It was upon hearing Ian singing Child In Time that Lloyd Webber and Rice knew they had their Jesus. Amazing to think that the entire album, with all those singers and instrumentalists, was recorded in around two weeks. They wanted Ian him to do the stage show and three years later the film, but Ian explained that it would mean Deep Purple would have to be put on hold, losing them hundreds of thousands of pounds. His fee alone for the months of filming the film was less than he could make from one Purple gig. Ian set the template for the role of Jesus, everyone that followed him had to attempt his screams. Some did better than others, but no one had that great tone he had when he screamed, which always makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. Overall, we forget that Ian wasn't a trained singer or actor and did an incredible job.

@alericksonof1967 Год назад

Very true and it would not be surprising if they had also heard Deep Purple’s Hallelujah ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rk6VYN31v2U.html along with Child in Time these 2 songs feel like the parents of Gethsemane - Take care

I respectfully disagree. He did do a great job of the song but nobody will ever match (let alone surpass) Ted Neeley's version from the motion picture. The way he hits the high notes is absolutely incredible and his entire performance of the song is unforgettable!

@@montanus777I would offer that Ian sang it as a rock concept album, not a musical. That was how he was produced by ALW. It only went to Broadway and then film after the album was a hit. He could have easily sang it more like dialog (Ted Neely) if that was the producer’s intent.

I was 7 when this album came out. My uncle had it and was playing it when we visited. He let me take it to my room and play it on a portable record player. That was all I did for our entire visit. I memorized it in it's entirety. I got the album for Christmas that year. Fast forward 30 years and I'm in the car with my boyfriend, he is playing Deep Purple. As I'm listening to the song, my brain was scrambling to figure out why the singers voice was so familiar to me, why it was raising different emotions in me than the song called for and why it felt like I was listening through a child's mind. After a few minutes, I found the mental file that held Jesus Christ Super Star. I screamed, 'It's Jesus!' My boyfriend looked at me like I had 4 heads and asked if I'd lost my mind. I explained that that was the voice from the album, he was quite annoyed that I would suggest that one of his idols would stoop to play Jesus, lol. The second we got home, I pulled out my CD and found Ian Gillan in the credits. I then asked my boyfriend who was singing in the Deep Purple song...Ian Gillan...shocking, lol. Take that, HA! I think he still hasn't forgiven Ian, lol. I on the other hand have nothing but praise for his amazing vocals and for those who had the insight to recognize that only Ian could bring the depth and passion required to give humanity to part he played. All other renditions, whilst brilliant in their own right, cannot compare to Ian Gillan.

Gillan recorded this in a matter of hours. All the other versions are based on his original performance because they HAVE TO BE. Webber & Rice allowed Gillan to create this title role in his image. Gillan had much to do with the initial huge international success of the original album. This piece of the opera might be the greatest & most influential single vocal performance in rock history.

I never tire of hearing Gillan’s version of this song, years and hundreds of listens since so bought the tape (and later CD) in college. But watching Gillan bring Elizabeth to the brink of tears now, brought me to the brink of tears also, and that’s never happened before. The emotional power of a perfect song, right there. I wish they had filmed this cast performing the concept album, even if it was just them standing on the stage (like a dramatic reading of a play) and not moving around in character. Gillan, Murray Head and Yvonne Elliman singing together on stage would have been electric.

@delorangeade Год назад

I think, what sets Ian Gillan apart from all others who have sung this, is that he isn't giving a "performance," there is no audience or expectation surrounding what he does. So it feels very internal, intimate, sincere and spontaneous. Everyone else who came afterwards is unavoidably self-conscious because they will already be aware of the song, and the significance of Jesus Christ Superstar. Ian Gillan went into the studio with no such pre-conceptions.

@rickandgen Год назад

Child in Time was basically Ian’s audition for this part. Meaning that once Andrew Loyd Webber heard that performance he knew he wanted him cast as Jesus.

@blakkat4126 Год назад

Ian Gillan was the original "Jesus" in JCS. Although many followed, none could equal his interpretation of a troubled Jesus who is agonizing over his fate. Ian Gillan is where it all came from. And the original Jesus Christ Superstar from 1970 is by far the best version. The vocals by Ian, Murray Head, Yvonne Elliman, etc, the rock music, primarily played by Joe Cocker's Grease Band...all done by kids in their 20s at the time. To me, this is mind boggling. Try listening to "Heaven on their Minds" by the singer Murray Head as "Judas" sometime. That whole album was a masterpiece.

@MrJest2 Год назад

That shift Ian made, between the kind of total collapse of his own will, and the line "God, thy will is hard..." to this day sends chills up my spine. I've listened to this original recording probably well into three digits (my parents bought that "Brown Album" set, that has the graphical images displayed in the video, the year it first came out - before the official stage production was even launched) over the years. And it *still* "hits me in the feels" as it were. Probably one of the absolute highlights of Gillian's professional career, even if a lot of people who bought the initial run of records didn't quite understand that at the time.

