All formidable contenders, when the Grammys actually honored talent!
Yes!
when folk actually had talent....,
I remember watching this in '76. I believe it was a live broadcast. Janis Ian performed her nominated song and when she was done the audience just would not stop applauding. Andy Williams was at the podium and whatever it was he said, he had start at least twice because of the continuing applause for Janis Ian. When Miss Ian's name was announced as the winner and the audience rose to their feet, that was the first time I ever saw a standing ovation. I didn't even know there was such a thing as people standing up to applaud for someone else. I turned 15 in 1976. I've remembered that performance and presentation for 44 years and I appreciate being able to see it here once again.
very touching
Beautiful 🥰
I think all of the attention surprised her. She seemed to be at a loss for words. I believe many people thought the song was autobiographical, and she was recalling the pain of her teenage years. And yet it was simply a song she wrote about a newspaper article. While it was beautifully written and sung, it wasn't about her.

Brilliant song. Stiff competition.
Wow. What a great lineup of songs in 1 year.
yup
Simply put...one of the most introspective, heart felt and moving songs ever written.
Well deserved, standing ovation...didn't know she was sooo little, as short as the speech, left people a little dissapointed after that ovation
I remember watching that very program with my mom and dad and family ,we lived in freezing cold Fairbanks Alaska then ,Rest in peace mom and Dad !
At Seventeen was well deserving of that Grammy. Powerful song!
Everyone looked genuinely happy for her, even the other nominees 🥲
Congratulations.. . Great song and singer
The best acceptance speech in the history of awards shows. Great song, too.
The best AND the longest by far!
This speech moved me deeply. Lol
And this song will forever be apart of my life because it brings back so many memories. I too was that curly brown hair girl....
Every nominee was amazing. All of the songs have become classics.
Yes!
I agree!
I wish her acceptance speech was a little longer! That standing ovation was real and much deserved. I think she was overwhelmed by it. She deserved to win because the song requires a skillful singer to make it work. Of course, writing it was another major achievement. Bravo!
YES
Yes, I agree, so young and to beat all those other women, overwhelmed for sure. She looked so cute taking in all that applause
Wow.....Janis beat out some good competition on this one.
She really did
Yes. Those were top of the crop vocalists. That kind of talent just isnt around these days.
1976 was one of those amazing years for music.
@@Thobeian Um...not really overall. But for pop songs the other nominees had great renditions. Janis wrote her own songs.
The mad respect that she received from her peers brought me to tears. They were more thrilled for her and they truly understood the magnitude of the moment!!!!
I remember being so happy for her that night
Back when a Grammy Award actually meant something.
yup! Now it is political kinda like in highschool. If you were an ugly POPULAR KID you just might get MOST HANDSOME or MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED...didn't matter as long as you were popular or...RICH!
I wish someone had more of these
Where can I find More of these
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE Fact.
Yes, and when real talent was recognized.
Janis Ian beautiful & amazing🌹
wow-she was so young-and it is such a great song- go on girl
I have always loved that song, back when music was good.
That's right... I remember that tune over the airwaves often when it came out in 1975... Also when she performed it that night, it got quite the applause!
'At Seventeen', Have You Never Been Mellow', 'You're No Good', the 70's, those were songs deserving of awards, now, today a song with the title "Pull it out! Ama gonna suck ya you sucka" wins the grammy for best song, record and album of the year, oh!, and Best New Artist.
Exactly
Wow, Pete - you nailed it. Sad, but oh so true.
Yes, we've come a long way since 1976. Unfortunately, on a long, slow slide into oblivion. How will we ever extricate ourselves from this?
The Golden Era of Music.. All of them are good!
I grew up listening to them in those years. That's the best of singers and composer and song writers and musicians.. it will never be the same..
Well, kinda seems that way unless a new talent is walking around that we don't know about.
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE when will that be? it's so commercialized now. I mean during those times singers are really struggling and patiently waits until the breaks comes in. Now also politics in the music industry is big. You need an influential person to get to the top too.
That's why Republicans are infulencing the Grammy Awards now. But Joe Biden can fix it and stop the Republicans from influencing the Grammy Awards as well as the Oscars.
No possible way she couldn’t win for they masterpiece
Hmmmmm
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE hmmmm?
@@garyt5582 Janis was up against some formidable competition. I believe she won the Grammy not only because of her talent, but also that the song made such an musical and societal impact on her listening audience. Nowadays? Any mindless no-talent crap can win a Grammy, as long as it's politically correct. 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
Those were all good nominees. At 1:33, you could see Helen Reddy was so happy for Janice...
