At her most recent performance at PGA West, she was amazed at how many people wanted to talk about her career. “I’ve never really been the type of person to go around and “toot my own horn“ as they say,” chuckled Linn, “However, I decided to start off my last show with a few questions and they all asked about my career, which I really appreciated.”
Linn was very fortunate to be around when “movies were movies” having opportunities in acting at age 3, and “Vegas was Vegas“ performing in some of the best night clubs around and singers in a Big Band were given the opportunity to sing some of the most beautiful music of the day. “We performed in some of the best night clubs around; The Copacabana in New York; Mocambo and Ciro’s and Moulin Rouge in California and The Eden Roc in Miami and so many others.”
Eventually this talented performer was introduced and became one of the featured singers in the popular Lawrence Welk Show on television. She is known as the First Television Champagne Lady, however, her talents extend beyond an icon of the Television Golden Age.
Soon after leaving the Welk show, Linn co-starred at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas under the musical direction of Nelson Riddle, choreographed by Charlie O’Curren, with gowns designed by Edith Head. The performance received rave reviews which led to a very successful career as a recording artist, singer, dancer, actress and emcee on stage, radio, screen and TV. Nominated five years in a row, her own television show, Roberta Linn’s “Cafe Continental”, won her an Emmy, as the outstanding female performer of the year.
She has performed with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jack Benny, Sammy Davis, Jr., Bing Crosby, Danny Thomas, Bob Hope, Clint Eastwood, Chill Wills and Mala Powers, to name a few, but her rendition of “I Love Paris”, performed when she co-starred with Ricardo Montalban in the revival of Can Can, was so exceptional that standing ovations were a regular occurrence.
“Pianist Bob Corwin has a wonderful Trio for the show. Danny Flahive is on the bass with Gary Whitesides, who is my favorite drummer and has been performing with me for years. I am so fortunate to have such talented musicians behind me.”
“I enjoy hearing people tell me they remember seeing me at The Sands. I am very grateful to be performing at my age, and am very appreciative to the fans who are still interested in knowing more about my career.”
When asked about how she chose the name of her show, she replied, “It came to me and I thought it was nice. ‘I’m Here Again,’ still performing, and bringing happiness to people. I feel very blessed. This is one of the joys of being a performer.”
