How is it possible that I NEVER heard of this guy and I am 81 years old? He is terrific!
Agree - I was a kid in the 70s but a total fanatic for impressions, The Tonight Show and the telethon -
I thought the same thing! I guess because I don't go to Vegas?
Same here, and I'm 60
Same here, I've never been to the USA so I've missed out, don't think his act reached the UK. Pity.
Same …lol..I’m. 55 …
This youtube algorithm is crazy August 2022 is the 1st time I've heard of this man
No kidding, here we are. Experiencing this marvel. I’m mesmerized.
December 2022 for me
Don't mind me. I'm just passing ...🐌
🤣 agree
Same
I'm 10,000 years old but somehow haven't heard of this guy.
Way to keep it going
@@thrill2020🥰
My parents were very good friends with Bob and his wife back in the Vegas days. Not only was he an incredible talent, he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in show business. He often had dinner at my parents house, and we saw him often.
As you mentioned a show biz guy he's it, to have him visit you at your home must of been astoundingly great ,he should be paid what the people he impersonated as much and more, not one perfection, but many for memories sake. Amen ,did he do Elves, great and heart felt special.
That is a COOL story to share!
Santa did Elves, he was a perv.@@miguelalvarado2343
What happened ???
@@miguelalvarado2343he did Santa and the Elves
He doesn't just imitate their voices, he really takes on their whole beingness, thus the great performances.
Maybe he decided to just be a great performer but not sell his soul to the devil.
I dont think beingness is a word....
Most impsressionists do the same things , they get into character
@@brendanwebster4674 Perhaps he doesn't know the word persona.
@@brendanwebster4674 Maybe it’s just an impression of a word? 😉
I'm 899 years old and I'm never heard of this talented guy before, it's fantastic!
I’m a year younger than you and I’ve never heard of him either. He’s amazing
Make 900?
😅
😂😂😂😂😂899
What's your secret to living past 800 years¿😅
I'm 127 years old and have never heard of this guy before. Incredible talent.
I'm more impressed by that age than this guy.
Me too. 127. Wow!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣You're old enough to be my son😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Do you drink a glass of red wine everyday ?
Wow!!! Congratulations to have attained so many years! 🎉
Rumor has it that no one has ever heard of this dude. At any age!
I had not until now. Man, what a talent. (boomer here)
Never heard of him as well but I'm into classic rock and always have been at 61.
As far as I can tell not even Bob Anderson has heard of Bob Anderson
I DON'T KNOW WHOSE RUMOR IT IS. I am really not dead. You see....I am trying to keep my music to myself. But if you want to see who I am go to - BOB ANDERSON.COM- and you can read and see who I was and still am, with a hole bunch of major stars just sitting with me on the stages in Las Vegas. You can also read about who I am and what I have done in the music world. Wouldn't that be cool. Thanks dogface
@@BobAndersonMusic don't take it personally sir. Trolls looking for a reaction will do anything to get your ire. I didn't know about you till this video, and I'm glad I found it! All that hard work was clearly worth it. Incredible stuff!
My dog is 6 years old and he's known about Bob Anderson since 1972.
Smart dog.
awesome line mate 😂 😂 😂
This guy is brilliant, but you have be a person of a certain age and know the people he is impersonating to truly appreciate just how brilliant he is.
I’m curious to know what “certain age” range you’re thinking of, and if I fall into it. 😅 His impressions are spot on!
I don't know why you have to be a certain age. It's just knowing some the greats.
@@upgradde1977 ; Maybe folks born before 1970 or so, would appreciate this the most.
Lol, boomer.
I am not of a certain age but still know the people he's impersonating. Good music has no age
I'm 63 and I never heard of this guy. He's incredible!
People go their entire lives without ever hearing a sarangi being played live. They melt away if they are ever so fortunate.
I’m 70 and I don’t know why I never saw this guy on TV or heard about him anywhere until this video popped up - but WOW - he was an excellent performer and I really enjoyed seeing and hearing his talent.
I'm 74. Same thing! I can't believe I never heard of this guy.
