Subject: Classic 'We Are the World' impression

Written By: whistledog on 03/29/08 at 6:48 pm

This still makes me laugh.  In 1985, Quebec born impressionist André-Phillipe Gagnon did a rendition of the classic 'We Are the World' where he did an impression of everyone who sang a solo part on the song.  His Springsteen and Bob Dylan impressions are spot on ;D

That is incredible stuff, Jason. The ones I picked out were Willie Nelson, Ray Charles and Bruce Springsteen - they were uncanny.

Is this impressionist still around? I haven't heard of him before.

Caught a clip of Andre Philippe Gagnon on some old TV Comedy special the other night, so I thought I'd revive this thread.

Found this on YouTube:
Gagnon's American TV debut:  The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson

His Diana Ross and Dionne Warwick impressions crack me up ;D

To my knowledge he is yes

He is still around, I saw an Interview with him just a couple of months ago when he was in Vancouver doing a show.
Funny man.
