Sam Kinison singing "Are You Lonesome Tonight"




The late stand-up stalwart Mr. Kinison takes a famous Elvis Presley ballad and puts his own special spin on the tune...you might detect a little more dissatisfaction with a past romantic realtionship in this one than the original. This is from a "Tonight Show" appearance in 1989.

  1. I love Sam Kinison's humor. I remember when I first saw him in "Back to School" and he is screamimg at Rodney Dangerfield. It was a classic scene. Thank you for reminding me

  2. Glad you brought that movie up--I had forgotten Sam was in that one. That was a great vehicle for Dangerfield.

  3. lol His voice was pretty good...I heard some tapes of him when he was a fundamentalist preacher...ranting and raving, a lot like his comedy. He was a complex, intense person
