the audience laughed when bowie said “Ladies and gentlemen, and others.” but the serious look on his face said that he was not joking at all. i love that man.
It’s the Grammys. A high musician is not going to surprise anyone. What’s more it was the 70’s. Craft services probably had a cocaine catering table backstage.
When that last massive line of coke kicks in just as you are about to try and speak as giant cardboard heads descend around you. Super-cool Bowie at the apex of stylishness
the others can be aliens, idiots , clowns , demons or maybe dealers , human beings and others what is so beautiful about it ? Cocaine makes you as cold as ice he was a troubled soul , Bowie was always open about the insanity in LA and Hollywood it almost killed him the drugs and madness like black magic , just look how skinny he is lived on just peppers and milk side effects of cocaine !
0.45 is where my Dad made us turn the channel. He wasn't prepared. Frankly, it's sad how wasted Bowie is here though. I'm so glad he survived that period. Thanks.
....the suit was made by OLA HUDSON....stylist to the stars...BOWIE dated her for quite a while...she is the mother of...Saul Hudson...but the world knows him better as SLASH....from GUNS AND ROSES....
All of them had the look of "If I win I got to go up there and meet that guy, oh lord". It was said that Bowie was very insulted that Aretha made that comment about kissing Bowie, he was trying very hard to become more mainstream and "normal" in the US and he felt that set him back. I remember watching this live back when it was broadcast. This was at the height of Bowie's fling with cocaine, you can really tell too. And when he walked out, those guys in the orchestra pit were looking at each other like "what the hell?". Back then he was considered pretty much like an alien being.
@@LonesomeCowgirl I just looked it up, apparently he did take it that way. Based on how he described it, he said: “I ripped open the envelope and announced, “The winner is Aretha Franklin.” Aretha steps forward, and with not so much as a glance in my direction, snatches the trophy out of my hands and says, “Thank you everybody. I’m so happy I could even kiss David Bowie.” Which she didn’t! And she promptly spun around, swanned off stage right. So I slunk off stage left” Most of what he described didn’t happen the way he says but he gets a free pass because he was a coke addict at the time lol
@@diana3lade470 I had to watch it again and your explanation (or his) makes sense. I had missed her intonation and thought she'd meant it was so good BECAUSE she could kiss David Bowie, which didn't sound like that, but she realized it and added "I mean it in a good way". It was pretty akward, actually, but I think she could have made up for it if she had turned to him before she left and blown him a kiss or actually kissed him...
This man changed the world, and changed me, and changed thousands of 'others', maybe millions.... And this was the best DB, the one who gave us Station to Station. Killer Star!
To be fair, the poor bastard was also on a fad starvation diet of peppers and milk, so I have a feeling that a percentage of this is definitely malnutrition.
0:47 With his first words he had some women in the back just fawning... Honestly can relate tho, especially when he just walks out looking like his skinny fashionable self
Bowie was like an Ambassador from another world, doing service on earth. I wonder what doing that presentation was like from his stoned perspective? It would be cool to experience it from inside his head.
not so cool for the amounts DB took , a specialist showed him an x-ray of an coke addict's brain , the brain had big wholes in it which will never heal ! This is what Bowie said in an interview , wondering about his own brain ! No wonder when you snort big amounts with a stro , you feel it burning in your nose and often starts bleeding by snorting it too often ! Smart move was Berlin with Iggy .....

Well at least he managed to dust himself off, however the sniffing was a dead giveaway! Joking aside the guy survived this horrendous period of addiction and looked ten years younger within a couple of years!
IMHO 'Woman 2 Woman' was clearly the most original and fresh-sounding composition of all the nominees, but Ms. Shirley Brown didn't have nearly the star power and influence of the ONLY Queen of Soul to sway the committee. The bias was real even then. Side comment: While David Bowie was one of the most 'conscious' artists of his day, but he was also high as a freekn kite during this presentation...LMBO!!! Respect and RIP.
It was during this period that he was up for 10 days once. A miracle he made it out alive. John Lennon said he wasn't sure who David was, and meeting him didn't help.
Damn he's clearly coked up here, know exactly how he feels lol But yeah, it's painfully obvious to those who have experimented with the stuff even once "Ladies and gentleman, and others... *sniffs*"
Millie or Shirley should have won - Aretha posessed the most beautiful voice in recording history - but her material wasnt always the best. This was an injustice.
Putting on Sunglasses to read the Winner: Priceless Action from a Rock God !! He looks like from "Interview with a Vampire" looking a bit amnesiac and anemic at the same Time.