Yeah I'm 72 never seen him.
72 here and unknown to me as well. But I can do a perfect Pee Wee Herman. heh heh
He's got a bad agent..no publicity 😮
His expressions are incredible !!!!
And that voice ! Wow 👏👏😘
How come Bob Anderson is not widely known or even famous? Wonderful singer and an amazing impressionist.
He's here in vegas.
He was BIG in Vegas from the mid-seventies to the mid-eighties.
@@rc5chi539 Yeah but let's talk facts. He was never mainstream. Why? He was on Carson, that should have been enough. He was loved by other celebrities, in particular some of the ones he imitated. But you never heard Sinatra mention him. Something must have happened to Bob along the way. He made enemies. Or got lost in drugs. Or was simply unlucky because Rich Little reached superstardom and this guy did not.
Reminds me of the late, great Danny Gans. Their acts were different, but so talented as singing impressionists.
I'm gonna research him. Just found this on 8/28/22.
Amazing guy!
Absolutely astounding. I ran karaoke for almost 2 years and I'll tell you now, people attempted these songs A LOT, and failed A LOT. This guy is unreal! I think we found the lost member of the rat pack!
I never saw karaoke as a place to impersonate artists but to sing their songs because I loved them so much
I could never do them justice
Where did you run the kareoke? Why did you stop?
@@nickevershedmusic8927 Fort Collins, CO. I stopped for a couple reasons, mostly at the time it was just a side gig and my main job no longer allowed the time to do both. I bought some equipment to get back into it for myself (worked for a company prior) and my now ex gf basically stole it all. It’s all in a storage unit in Colorado lol fml
Great comment jack. A LOT.
@@whitsundaydreaming that’s jackASS to you
I read the title and rolled my eyes. I watched the video and now I am eating humble pie! He is absolutely the most spot on vocal impressionist i have ever heard! This is NOT clickbait! WOW !
Im not born yet and i have never heard of this guy before , He's so talented
😂 got me
Not born yet..... I like it.
His Sinatra voice is perfect. His Sammy had me amazed before he sang a single note!
His Bennett is also UNBELIEVABLE.
But his Dean Martin …nope
@@ruenovo His Dean is good!
Sinatra is his best I agree.
@@ruenovo Agree, and Sammy either.
This guy is a phenomenal talent. I’m in my late sixties and for some reason never heard of him til NOW. Amazing.
70 next month and same, never heard of...how can it even be?!
I will be 69, same, never heard of this great performer, closed your eyes & you think it was the original performer singing, unbelievable how we have not heard of this man.
I'm 67 and never heard of him either
@@dlm2133 me too...and I'm 71!
Same here!
Now that’s pure talent. No auto tune
Never heard of this great imitator. Sammy Davis was phenomenal, Engelbert, very good, Tom Jones, great, Tony Bennett, utterly impossible, Wayne Newton, excellent, Dean Martin, sensational.
I'm a singer and I impersonate lots of singers, these don't seem that hard to do, all your longe singers, sinatra, Martin etc had a really small range, do freddy mercury then I'll be impressed
@valley_robot Talk is cheap why don't you do a vid of yourself doing Freddie Mercury and then we'll be impressed
He somehow manages to morph his face into looking exactly like the man he imitates absolute genius
Yes, even @2:37 exactly, when he's ending the song "I Left my Heart in San Francisco", he does that Tony Bennett smiling expression spot on.
The impressions are very good. But I'm impressed by how strong a singer he is in his own right.
You have to be to take on these guys!
When he sang a Sinatra, i was amazed. This guy not only has extraordinary impressionist skills, he also has great vocal technique.
This man has bought tears to my eyes...the songs he sung were the tunes my dad used to sing around the house circa the 70s...my dad has been gone 15 years now and if I close my eyes I can still see him smiling down on me as he sings them..thankyou Mr Anderson
@@SimonLloydGuitar yes google appreciates it
Welcome my friend. I hope we get to meet sometime and I would like to hear your son sometime.
All the rest...God bless you.