Yes!
Every one of them deserved an Emmy.
yup
These are the Grammy Awards , not the Emmys .
grammy
um not everyone deserved a grammy….
All the nominees were deserving. Fantastic singers. My pick would be Judy Collins but I do love "At Seventeen."
All the nominations were beautiful songs.
yes
When award shows were pure and simple
The high school wall flower anthem....
yup
I forgot how talent alone could get you nominated. The 70s always seemed more about music than the music business though I'm sure there were a lot of shenanigans behind the scenes.
Wow.....that was some competition.
Yes indeed!
yes, they were all good! It seems gone are those days...
うわ〜、今のグラミーとなんと違うことよ‼️ 上品でナイス‼️ Thank you for uploading!!
glad you like it
She deserved it 😎
Dang, she was up against some power houses in music. And they gave her a standing ovation.
Beautiful Lady and still she is ❤️
I knew she took the Grammy, but I forgot the incredibly stiff competition she faced. Still well deserved for a legendary song that earned that win.
Two of those amazing ladies are now gone. I never see talent like theirs today. No, I just don't.
No I don't either. and one lady in particular is better than these two: KAREN CARPTENTER! How come there are no Karen Carpenters or that type of talent these days?
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE, I know it! Yes! You're totally right! Goodness! Karen's voice was so gentle yet powerful! No one EVER sounded like her. My neighbor played The Carpenters' music recently, and I recalled exactly why I liked it so much. That lady's voice! Karen was phenomenal! I was hearing the gorgeous balled "Superstar."
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE In my opinion, the closest smoothness that ever got compared with Karen Carpenter was Anne Murray's "Broken Hearted Me"
@@valuecalc Karen & her group certainly got their share of well deserved awards.
I would have rated them 1. Janis Ian, 2. Judy Collins, 3 Linda Rhonstadt, 4. Olivia Newton John, 5. Helen Reddy, so I think the best won, but all these songs are better than the CRAP we have today!
Yes!
I would have rated this 1. Linda Ronstadt 2. Judy Collins, 3 Helen Reddy, 4. Janis Ian, 5. Olivia Newton-John. I love all these women, but Linda's nomination was for the entire Heart Like a Wheel album, not for You're No Good. This album is considered a classic and cited by so many contemporary women singers as the album they "learned" to sing to. It was added to the National Registry due to its impact. I wish the Grammy's wouldn't pit an entire album against one song. But, Linda's album is one for the ages.
How can you chose from these legends compare to todays cr#@!
Yeah, it's called rap c##p.....lol...😅😅😅
wow what a year .
There is this... a Beautiful, Amazingly Talented woman who has a level of authenticity that's unmatched and then there is Beyonce who struts around stage dressed in underwear and a bra, willingly doing whatever her controllers tell her to do for money and Fame and in the end when she is gone none of that will be taken with her. Sad!!!!! Truly tragic that this use to be what people aspired to be like and today they want to sing about bs and hoes and this is who young girls look up to today. No wonder our society is lost!!!!! Janis you are a Queen!!!!
And millions will agree with you! Thank you for your true facts, awesome post!!
You go Janis
Proof that great lyricists aren’t always good speech writers.
lol
great acceptance speech by janis
Inspire me to be a better singer and songwriter. I learned all her songs and I have all his song books still today. 1:40
I've always loved this song, probably through having been a somewhat awkward and lonesome teenager myself, while suffering the confusing torments of hormones, just like everybody else. It was only a minor hit in the UK, I think, but it found a persistent place in radio playlists, which is where I found it late one night, several years after its release. I did not know that it won a Grammy, but am delighted to learn of it now. It's such a good song and performance, and a deserving winner, I think, though listening to the list of nominees - to whom I intend no disrespect individually - was a reminder that (white) female artists of that time tended to be confined within a rather narrow musical range. Reading some of the comments here I see that there are some that would have preferred them to stay there. Which ironically is to miss the point of Ms Ian's song.
Oh my Holy God !! 5 amazing female singer / songwriters-- what a year , what a decade. Why have the record companies decided to produce so much junk now. The 70’s were so amazing.
And the best one won that year!
R I p Helen ready
yes
It’s incredible to see five excellent nominations, when today it’s all auto-tuned Barbie dolls that cannot sing.
