Sam Milby

Sam Milby's version of "And I Love You So" updates Perry Como's soothing version of it. But in some ways, Sam does more to the song, particularly because Sam also plays the guitar accompaniment of his version.  Sam looks good singing and playing that guitar in his music-video of the song, from which the still-shot above is taken. Indeed, this Filipino American from Troy, Ohio has come a long way.  He still tries to maintain the American accent in the way he speaks English during interviews and other television programs.  But having stayed in the Philippines since his Pinoy Big Brother days has somewhat eroded that accent.  However, this erosion is not necessarily a liability, just a marginal aspect in Sam Milby the person;  in fact, that  may help underline or enhance his intimacy with fans. The Sam Milby body, voice, face, and personality continues to be a highly desirable commercial package, something he, his agents, promoters, and publicists can maneuver properly for  future Sam Milby hit movies, television programs, and music albums.