@@BobAndersonMusicWho were you doing on She Believes in Me? Didn't sound like Kenny Rogers but it was really wonderful!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm betting your Dad knows all of the great songs that were played for years at his years. My goal is to keep the music from that time still be happening till the world is gone. God bless you
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I'm a fan of everybody he impersonates, how could I not have known about this ?
You took the words right out of my mouth. I never heard or seen this guy either. I knew everyone he impersonated except for the guy at the very end...it took me a long while to figure it out...it was Paul Anka. If I am wrong, please let me know.
Me neither.
I agree I’m dumbfounded! Never heard of him and he terrific especially his Frank Sinatra! 🤦🏻
same here
Where has this amazing talent been hiding from us all? Never heard of his brilliance before now!
I as well... just now for the 1st time on August 28, 2022, at 730pm & I've seen many of these fabulous vocalists 'Bob Anderson does 'performing in Las Vegas Show Rooms & singing in LA Jazz supper clubs & at LA's Greek Theatre, etc... for decades
I never heard of him, but I watched the shows he is performing on in this video. I spent years in Las Vegas during that era. How is that possible?
I grew up in the era when these guys he mimicks we're popular and I don't remember this guy 🙄
@@oldgoat50, Danny Gans was phenomenal!
Ditto, I’ve never heard of this guy nor seen him on any show, telethon etc….and of course what ever happened to him?!?
Never knew this guy existed......thanks CZcams. What talent. Imagine him doing todays music and nailing it.
Bob Anderson was huge. He was respected by every top singer.
The way he turns that Tom Jones face on is remarkable..
He is a very nice guy. He and his wife Karen were at my sister's wedding in 1976. Kind of before he hit it big. I was fortunate to get to see him 30 years later in Branson, MO. He has not let stardom change him. His show on Frank Sinatra was outstanding. Brilliant talent. Love to Bob and Karen.
I’m 66 today, and I am so thankful that I was raised on this music (and big band)! Thanks to my parents, despite being a true blue rock gal, I absolutely L❤️VE this music! And how could I be this old and just discovering this amazing singer/impersonator?
Many many more happy returns..
Sending love from London 👍
What about the Righteous Brothers?
My exact reaction. I took am 66 and grew up with this sound. I just don't make them like this anymore. The guy is great.
Simply the BEST Sinatra impersonation I've ever heard. He's hard to do, and Bob nailed it!
His Dean was spot on too!
He missed most of the others. he is NOT a good singer. Period.
@@davidg4595 Seriously? The guy is bloody good!
@@davidg4595you are not a good liar. But you are a damn good fool.
I will say again. mike yarwood could do every singer . With his Sinatra Davis and Dean Martin.
What a flashback to an era of true talent and entertainment.
This performance is BEYOND BELIEF. Bob Anderson not only has the voices, he even LOOKS like the stars he impersonates!
year he really looked like sammy davis jr and frank sinatra in the dark and tom jones that was the worst welsh accent i have ever heard
@@user-ub8bh8fe2n very.nice
He's a shape shifter he really changes 😂
Hes not that good if you had a ear for music you can tell he just a sound alike but have heard much better
@@user-ub8bh8fe2n Tom doesn't sing in a Welsh accent anyway
I am 70 & happy to have had the opportunity to watch this.
2023 . . . just hearing of this phenomenal talent⁉️ And it appears he’s been around forever . . . Danny Thomas, Jerry Lewis, Wayne Newton. Today’s late-night shows wouldn’t have him on and there aren’t any variety shows these days. Shame.
I'm so glad to been born in the time that even an impressionist could sing much better than 75% of currently singers
His voice is a real treat let alone the personations
Well said.
I agree with you sir and I was born in the '80's
More like 99.9%
There's a lot of talent out there nowadays. Relax old timer, you're not that special
Puts me right back into my living room in the 60’s. Sitting on the floor in front of the tv. Knotty pine paneled walls and Early American furniture. Makes me miss my parents. ♥️
I felt that same feeling, I wanted to show it to my mom and miss her and my dad..I was just a kid and always heard my parents listening to "This is The Music of your Life"' national broadcast on the local radio affiliate...