@Philip Chilvers Deep Purple were reaching the peak of their popularity at that time, and the band was under a lot of pressure to be in the studio and on the road, so the organisation was not going to be very keen on Gillan taking a break to go off on a solo project. It's just not what you do, unless you've reached a point in your career where such whims can afford to be indulged. Records say, Deep Purple played 224 shows across 1971-72, and were on the road while the film was being shot, in addition to writing and recording. Besides which, other than the few hours he spent on the original recording, Gillan has shown no interest at all in Jesus Christ Superstar, or any wish to revisit it.

Lady Elizabeth's reaction just amplifies the overall feeling. For myself I must confess the whole opera I consider a masterpiece. But the most emotional and personal piece out of it is "Poor Jerusalem" for my liking. I don't know why is it so.

My parents had this album in our living room and I fell in love with it in, like, 2nd grade, lol! It MAY be one of the first "rock" experiences for me. "Gethsemane" was my very favorite song on it. Later, in Jr. High or High School,. when I *ACTUALLY* became a rock fan, it blew my mind learning that the vocalist for my beloved Deep Purple was the same singer I'd been "worshipping" (the pun must be forgiven) all those previous years. I still thrill to this and other songs from this masterpiece.

Got to sing with Ian after winning the national Vocal contest to be with him in Vegas in 2006. My hero as a singer growing up and an even better human being when we got to hang. This was my favorite song of his. He still rips it out on stage.

That note: "whyyyyy ", slays me everytime. NOBODY does it better. Nobody. It's like a gift from God. It's stupendeous! I don't have words. And that's why, to me, no other version compares to this version. Sorry. I enjoyed your analysis. From a fellow enthusiast, you are right on target! You recognize greatness in theathre and the greatness and genius in the voice of Ian Gillian. I always come back to this song as a masterpeice of theathre. The right time and the right place. Andrew Lloyd Weber is someone whom I would love to invite out to dinner and sit down and have some serious chats with! The musical , It's so beyond the writers and the singer. And I can't even imagine the process that brouoght this isnger into the voice of Jesus. It's a gift to us all and I am so thankful that I live in a day and time that God has granted to us. To see so many great things that others have not thought of in ages, in all their wildest dreams, in terms of art and voice. I truly am appreciative to God.

There is so much about this song in my life. I've been listening to it since I was born, as my parents always had a recording. My grandparents listened to it for the first time on Christmas 1971 in the USSR in the dark room in the museum-house of a Russian painter Polenov, where his grandson brought the recording from abroad. We always listen to it with my mom when we drive back from the church on Easter night, it's a tradition. And I can play it on the guitar and sing together with my uncle, who gave me a libretto of JCSS when I was six, which helped me to learn English to a large extent.

The raw talent for him to be played the songs, then go directly into the studio, lay down the vocal tracks for the whole album in three hours. Ian said he was told they wanted him to sing it the way he felt and improvise like he does in Deep Purple. He said it was easy because everything was so well written it was very intuitive for him.

I bought the double album when it came out - yes, I'm that old - and fell in love with Ian Gillan's voice immediately. Also, fell in love with the sepia line drawing of Gillan included with the other participants, including Weber & Rice, that are inside the libretto. I went to see the show a year later and was very disappointed that he wasn't there, but the show was great, anyway, with Ted Neely. It was, literally, years before I saw so much as a still picture of Gillan (it took me a while to find Deep Purple - I was more into folk than rock). I still listen to Superstar. Murray Head was great, too, by the way, as Judas, as was most of the cast. Oh, Yvonne Elliman was in the live production I saw. She may have been the only one of the original performers from the album to be in that show. One interesting thing about the performance I saw was that the performers all stood on risers at the side of the stage, and were dressed in hippie-ish Street clothes - jeans and such - and, as best as I recall, the performers involved in each song came down to center stage and sort of acted out their parts as they sang. There's the drawing!!!! Thanks for showing it! Wow! Great show. I've been waiting for one of you kids to get to this. Thanks

It's so much fun to see how long I can hold it while I sing along.

If you like Ian Gillan's voice, you should maybe give Deep Purple's live album "Made in Japan" a listen.

The version of Child in Time on it is hands down the best rendition he ever sung.

In Ian's voice I can hear the full gamut of emotions that are so vividly portrayed in the Gospels. This song and performance to me are utter perfection! Lastly, and it's a minor quibble, but Ian's last name is pronounced Gillan, not Gillian. It's an easy mistake, and one I made frequently when I first started listening to Deep Purple back in the 70's. I Love your analysis and your accompanying videos by-the-way!
