I feel you dad was on his way to becoming the next Nat King Cole.

    First of all, people for years have compared my voice to Nat King Cole. I immediately halt their statement by telling all, NO I followed the voice of Jesse Belvin. Many respond by saying Who? Man, this is great. I have never watched your father perform. I did not even know he had a son. I grew as a teenager across the tracks and Jesse' jam "Guess Who" and "Goodnight my love" were the red light, highlight of a many house party. Thanks sir. I will be writing you again.

    Thank you for posting this video. I've never seen video of Jesse performing. I was born July 7 1960, nearly 5 months to the day after your dad's tragic accident, But in my infancy, my parents played 'Just Jesse Belvin' along with Jackie Wilson & James Brown & the rest. I'm glad to know that he was never forgotten, receiving praises from Etta James & Barry White, who recorded several of his songs & played on his huge hit. For such a young man, he was a very prolific writer & artist. God bless!

  • @recordking2
    @recordking2 14 років тому +3

    This is such a treat to see this on You Tube. Jesse Belvin has been one of my favorite singers and from the past that I truly enjoy. I am 35 years old and I play Goodnight My Love to my three little Girls at least one a week. They know all the words. They do not know what a CD player is but they do know what a 45 and a 78 are. Thank You for posting this, Jesse was one smooth and great looking dude!!

    dfancyman, your dad was sensational, had a voice like smooth mellow scotch. The backup singers and orchestra really add to the sweet romantic sound of "Guess Who." This song and "Goodnight My Love" are my very favorites. And let's not forget your mom 'cause if it weren't for her, they'd be no "Guess Who." God bless both your parents!

    Jesse - Greatest vocalist of the group harmony era Bar NONE! His towering talent inspired more than any other singer & continues to influence. An underappreciated master who tragically does not even have a book heralding his successes & writing skills. A long overdue tribute may perhaps occur this year - many CA vocal grps would like to salute his greatness. Check out theblackswansociety for details. Pray other unknown footage comes to LIGHT to dazzle the world with Jesse's musical mastership!

    The greatest vocalist of group harmony bar NONE! Jesse continues to influence singers to this day & yet not even one book exists to herald his musical genius & writing prowess! A long delayed tribute to this towering talent may perhaps occur this year - many remaining vocal group members want to participate. Check out theblackswansociety on the net. Thank GOD this footage exists to grace the world with the magnificence of Jesse's incredible vocal skills. He continues to touch our souls . .

    Thanks ausfan100...however..."YOUR INFORMATION IS WRONG"!!! It "is" on his double cd released by Ace,but Ace released that cd in 1992...and not in '59,and by the time they'd been informed that the title to that trac was wrong...the cd pact had already distributed internationally.
    Ace has done several "Very Nice Pkgs." w/ and on my fathers work...and there are plans in the works to bring more.
    Thanks Again...for your concern.

    Fabulous upload of Jesse Belvin at his prime, and thanks to a poster who identifies American Bandstand as the venue for Jesse singing 'Guess Who'; does anyone know the venue for 'What is Love'? I guess when Dick Clark wanted to come up with something a little different for his TV shows, he would sometimes have the guest artist dress up in Western gear as Jesse is shown herein on 'Guess Who' ... Clark also had the Skyliners w/Jimmy Beaumont dressed in Western gear for one of their hits!

    Perhaps the greatest vocalist of the group harmony period bar NONE! Jesse has influenced more singers than any other performer ever! His is such an underappreciated talent - it's a travesty a book hasn't been written on this creative genuis. A vocal group harmony tribute is in planning stages for perhaps this year - many remaining Calif group members want to pay a long delayed tribute to his towering talent! I pray more of his performances come to Light! Check theblackswansociety on the net.