I was in my 30s when I really begin to appreciated the talent in that music and had it set between all the rock and rap stations on my car stereo hoping none of my friends came across the preset.. I'm sure I had to be one of the only people in Sacramento switching back and forth from Dean Martin to Pantera to Jack Jones8 to Anthrax.. it was a sad day in 2004 when KCTC changed its format to political talk...
Awesome
I’m serious. Is there a memorable aroma with your memories ?
@@tommywingate2220 Not with this one but certain smells do often bring back a memory. Example - the smell of pine takes me right back to college in East Texas. Pine tree forests there.
Makes me miss the good old days
Wow! This guy is insanely talented! 😮 His ability to credibly impersonate so many very different iconic voices and mannerisms is simply unreal.
His "Sammy" reminds me of Bruno Mars, lol 😆 💯🎶
Simply beautiful vocalist and impressionist!!!
Wow! This guy is insanely talented! 😮 His ability tọ credibly impersonate so many very different iconic voices and mannerisms is simply unreal.
I don't think people can fully grasp just want amazing vocal technique, what command of the instrument, it takes to do what he is doing. His own natural voice is truly remarkable and on par with every performer he emulated.
Hey Man....thank you so much for those extreamly nice comments. I have been singing for quite a number of years. I got to know all of the artists that I impersonate. I was the last guy to make it to the Las Vegas Strip before the entertainment business changed. I had my own room at the Dunes Hotel and performed their for 12 years. I became friends with all of those people I do. I was a singer first and never did any impressions until Merv Griffin heard me sing a couple at this home one evening and from that day on I was known as "the singing impressionist" Merv Wrote my act. From that day forward I started doing the Johnny Carson Tonight Show, Jerry Lewis, David Letterman, Mike Douglas, and all the others. I don't know your name, but I would like you to pull up on your computer ... bobanderson.com ........ and you will see what I'm talking about. Thanks again. All the best.
@@BobAndersonMusic Wow. What an honor. People just need to appreciate what extraordinary effort goes into creating the vocal gesture. In your case, it's near miraculous. It's unfathomable how you are able to replicate their unique placements and resonances. I can't believe that I have never come across you before in nearly 70 years. Looking forward to viewing your website.
@@BobAndersonMusic never heard of you either...but, you are an absolute phenomenal talent!...do you still sing?...you are amazing man
@@BobAndersonMusic I saw your show last December at Carnegie Hall here in New York City. I also saw almost 900 "live" Frank Sinatra concerts from the 1970's to the 1990's in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Reno and New York City at Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall. Jilly Rizzo once introduced me to someone as "one of our best followers." I am soooo impressed at what a fabulous job you did in re-creating Frank Sinatra's show, his singing and his mannerisms -- you even got the correct shoulder dip in "I've Got the World on a String." I just loved your performance. Very well done!
@@cathynewyork7918 WOWW..900?!💪
Wow, Bob doesn't just impersonate them, he transforms into them! The look, mannerisms, voice, phrasing, pitch, etc. This is truly astounding! Plus, his own voice is wonderful! Amazing talent!
I can't believe I've never heard of this guy before! You sir are brilliant!
This man don't even need all those impressions. Dude himself is a beast. Love Frank's impression!
Like all of you I have never seen or heard of him until just today in 2023, and blown away absolute perfection an amazing talent.. since 90% of comments are from people who haven't heard of him, do you think perhaps Sinatra being the bully he was, took issue with Bob's spot on impression of him and made sure he never had the national recognition that he deserves? Also has anyone ever heard Bobs natural singing voice?
@@danielomalley8454 In this video, the last song is him singing as himself.
Great where is he now 2023
This was the golden era in music, so sad it’s long gone.
Not gone, just different.
@@tA_aT287 No, gone.
@@tA_aT287 hahahaha, I like good morning jokes.
It’s not gone. Thank CZcams for keeping it alive forever. I can share it with my grandkids. How great is that. It’s great that music is always evolving otherwise we would get bored with the same ol stuff. It makes you appreciate your youth. .