Exactly
I think Janis Ian is stunning.
you mean vocally.
Absolutely beautiful.
Learned all her songs 17 was the first 1:40
All the nominees were good!
Yes
She beat out a lot of hard-hitters
yup, but unlike so many others, she was kinda like the one hit wonder girl! Look At Barbra Streisand, Olivia Newton John, Karen Carptenter, and a ton more.
@@TRUMPETSIZZLE That may be true in U.S but "Love Is Blind" and "The Other Side Of The Sun" were played in the airwaves till they're black and blue in Europe and Asia during their release!
All 5 Supers!
Tough category with great nominees
yep
候補者の顔ぶれも凄いですが、ジャニス・イアン 納得の受賞ですね。短いスピーチもいい。
Que nostalgia otros tiempos, otras vidas
yup
What was up in 1976?? Such sad songs
Hasn’t anyone told you? The ‘70’s were a bummer decade. And heartbreak always makes for a good song.
Serious competition
yes
It looked like Helen Reddy was tearing up at Janis' win, which is cool. What did Janis mean "it's been a long time?" I read her autobiography. I wasn't interested in her life but somehow it grabbed me. It was a great read.
hmmm
A long time since she was 17, I took it to mean
Janis was something of a child prodigy. If you read her autobiography, you know that she recorded her controversial song “Society’s Child” when she was only 14 and experienced fame and notoriety when it was released during the following year. Even Leonard Bernstein praised her as a talent to watch (his analysis of “Society’s Child”, which is available on UA-cam, is worth watching). Though she continued to put out recordings during the next 10 years, nothing really caught on, and she developed a reputation as a “one-hit wonder”. Her 1975 album “Between the Lines” and its hit single “At Seventeen” were therefore viewed as a comeback-even though she was still relatively young.
JUST ONCE I WA:LKED< THEN CROSSED THE LINE> NEVER FORGET HER< WHY SHE SELECTED PLAIN< SHORT
hmmmm
Shows you the power of LGBT talent!
Miss frizzle
hehe
Amazed Judy Collins didn't win that
she didn't care
Legendary Lesbian Tomlin chosen to announce the award to one of the more recent lesbians to arrive on the scene ...Hmmm, coincidence ?
No more or less a coincidence than all those straights "chosen" to announce awards to the more recent straights to arrive on the scene. FYI, Janis didn't come out as gay until around 1992, so it wasn't widely known that she was a lesbian in 1976. In fact, she married a man in 1978, so maybe it's more accurate to say she's bi. Anyway, who cares?
Mano…very strange on your part
I thought the same thing coincidence I think not!everyone knew Janis Ian was going to win it was a great comeback for her and it a great song that she wrote they pick presenters to give awardsto favored nominees where there is a connection like when dionne warwick presented her first cousin whitney Houston with her first grammy
Worst acceptance speech in history lol
One hit wonder.
Unfortunately
Not exactly. You need to research before typing. She had a hit before "At Seventeen" called "Society's Child". Also a massive hit, much bigger than "At Seventeen" overseas called "Love is Blind." Roberta Flack recorded "Jesse" which was top ten. She's a songwriter before she's a performer and has had a colorful, prolific and enduring career. I believe she's still performing (or will be, once the pandemic eases).
Society's Child brought tears my eyes the first time I heard it. Incredibly moving. Janis has released 23 albums since 1967. I can reccomend Between The Lines. She has a new album coming out soon. Her first line of new albums in over a decade.
She won another Grammy after that. How many Grammies you got?
@@crowntown7 I agree with you but she basically has always had a cult following and her songwriting was good but so predictable all these sad songs about sad women I like her but her albums with Columbia records all sounded the same
Something tells me she would have gladly traded the Grammy to look like Olivia.
o
or to have been normal and not a man hater causing her to be one of the "flatter shoe" population!
Well, it’s really about perception. She definitely doesn’t have a “ravaged face”. While beautiful, not everyone wants to look like Olivia. Janis had her own style. IMHO, with a little makeover, she”d might have surprised people.
Really. I don't get that impression at all. Looks fade fast. Talent is enduring.
Depends on what you like janis is a sexy Jewish woman it's in the eye of the beholder I find Olivia's bland blond Anglo Saxon look unappealing
@Jeffrey Suggs I also love Helen Reddy one of my favorite songs by her is nice to be around from the film cinderella liberty her delicate sensitive phrasing still knocks me out and her completely original style of singing what more can I say
