Robert Goulet is alright

Like the orchestration on Matt Munro’s version. The piano and strings make a really effective march at the beginning and the strings add some really nice decoration later on. Voice isnt anything special

Roger williams is entirely instrumental and starts off insanely gentlrle, its amazing. When the strings gs take over the melody and the piano is doing virtuosic bits >> and the trombones at the very end???

Andre Kostelanetz and his orchestra is another entirely instrumental version. I like that it’s slightly uptempo as well as the harpsichord playing on it. Interesting that even in the solely instrumental versions there’s a chorus providing backup “oo”s

Jacques Brel is proving that not every song needs to be translated into French.

One thing about me is that I love listening to lots of versions of the same song. I will be listening to The Impossible Dream (The Quest) for at least an hour and a half thank you very much!!!

Yuletidings 2011: Reindeer Games

1. Rudolfiana:  Thirty-four minutes of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' as performed in mind-bending variety by (In order of appearance): The Temptations, Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra, Los Lonely Boys, The Melodeers. Jack Johnson, Peach Hips, Ray Charles, Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband, Straight No Chaser, The Asylum Street Spankers, A.B. Green, Yvonne Norman, Chris Isaak and The Rev. Horton Heat.

2. Reindeer Games:  A seemingly endless but in reality only four-and-a-half minute instrumental “Rudolph” collision, featuring (again in order of appearance): Tuck Andress, Eddie Layton, Los Straitjackets, The Big Band of Billy May, John Bayless, Sy Mann, Don Patterson, The Gypsy Hombres, Ira Ironstrings, a music box, The U.S. Arm Band, Lawrence Welk and His Champagne Music Makers, Urbie Green, Soda, Andre Kostelanetz, The Three Suns, a carousel organ, Roy Smeck and NRBQ.

-------------------------------------------

This is, for now at least, the last of my forays into “supercut” montages*: 34 minutes of vocal versions of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, followed by a 4:30 instrumental edit as a so-called bonus.  You get Motown, polka, rock, doo-wop, singer-songwriter, Japanese pop, funk, a kind of calypso/bluegrass hybrid, a cappella, blues, and lots more.  

To be honest, “Rudolfiana” is just a bunch of wildly disparate versions of the song all strung together, and as such is pleasant enough, but I think “Reindeer Games” is a pretty good job of editing and a lot of fun to listen to.

The charming cover art was found online. *(See also 2003’s Jingle Hell and 2005’s Nuts:The Nutcracker Variations)

WHO WAS THE MEMPHIS MAFIA ? Part 3) Red West was in charge of security and in later years was involved with some of Elvis music. Occationally Red would leave to pursue acting or music. After 1976 he no longer wocked-for-Eivls. Red has starred in such television programs as "The Wild Wild West," The Black Sheep Squadron, and "The Duke." West contributed to several songs written to Elvis Presley in 1961 and 1962. He received help from Elvis Presley in writing two songs in the early 1960s, which were collaborations: "You'll Be Gone" and "That's Someone You Never Forget". "That's Someone You Never Forget" was the final track on the 1962 album Pot Luck. The song was released as a 45-rpm B-side single in 1967 and was featured on the Artist of the Century compilation. "You'll Be Gone" was featured on the "Girl Happy (album)" as a bonus track. West also co-wrote "If You Think I Don't Need You" with Joey Cooper for the motion picture Viva Las Vegas. He teamed up with Joey Cooper again on "I'm A Fool", which Ricky Nelson recorded.[10] "I'm A Fool" later became a hit for Dino, Desi and Billy, the partnership of Dean-Paul "Dino" Martin, Desi Arnaz Jr., and William "Billy" Hinsche. West also co wrote the song "Separate Ways" with Richard Mainegra for Elvis in 1972 and "If You Talk in Your Sleep" a track from Presley's 1975 album Promised Land. The latter song was written by Red West and Johnny Christopher. Red also wrote "If Every Day Was Like Christmas", recorded by Elvis Presley in 1966. In addition to writing for Elvis, Red also had songs recorded by the likes of Pat Boone, Rick Nelson, Johnny Burnette, Johnny Rivers, Dino, Desi & Billy, Petula Clark, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Andre Kostelanetz and His Orchestra, and Little Milton to name a few. In 1976, West was involved in a series of heavy-handed incidents in Las Vegas with aggressive fans that got out of hand, drawing criticism from the media. More than that, West was becoming more vocal about Presley's drug problem and how he needed help. As a result, West, his cousin Sonny West, and a third bodyguard named David Hebler were fired by Elvis's father, Vernon Presley, who hated most, if not all, of the members of his son's entourage. West subsequently helped write the book Elvis: What Happened?, which was published weeks before Presley's death. The book, according to West in the book, was an attempt to help Presley, but believed by some to be an attempt to retaliate and earn an income after being fired. When Presley was making films in the 1960s in Hollywood, Red West appeared in small roles in sixteen of the star's films. During this time, West became good friends with actor Nick Adams and his physical abilities got him hired on as a stuntman on Adams' television series, The Rebel. From there, West went on to do more stunt work in film as well as developing a career as an actor in a number of motion pictures and on television. He was often on screen as a henchman in the television series The Wild Wild West. West played Master Sergeant Andy Micklin on Baa Baa Black Sheep. He guest starred twice on the CBS hit detective series Magnum, P.I. as different characters, as five different ones on The A-Team, the Knight Rider pilot episode "Knight of the Phoenix", on The Fall Guy, Simon & Simon and in "The Once and Future King", an episode of The Twilight Zone. In 1989 West appeared in the action film Road House with Patrick Swayze as Red Webster, the auto parts store owner. West played the lead role in the 2008 independent film Goodbye Solo as William, an elderly depressed man who befriends a Senegalese man in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.[3] The film received positive reviews and critic Roger Ebert remarked that "West isn't playing himself, but he evokes his character so fully that he might as well be. West's face is a map of hard living". His last film role was in the 2013 film Safe Haven as Roger, an elderly store clerk in Southport, North Carolina West died on July 18, 2017, after developing an aortic aneurysm, at the Baptist Hospital in Memphis. He was 81. His death occurred less than two months after the death of his cousin, actor Sonny West, in May 2017. His funeral and burial at Memorial Park Cemetery was held on July 24 in Memphis