Biography - Bob Anderson
He has been voted “Best Entertainer” in Las Vegas six times and has been inducted into Casino Legends Hall of Fame and The Las Vegas Entertainer's Hall of Fame.
Congrats indeed🇱🇷
Short book
Very talented man!!! When men were men!! I saw him in the 70s and he's gotta be in his 80s now.
Deservedly so....
Imagine how hard it would’ve been back then to “study” the singers he’s impersonating. It’s not like he could just type their name in CZcams and look at clips.
It’s called records, dumbass
yes what a talent and hard worker, without any gades 👏
Come on, we didn't live in caves. We could see and hear those singers everywhere. TV, movies, shows, record albums, tapes.
I am [CURRENT_AGE] and I've never heard of this man before. Incredible talent!
I'm with everyone else here. How is it I have never seen this guy? I watched Johnny Carson religiously and I missed him every time? He is astoundingly accurate. He doesn't just sound like the actual artist, he LOOKS like them too. The mouth position, the little body jiggles, the facial expression. He must have spent half a lifetime in front of the mirror. Incredible student of these great singers, he should be called a tribute singer. What a talent! Bravo.
lol some people just have a mind like that, that notices and can easily mimick little details
JR...thanks for the kind words. I spent a lot of time just listing to all the great artists I grew up listening to. Thats how I learned to sing. Just trying to sound as close as I could to them hoping I would learn how to be a good singer. I guess it kinda paid off and I thank you and everyone else for all the kind words. I worked the Las Vegas strip for 32 years straight. I became friends with all the artists I impersonate. Thanks again. If you want to really see who I am, go to ....bobanderson.com...
I will be on the Celebrity Silhouette for 10 nights starting April 10th. Oh, do I wish you would be one of the entertainers.
@@BobAndersonMusic wow. Can't believe you actually replied. You deserve the praise. I am a professional singer, so Believe me, I understand what all that entails. I sing in a completely different arena, but the rigors of.learning and sound are the same. I am a countertenor (male alto). I have sung in Men and Boys choirs for the better part of 45 years. Nothing like playing Vegas, but I have "played" at many big Cathedrals, lol. The imitations you grew up to learning to sing reminded me of listening to big bands and imitating Sinatra, or my favorite Vaughn Monroe. Unfortunately, those types of singers/songs have mostly gone by the wayside. Anyway, thanks for responding. I did very much enjoy your act, and again bravo at the results. Best I've ever seen!
Oh my God He's the voice I wonder if he can do Elvis Nobody else has been able to do Elvis
I had not heard of Bob before. As a Briton I can tell you he gets Tom Jones’ speaking voice spot on, usually impressionists exaggerate his Welsh accent but Bob doesn’t need to, he can hear it and replicate it exactly. His Sinatra is indistinguishable from the original and his Sammy Davis Jr, he doesn’t even need to sing, the posture alone is brilliant.
Tom Jones hell no !
@@CBHDK59 dont agree charlie boyo! I think Tom was well done!
Me neither. Thought I would have..
@@DrMoorehen
You have to understand, tom jones isn't difficult because he had a singular tone.
@@DrMoorehen
Sinatra too, a singular tone.
This guy NAILS that tone.
Amazing
Im 66 and never heard of him, with the talent he has he should have been a household name, fantastic voice, to sound and sing as well as the singers he impersonates....I'm totally impressed.
Great job Mr. Anderson...bravo..!!
Hey Frank....thanks a lot for your kind words. I really do appreciate your words. I do the impressions of the great performers, and I also sing as my self. I have two new albums that will be out in one more week
I hope you check it out. I will be placing it on You tube tomorrow under Bob Anderson. If you want to check out some of my words just go to .....BobAnderson.com
@@BobAndersonMusic....you do have a great voice..!!

I’m 68 years old and remember all these giants of entertainment. It saddens me that most folks under 60 have no clue who these pioneers were.
This man is phenomenally talented.... why don't they have talent like this anymore?
