Raquel Welch Different Drum 

Raquel has just passed..my heart is smashed to pieces!!!

I saw her do this at Ubon, Thailand in 1967. Same song, same outfit. She had our attention.

Raquel took time out of her career to entertain our men in Vietnam. She volunteered. No one ever got paid when they went to perform for our troops. Can you imagine the excitement for these guys to have a beautiful American woman sing and dance for them?

The Troops LOVED it. At thr end of the day, who cares what the naysayers will say. She tried, and succeeded at making thousands of our troops happy. Great Job, Raquel !

What a great piece for a time capsule. White go-go boots, teased up hair, mini skirt and side shuffle dancing.

She was a patriotic morale booster in the extreme.

She was/still is beautiful.

Raquel Welch did a great job of boosting moral for the men serving in Vietnam. Reminded them of what they were fighting for!

RIP - Beautiful Raquel Welch

Such a gorgeous woman, bless her for entertaining our troops! R.I.P. Jo Raquel Welch.

Raquel, thank you for your service!

As a veteran who has actually been to a similar type of show, the modern pin ups got nothing on Raquel's moves in this video. Damn fine, woman, damn fine

She is one awesome lady..ALWAYS has been..Beauty and Class...A lost combo nowadays.

Kudos to Raquel. She was gorgeous and a real patriot.

Wow....I never knew she could do that! Pretty darn good.

I love how she makes it into her own style! I love her version of it too.

Somehow I just love this performance ❤

Terrible war with so much insanity driving it and involved in its prosecution and confused aims; but for those acting on genuine patriotism and commitment to their friends, there’s a unique honor to have been through such a crucible. When Raquel Welsh performs for this group, you know it is among the pinnacles (if not the very very peak) of her career to be before and bring uplift and morale boost to such an audience. So much of our lives (entertainers’ lives in particular) is frivolity; you know that moments like this boosts one to something bigger than life, as non-frivolous as it gets for such an artist. I’m sure she an others entertaining for the USO regard and remember it as the experience of a lifetime.

That was awesome!! What a great booste for those troops. Raquel was a gorgeous women may she RIL

Breaks my heart she passed away

A surprisingly decent enough singing voice, combined with some passable dance moves, along with her fantastic looks makes for an entertaining minute and 47 seconds!

What a good performance. A great legacy from a iconic woman.

Shouldn’t we have more Raquels who believe in the RED WHITE and BLUE !! Bob Hope and the gang gave their all for our heroes every Christmas 🎄 !! God bless them all !!! Well done 👍

Gorgeous raquel

A fun video. A gorgeous woman singing a classic song.

I´m tired of reading impolite comments about Raquel´s singing. She had a good singing voice and sang well. Her musical specials for TV were very successful. Cut the crap, please. Raquel, God bless you !!!

Major bonus points for repertoire. Covering a Michael Nesmith composition is always a plus.

RIP , what an icon 😊

I think people here are being far too harsh about her singing and dancing ability. Apart from the fact that she's volunteered to entertain the troops when she was never a singer, she didn't have long to rehearse and wasn't working with a professional choreographer. If, like me, you'd come here after listening to Linda Ronstadt singing this song, and had no idea if Raquel could sing, you might be more pleasantly surprised. She sounds quite like Linda and does a good job of what is a difficult song to sing. As for her dance moves, what she does in this is a type of dancing that was fashionable at the time except that she has to try to do it moving sideways to give the guys at both ends of the stage a fair chance to see her. That kind of 'groovy' dancing is usually done on the spot. The fact that she's out of breath is also a pretty weak criticism since, again, she was never a professional singer. Her profession was 'looking good' and 'speaking in front of a camera'. Nor was she an athlete of any kind. So of course she's likely to be out of breath. It's an impromptu performace, and she did a fine job. Most people wouldn't have had the guts to get out there to perform, much less be any better.

She wonderful she gave her all for the troops bravo sweetie

She moves her arms plenty in this performance!

I love this! Classic!

Multi talented you will be missed ...

Tip of the hat to Ms. Welch and to the late great Michael Nesmith

USO show for the troops fighting a war. Under the circumstances and conditions to work with Raquel did great!

What a talent. I hope Michael Nesmith got his royalty check for this..

♥awesomely adorable♥ ..by the looks on the men's faces, she was just what they needed♥;-)

I never realized that Raquel Welch had such a good voice!

RIP Raquel

Raquel's moves make up for her singing abilities, and then some. I love Mrs. Welch, in fact I named my daughter after her. All I'm sayin' is Linda Ronstadt would have approved of Raquel doing a sort of "cover" of her hit song with the Stone Poneys.

What a great person, she’d do anything to support the troops.

The best. All natural beauty . ❤❤

Love you Raquel. Rest in Peace.

Raquel Welch could really sing. She was definitely my fantasy babe when adolescence 1st hit! I remember her in 1,000,000 BC and Fantastic Voyage. She STILL looks great in my humble opinion!

