He was so handsome...and the hair was just right back then...and the voice was beauuuuuuuutiful!!!!

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME SAMUEL RAMEY WAS ON SESAME STREET?! *dies from sheer awesome* Wow, they really had some amazing cameos/appearances in the classic episodes. I love this!

He sings well and wears costumes well. He's the kind of singer that you actually want to see in those pants.

I loved this clip sooo much over the years and couldn't figure out how to find it on here until NOOOOOOW what a glorious moment!! his voice amazed me as a kid.

I do hope the producers of Sesame Street have preserved all those videotapes. What a historical document of who's who in this time period. Of course, the kiddies don't realize the quality of the guest stars. I remember one time viewing a Sesame Street broadcast that featured Big Bird, guest star poet Maya Angelou and a bunch of kiddies playing ring around the rosy. I wondered if the kids had any concept who they were rosying with?

Fabulous singing from Ramey in his prime!

Just so cute! Samuel Ramey is the DEFINATE Escamillo ( wait, does that name contain TWO ls? ), Watch the Met version and you will know what I mean. Anyways, he is incredibly cute here. I didn't know he likes letter L so much! :)

i love the old school classic sesame street!! :D i hope they will replay the old school classic sesame street episodes!! i'm a FAN!! :D

Samuel has an amazing singer. He did ABC's on here very well too!!!

Ah, thank you so much posting this! I knew it existed, but this is the first time I've seen it. I am a huge Samuel Ramey fan! It's great! :)

Toreador's Song, from "Carmen".

It's from Bizet:Carmen The toreador aria. You Tube is actually a good place to enjoy some good rendition. Try Gino Becchi's version for a full blooded, classic interpretation in both sound and spectacle.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!!

omgggg this makes me so happy : D

I've never seen this before. Thank you. I love it. :)

lol never would have expected this combination. nice :D

I'll admit it... I sang along.

This is so awesome!!!

you know the phrase greatest thing on the planet gets thrown around a little too much these days... but im pretty sure that this truly is the greatest thing ever. DONE

i also sang along too... cos its one of my favourite songs..

Just great. Thanks for posting it.

I love it!

Worship us as gods.

lmao.. the L as the bull was so cute

Thanks for saving me trouble!

1994

I met him too!

Thumbs up G!

You wouldn't happen to have the one where he sings the alphabet, do you?

Bravo Maestro, Bravo! It's right up there with my other favorite Muppet "arias" of all time: Beverly Sills and Placido Domingo both singing with Miss Piggy. a

It sort of struck me - the idea of having a national day dedicated to the letter "L". We'd go around with L's on poles and sing our devotion to the letter L.

My sister met him!!!

great fun. thank gawd for Sesame Street - the best thing on NET. Perlman, YoYo--who didn't help out?

... and LOL begins with L

Judging by Ramey :), it's the end of 80s-beginning of 90s.

LOL

Cute parody, but I could've done without the lyrics on the video.