They who?
@@christianlibrul who do you think? It's obvious she's talking about impersonators that can sing famous singers songs! I would like to point out to her Arianna Grands impersonations of various artists! She's really talented
@@christianlibrul "They" and "them" are overused Americanisms for anyone. "They don't make cookies like this anymore" doesn't mean the factory or bakery or people who bake; it just means in general, this is something that no longer exists." I couldn't think of a better example, sorry.
I know. Right?
nowadays, @Cynthia Rothschild, the media and Hollywood do not give talents like this the prominence they deserve. REGULAR appreciate it!!
No idea why this has popped up as I had never heard of this guy, but what a fantastic performer 😮
i know, right - amazing
I 154 years old and I never heard of this guy - he's outstanding...
I met Bob Anderson in 1995 when I was performing in a production of Guys & Dolls with Jack Jones, Maureen McGovern and another brilliant impersonator in the late great Frank Gorshin. Bob was playing in the lounge of the Desert Inn and Frank introduced me to him, and have been friends ever since. I've seen him perform probably one hundred times, he never disappoints.
Doing Tony Orlando and Wayne Newton right in front them was just fantastic.
Damn … never heard of him until now … what a talent !!!!
Yeah me too
@Anthony Luisi Yeah where has this guy been I never heard of him before.
@@jazzpianoman01 How did i not ever hear of this guy.
Me too. 👑 of Entertainment. Super fantastic ❗️
I'm in a world of songs 🎤🎵 eversince I was tiny. But how come I've never heard of him, Bob Anderson. Love him. He's such a great singer too besides being great impressionist. Sending him love, light and more blessings 🙌
Man, you are GREAT. This was an absolute pleasure to watch. I've been a NYC wedding singer for 35 years. I've been performing covers for years and years. You are the unmitigated best I have ever heard. Thank you. Paul Rich
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I'm 70 and just found Bob. I'd pay to see his show. Amazing talent.
The point is this man has the most magnificent singing voice in his own right. What a pair of pipes.
Thank you so much.
Why isn't their talent like this on TV anymore wow was my generation so blessed to witness such great talent this guy brings back great memories he is so spot on with Sinatra his impressions are just jaw-dropping.
The talent is there. But there’s just not tv like this anymore. What’s more I doubt that you could get more than three people in a club. To watch your impersonation of 2 Chains, or Snoop Doggy.or any of the rest that pass for music.
Partly because music has changed and voices got stronger in the 80's. Now most of it is digitized. If you hear your favorite performer singing live now you'd be disappointed. It's putting a hot face and body on stage to dance and lip sinc.
I have never heard of or seen this exceptionally talented man. He is gorgeously respectful of the super stars he mimics. Terriffffic
Hello Jane
How are you doing today?
As a crooner myself I truly admire your talent and wish I had performed with you in your prime. Thanks for all these wonderful moments. You are truly a great singer and should be given my credit for your God blessed talent. ..
He is definitely an old-school performer. His impressions are spot on, but he sings "as himself" exceedingly well!
Have to admit this is the first time I've heard of Bob Anderson, however, this guy knows his stuff. The vocals are the best I've heard, but him getting the mannerisms down is a cut above. Enjoyed this better than most things on CZcams!
agreed, same. and i love this
He is spot on emulating Mr. Frank Sinatra!
I just found Bob tonight youtube recommendations, what a class act! Bravo Bob Anderson.
Y⁸⁰
Yes, the Sammy Davis Jr.!
Why did he never get a recording contract ???...He is a killer singer !!!!
Harry....I ask myself that question all the time. I have no idea other than the fact that a very well known television star named Merv Griffin turned me into an impressionist at a very young age and my act as an impressionist became a big hit. In no time I was performing on Merv Griffin show, Mike Douglas, Jerry Lewis, David Letterman, Johnny Carson and many other tv appearances around the world. I am going to be putting quite a number of songs that I sang for many years, some that I wrote and others that were well know songs of other stars who made them famous. But, today I am going to start putting them on You Tube and other places on line. I hope you take a look at them and tell me what you think. God bless....