God bless the USO! Always 'in country' but I heard such great things. I would have loved to have seen this routine!

Rest in peace .

awesome

Stunningly beautiful, classy, and smart - In other words, the perfect woman.

Rocky, thank you for entertaining our boys!

Actually thought she was the original singer of this song, had to look it up.. however she did a good job.. They must of loved loved her..

I LOVE this

The defination of a natural beauty...........I don't wanna be the one to tell her that she can't sing.

My all time fine as wine woman!

she still looks good at 81!

Fantastic video! Different Drum is one of my favourite Pop songs but by Linda Rondstadt! However this is the most entertaining just like she was. RIP Mike Nesmith, the songwriter who first sang this song in 1963 as a Bluegrass song.

Man I still love Raquel..

Best part of this video is the "Gol' Dang...lookee them thar thangs!" reaction of the soldiers.

REST IN PEACE RAQUEL WELCH

The finest example of feminine beauty to grace the planet...

Bang the drum slowly. I love her even more after watching this performance.

OMG! She is the best!

Best skirt of the 20th century

She is the Greatest.

Bless her

I love the USO.

Wow 😮 just love Rachel

She still looks beautiful now

I remember watching this as a kid before the hormones kicked in and it wasn't until years later that I realized who this beauty was that I said Wow! What a treat for our troops.

God bless her for going to Nam to do this

this is actually a bit better than i thought it would be

There's something refreshing and genuine about a performer being out of breath.....in contrast with the lip syncing controversies of today. Also....there's something refreshing and genuine about Raquel Welch!!!!

one of the most gorgeous women ever still beautiful now.

Those moves

I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU (C)2006 I WAS JUST SEVENTEEN. YOU WERE JUST A MOVIE QUEEN . AND I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE. I JUST KNOW YOU AS A SUPERSTAR. AND THERE'S NO ONE ELSE QUITE LIKE YOU. YOU DRIVE A MERCEDES-BENZ. I SUPPOSE YOU'VE GOT LOTS OF FRIENDS. WHO SAY THEY'D LOVE TO LOVE YOU. BUT OUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE. OH MY LADY CAN"T YOU SEE? THAT I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU. I WAS TAKEN BY YOUR POWER. A LONG LONG TIME AGO. FROM WHICH THERE'S NO ESCAPE. WHICH LIVES NO PLACE TO GO. SO I 'M TRAPPED WITHIN YOUR EYES. CAPTURED BY YOUR SMILE. SURROUNDED BY YOUR REAF. WHICH EXTENDS SO MANY MILES. I WAS JUST SEVENTEEN. YOU WERE JUST A MOVIE QUEEN. AND I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU. These are the words of an original song. To listen to this song, Google. james monahan, I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU.

They're cheering for those huge natural knocks!

SAD THINGS IS MOST OF THESE YOUNG MEN NEVER CAME BACK BUT AT LEAST THEY DIED HAPPY😭😭😭

Love this

I like the way she moves, and that counts too.

OUCH, BUT BEAUTIFUL.

The sexiest woman of all time!

Goddess!!!!

What a wonderful women

She should have sang these boots are made for walkin'

Somehow, I just can’t imagine Taylor Swift, Rihanna or any one of todays younger “Superstars” entertaining our troops for free…

1967 Cam Rahn Bay Viet Nam, I was in the crowd and saw this tour. First time I saw a girls naked leg in two years

Mike Nesmith from The Monkees wrote this song for Linda Ronstadt.. This song is a good match for Raquel's voice. A lot of long notes to sing while dancing around, amazing.

That's what you call a bombshell!

Screen legend Raquel Welch has died at the age of 82. Welch’s family told TMZ she died on the morning of Wednesday, February 15, 2023 after a short illness. Her exact cause of death was not disclosed as of this time Welch rose to fame in the 1960s with TV roles on Bewitched, The Virginian, and McHale’s Navy. Her star rose higher with the 1966 films Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C., and she went on to became a major sex symbol of the decade and beyond.

Frickin halarious!

Having Raquel sing was actually an undercover ploy by the Army. If any soldier was heard to say, "OMG that girl is SO out of tune!" they would know he was gay.

Such a unique beauty. But well, it’s kinda sad thinking that these men having fun, were probably dead after a few days...

This what happens when you combine a bad lounge singer with a goddess.

Well Bob Hope, I can assure you the troops were more excited to see Raquel than you.

she is one of the most beautiful women in the world

Quite the Scarsdale Surprise...

Rest in Peace Raquel

There’s only one LInda Ronstadt. And there’s only one Raquel Welch. The Universe is fine with that.

Well for starters she was gorgeous , now moving on to singing Nah she couldn't sing .moving on to Dancing Nah she definitely couldn't Dance , moving on to Acting Nah she couldn't act .This women definitely got by on her Looks alone

I like music.

I love her
