@MarkAnderson-vg5vq, If ever my church holds a worship/praise musical , I'm gonna choose this cool song for my act, but kinda change up the lyrics( To "God loves ya Honey", also, "After a while you might take that abuse and convince yourself to stay loose and then one day, Satan will throw you away and say you're good for nobody's including God's use" ).
I started off listening to this song because I thought it was hilariously bad, but it's been 2 years and I know every word. I love this damn song. Damn you, Telly Savalas....
A great actor and fine singer who took the world by storm with a singular catchphrase - "Who Loves Ya, Baby?", made popular on the long-running crime drama on which Telly Savalas starred: "Kojak" - which ran on CBS-TV from 1973 until 1978. It's also during this time that Tootsie Roll Pops sales skyrocketed. A great actor and singer who left us 27 years ago (January 22nd, 1994). Bravo and R.I.P., Telly Savalas. We love ya and still miss ya, baby! :'(
I'm a child of the seventies and I grew up on Kojak....I even wanted to be bald when I was all grown up! ....Who loves ya baby? , I Love Ya Baby !! God Speed Telly....
@ian1patterson cobaltmidnightoilamp6748 is just being modest when he says it's ok. What he means is, he doesn't care if there's grey in your hair; the fact you have hair is just great!
@96Iscpower18, I can imagine my PRICELESS 😆 reaction to seeing a deep wine red '71 Caddo Coupe De Ville with this tune blasting from its car stereo I mean, it would make for the neatest and funny Superbowl Sunday commercial.😆😂
Nice to hear that. Could you tell me anymore details. I would love to find out about the personality of one of Americas finest actors, that we never knew so much about
Lucky Man meeting him.I would step over "Hot Coals" bare footed to meet him...infact I would step over my Grandmother lol Sorry Dear Nana loves but Baby lol
@@jamescurran9086 was a low level gangster on the old The Untouchables series, and played an assassin turned monk on two episodes of The Equalizer (Woodward, not Washington)
Growing up so fast with no father figure Italian and Greek being I still wearing botany 500. Plus when I had nowhere to go being on lockdown.When I see Kojak on TV even the hardest inmates let me watch Kojak.
Loved Kojak so much that I Bought the entire series 5 yrs So I played it at my convenience. Great actor, singer (USA) did not Give him a chance to sing was hoping Nick Savalas will pick up acting Does looked like Telly a lot. Loved You Telly. Fr L, A. çA USA
Not a fan of Hip hop but I think this might be the closest thing to early hip being a teenager in the 70's no one heard of hip hop now 65 still can't figure out rap music
Telly Savalas - Who Loves Ya Baby? (Baby Baby, won't you tell me - Tell me what I wanna know) (Baby Baby, won't you tell me - Tell me what I wanna know) When the world starts to kick you around And you find yourself flat on the ground Well it's a sure one-to-five There'll be someone to jive ya And try to keep bringing you down. And for a while you might take that abuse And convince yourself to stay loose Then one day he'll throw you away And say you're good for nobody's use. But then I'll come your way Turn your blackest night into day When you're needin' it bad 'cause of flop-times you've had I'm gonna look at you and I'm gonna say "Who loves ya, baby!" (Who loves ya baby) By now you oughtta know (Who loves ya baby) Well I can't always let it show (Who loves ya baby) By now you really oughtta know (Who loves ya baby, who loves ya) This is one thing I don't wanna blow. Baby Baby, won't you tell me - Tell me what I wanna know Baby Baby, won't you tell me - Tell me what I wanna know If you wake up one day feeling ugly Thinkin' you're 10 or 12 pounds overweight Well just know I don't care If there's grey in your hair If there's hair at all I think that's great! Now this carnival life that we're ridin' Gives no-one the room to start hidin' So I don't wanna hear That you've turned a deaf ear To my words, and started back-slidin' Cause then I'll come your way Turn your blackest night into day When you're needin' it bad 'cause of flop-times you've had I'm gonna look you straight in the eye, baby, and I'm gonna say "Who loves ya, baby!" (Who loves ya baby) By now you really oughtta know (Who loves ya baby, who loves ya) This is one thing I don't wanna blow. Baby Baby, won't you tell me - Tell me what I wanna know Baby Baby, won't you tell me - Tell me what I wanna know Baby Baby, Won't you tell me who loves you Baby tell me what I wanna know (Who loves you, baby) (Who loves you, baby) (Who loves you, baby) Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby Who loves ya I'm the one!
Can’t imagine how many couples were doing some severe body pounding to this love tune. Then had some Love Unlimited Orchestra, then it was baby making time.
when the world starts to kick you around and you find yourself flat on the ground well it’s a sure one-to-five there’ll be someone to jive ya and try to keep bringing you down. and for a while you might take that abuse and convince yourself to stay loose then one day he’ll throw you away and say you’re good for n-body’s use. but then i’ll come your way turn your blackest night into day when you’re needin’ it bad ’cause of flop-times you’ve had i’m gonna look at you and i’m gonna say “who loves ya, baby!” (who loves ya baby) by now you oughtta know (who loves ya baby) well i can’t always let it show (who loves ya baby) by now you really oughtta know (who loves ya baby, who loves ya) this is one thing i don’t wanna blow. baby baby, won’t you tell me - tell me what i wanna know baby baby, won’t you tell me - tell me what i wanna know if you wake up one day feeling ugly thinkin’ you’re 10 or 12 pounds overweight well just know i don’t care if there’s grey in your hair if there’s hair at all i think that’s great! now this carnival life that we’re ridin’ gives no-one the room to start hidin’ so i don’t wanna hear that you’ve turned a deaf ear to my words, and started back-slidin’ cause then i’ll come your way turn your blackest night into day when you’re needin’ it bad ’cause of flop-times you’ve had i’m gonna look you straight in the eye, baby, and i’m gonna say “who loves ya, baby!” (who loves ya baby) by now you really oughtta know (who loves ya baby, who loves ya) this is one thing i don’t wanna blow. baby baby, won’t you tell me - tell me what i wanna know baby baby, won’t you tell me - tell me what i wanna know baby baby, won’t you tell me who loves you baby tell me what i wanna know (who loves you, baby) (who loves you, baby) (who loves you, baby) baby, baby, baby, baby who loves ya i’m the one!
Telly Savalas was a rapper before rap music even existed. He's certainly not a singer... Absolutely beyond belief - only in the 1970s could this song have been written and recorded. It sounds more like The Players Club version of Telly than Kojak, but regardless, it's an unheralded classic, and Telly was a true VIP.
I always said the same thing. Vin Diesel has the bald head and the deep voice like Kojak. I'm just sayin.. I'm black and I was upset when they did a series remake with Ving Rhames. How do you cast a black man as Kojak? What!!!! He was Greek! I'm still scratching my head on that. Terrible
Its called non traditional ir colorblind casting but Im not sure the part was written specifically for a white actor. Plus the Greeks have gotten plenty innovations, ideologies, philisophies and intimacies from Afrikaans. By the way by your standard thet couldn't cast Vin Diesel either. I would think youd be pissee that they sucked the life and cool out of Kojak. Classics should never be touched.
I am sorry but you have no idea... Study further the ancient greek culture and say that again. What exactly did the Greeks take from the Africans? I am not underestimating the African culture but you are talking about two very different cultures.
Almost as bad as Leonard Nimoy or Will Shatner singing!!!!! Just because someone is a popular actor doesn't mean they should automatically try their hand at singing!!!!