Bob Anderson
Who did John Lennon say controls the music industry?
I wanna see a biopic where this man is played by matthew mcconaughey
Bob Anderson did a show I went to last December 11, 2021 at Carnegie Hall in New York City --he did Frank Sinatra's entire typical Las Vegas act, including some of Sinatra's most famous monologue jokes. It was marvelous! I have been to hundreds of "live" Frank Sinatra concerts in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York City - believe me, this Bob Anderson just nailed it perfectly!
"one more for the road" 90 minutes non stop...when the show ran at the palazzo in Vegas it won best headline...best live performance a best live show.....i think his 32 piece orchestra is part of the keys to the success...they are awesome.
I was going to look him up to see if he was still around…thank you for posting he is!
@@davediamond7228 Yes, I agree!
@@joesagliani6501 Thank you for your reply.
How many Pavarotti or even Mario Lanza impressionists have you heard ?? Sinatra / Bennett / Martin - not that difficult to emulate imo . ,( I've done it )!
I have never heard anyone imitating Tom Jones, to be honest I thought that was impossible. This guy is beyond belief. Amazing!👏👏👏
The best Tom Jones impressionist is Sam Sarono. Check him out.
Aiden did Tom Jones in sex and the city
@@ernestogalura97 WOW bro, you are 💯% right. I looked it up, and I was blown away! Unbelievable!
Joe longthorne
Have a listen to Glen Leon from the UK, he will blow you away 😉
My all time favorite Las Vegas act. Whether it b Dean Martin and Ray Charles singing Sleigh Ride as a duet or Johnny Mathis singing Over The Weekend, Bob Anderson nails every nuance of every performer. It goes without saying, that as himself, he is a fantastic vocalist. Genius.
I’m in my 50s and I’ve never heard of this guy until 2024.. 😄
I was lucky to see Bob's show at the Top of the Dunes in the early 80's...One of the best live shows I've ever seen.
Hereing these clips....i could well believe it!
With all respect, you must be mistaken . You never heard of this gentleman.
I’m so embarrassed that I never knew who this artist was. He’s absolutely phenomenal. Must have been a big Vegas act that was kept in Vegas.
What no one knows is that Bob was wounded in Vietnam as a LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) He is an incredible singer and entertainer respected by the greatest singers of our time. He is a beautiful brother and war hero as well. He deserves my respect and the respect of the 4th. Infantry Division. Love you Bob. Congratulations brother !
Thank you so very much man. God bless you my friend....
I don't know how old I am because I 'm in a nursing home but liking this discovery for me. He's touching on songs my mom listened to.
Bob Anderson should have been and should be a household name in the field of entertainment, WHAT A PHENOMENAL TALENT.🎼🎤🎼
Not only does he sound like these singers (his Tony Bennett and Tom Jones are spot on), BUT, he also has a GREAT voice. A+.
Oh my goodness! Never heard of this guy. He is phenomenal.
Wow ,I must've been living under a rock, never heard of this artist, he's great !!! ,powerful pipes too !!! ,excellent performance!
The best darn impressionist I've ever heard, how is it I've never heard of this guy?
He has a great voice on his own right!!
Brings back memories of the music that was in our house when I was much younger. Makes me miss my parents, grandparents, and brother so much more!!
I’ve realized how sad life is lately. Cherish those memories
Your first sentence reminds me of my own observation: Most really good Elvis impersonators would be good singers in their own right.
My family would be gathered around the TV in the living room to see Mitch Miller, Ed Sullivan, Bonanza, & The Wonderful World of Disney on a Sunday evening. It was our longest time spent together during a normal week.
GOOD TIMES & Memories ;'--)
@@JayTemple As Elvis would say: "Thank-youuuu verrrrry muccch."
My heart went out to you Dana. Make sure you know Jesus so you can see the author of love, the friend who sticks closer than a brother. God bless
I worked vegas in 80s I do 40 voices opened for rodney and joan rivers Bob the best sing voices ever big fan god bless ❤ 315
Wow, this Man is "Amazing!" He can impersonate some of the Greatest Classical Singers, I grew up listening to. Totally love his Show. 🥰 ❤️🎵 🙋♀️👏🏼👏🏼
I first saw/heard him as a teen and figured: "I can do that! Well, not exactly, but I sang for pay during 30 years until; a stroke took my singing voice Gosh, I miss the music in my life! I can't sing or play because my voice and left hand are gone...
I'm watching this in awe. How did I go so long without seeing this amazing performer? On the other hand, my high school students would be completely confused since they'd recognize none of the singers he so brilliantly channels.
The only one I didn't recognize was in the "She Believes in Me" clip.
@@jacklow9611 I am pretty sure he is doing Tom Jones in that one as well.
@@hepdehootie : That's possible, but I thought that song was most famously done by Kris Kristofferson., although the actions were more reminiscent of Tom Jones.

You might want to surprise your class with "I got a special surprise for today's class, its called time machine." Greatness is greatness, talent and music is timeless. With the recent movie Elvis with Tom Hanks and Austin Butler, Ray with Jamie Fox, Walk the line with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, there are many young people who are discovering the greats of the past.
I’m flabbergasted. His Sinatra was perfect and I’m just amazed!
It wasn't perfect but it was close.
Best ever ever seen ..had gone in the other room and thought it had gone onto a Sinatra video
I do not remember this guy! Fantastic! He is right on with so many of those voices! AND he CAN SING!
I mean. I couldn’t stop watching this. Unbelievable one person can sing like this .. on top of it all he is adorable looking.
WTF ..this guy is awesome- his impressions are without doubt first class …can you imagine someone trying to impersonate the singers of today ..it would not work ..singer's of the by gone years ..were just that singers …thank god for memories …and of course you tube.
I am completely befuddled by the fact that at the age of 69, I just stumbled upon this amazing talent TONIGHT while perusing playlists on You Tube! How is this possible?
@@cindymcintosh286 There has to be a reason he was not mainstream. He pissed people off, or got caught up in drugs ... something, and I hope I'm wrong. Sinatra never mentioned him, neither did others. He was on Carson that should have been his ticket to superstardom, but it wasn't. Now we need to find out why without the sugarcoating
@@624radicalham Sometimes the subject of an impression does not like it, especially if it is too close to reality. Rich Little did a great Nixon, but the real Nixon was not amused when Little did it in his presence. Little did a perfect Johnny Carson on Carson's show. That was Little's last appearance on the Tonight show. Little never understood why.
Never heard of Bob Anderson until today. All those Merv Griffins shows, Mike Douglas shows, Dean Martin shows, and never saw this guy. He's amazing.
He is the absolute best!!!! Love him and let’s just commend him for his own vocal talent
Came across this completely by accident, never heard of this incredibly talented man but wow, just wow!
Sinatra's breath control and phrasing is very difficult, which makes this all the more remarkable.
Sinatra had phrasing like a trumpet. Very unusual.

This guy is amazing!!! I think he must have been in a parallel universe. I thought I knew all impersonators back in the day. So many people are saying they've never heard of him. Definitely this is a Mandela effect.
I agree.....I remember Rich Little being considered the best back then....I would have heard of this guy but I never have.....this is the twilight Zone...❓❓❓❓❓
Very strange indeed
Totally!!!
Took the words right out of my mouth!
I can't remember if I'm 33 or 34 but I'm sittin here slappin my knee cause I can't believe I've never heard of this guy before!
Wow. You are amazing Mr. Anderson!!
Hello Maria
How are you doing today?
This guy is incredible! This is not the music I listen to, but you can’t deny greatness here!
How have I not discovered the great Bob Anderson until now!
That's exactly what I thought!
This guy is fantastic, first time I’ve heard him 😮
Yes, the time of GREAT singers to be IMITATED. Bravo, fantastic stuff that brings back such great memories!
Wow! Even before he sang a note, his Sammy Davis Jr. impression just floored me! Everybody knew who he was right away!