It's coke man not serious look...
@@PimtuDaZoeira Hey!.....Agree, coked out of his mind.....
Was he acknowledging the spirits in the room or the non binary people? Or both?
@@DEMfilmsJWalsh LOL
Yeah no he believed in ghosts during the period. He also was open to people being who they are but....
Bowie was quite relaxed that night.
Quite high.
@Raleigh Denton he has admitted that. So thin
I think he was just starting to slide down the hill from the cocaine high, and would want a nap in a half hour. ;-)
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
@@michaelbarnhart2593 At that time he diddn't eat or sleep for days
He was soooooooo high, how did the the organization let him in? But I gotta say: I love this man with all my heart
seriously I love the guy but he keeps sniffing and making that sound with his tounge I wish I was that gorgeous doing coke
@Fred Cliff yes cocain was not a very big deal that time.
@Fred Cliff True. All the executives were as high on coke as the musicians in the 70s!
if the 1970s grammys turned away everyone on cocaine, there'd be fucking no one there
It’s the Grammys. A high musician is not going to surprise anyone. What’s more it was the 70’s. Craft services probably had a cocaine catering table backstage.
"Ladies and gentlemen..., and others" , this person truly was woke way ahead of their time
Away from his head, you mean.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Right?!!
@@real_lampcap yes
He wasn't woke, he genuinely cared.
When that last massive line of coke kicks in just as you are about to try and speak as giant cardboard heads descend around you. Super-cool Bowie at the apex of stylishness
So fucking funny.
😂 giant cardboard heads brilliant observation MW
@@ShineMedia1 Thanks!
So funny
PLSS ☠️☠️☠️😭
That is one of the most stylish things i have ever seen
‘ladies and gentlemen... and others’ a beautiful soul

The moment he spoke...those ladies fainted
Or climaxed.
Someone moaned (and LOUDLY, might I add) just as he was starting to speak 0:50 😆
YESS 😭
0.45 is where my Dad made us turn the channel. He wasn't prepared. Frankly, it's sad how wasted Bowie is here though. I'm so glad he survived that period. Thanks.
Good God! Today's R&B's nominees don't even come close. What a set of nominees! And what an extraordinary presenter. And moment.
Black Star
Honestly surprised he didn't fall over.
ikr, I can't believe he was able to walk ....
I really hope putting on sunglasses to read the winner was an impromptu joke. Genius.
It was hilarious so funny.
David had a very well developed sense of humour. I'm sure it was.
No matter what, David always was in style and on point. This clip showed that. Looking super sharp as always.

@@corneliuswashington-zr2kf slash walked in on them having sex lol
on what point? is he wearing ballet shoes, or becoming a meal? This "on point" nonsense has to stop.

How would that be insulting?
lol ... and then, later that year, he had a no. 1 pop hit (Fame) and became mainstream! 8-D

Diamond Dogs and Ziggy were my favorites
ya unfortunate that all that is good comes to an end
what can I say? the best man ever❤
and my babe
Bowie all jacked up! RIP....
British men are so eloquent and dress superbly! I love him then and live him now in 2021!
"Americans ? .....its so unfair"
I promise you, they aren't. 😆
Bowie was utterly exceptional. X
I really like the way they use cutouts to show the nominees! I wish they still did that, it looks beautiful
Damn, the nominees tho. Everyone deserved that Grammy!
That list blew my mind! Could never have picked just one, and I LOVE Aretha!
Yes, the quality of their songs and their singing!
No
Theese nominees are just BASIC musicians,they did virtuálny nothing
Dont even try to respond
Grammy enthusiasm if fact. SNIFF. Camera later pans to John Lennon looking embarrassed for him.
Those giant cardboard heads coming down and Bowie buzzing his tits off on coke. Damn I love the 70s!
To be fair, the poor bastard was also on a fad starvation diet of peppers and milk, so I have a feeling that a percentage of this is definitely malnutrition.
75 was a gooood year of music!
God she’s beautiful
Such a most gorgeous human being
And the Queen wins again! This Grammy was number 10!!! And let the church say Iman!!! 😘
Never ever was or will be someone amazing like Bowie 👑.
Oh my Davidness ! You kissed Aretha how lucky you're ;)
0:47 With his first words he had some women in the back just fawning... Honestly can relate tho, especially when he just walks out looking like his skinny fashionable self
So hard to watch someone on television, watched by millions, and so obviously drugged up. The rest of his CLEAN life was brilliant!
Le supreme femme noir! Ms Aretha Franklin! Grammy #10 in a row!!!
no , he said in french " ces premières femmes noires " : those first black women
the night john & yoko met bowie !!
so charismatic uhh
" ladies and gentlemen and ..others " ... quel visionnaire !
John and Yoko were the Bey and Jay Z of that era!
David Bowie: grandissimo, unico, inimitabile ❤️🙏
Bowie was like an Ambassador from another world, doing service on earth.

Bowie was not coked up. Cocaine was Bowie'd
You know, I heard a rumor that blood could be found in his cocain stream from this particular day
Ooh, it's all about the drugs. We know, he discussed it so many times in interviews. This kind of comment is just sooooooo old.
John giving a quick look at Yoko, as if to say “ she’s is charmed by him, I am a bit jealous “… David, we love you all 🫦
He says , "I gave it a 'Grammy' enthusiasm, infact"
Alluding to the fact that he had just sniffed a gram of Coke!
Sketchy!!!
😂
Fabulous!
watching this - I cannot breathe!!
okay from Bowie to the list of singers...omg
Those giant cardboard faces are awesome lol. Wonder if they still exist?
a true icon
BOWIE IRREPLACEABLE GENIUS
Two words, *two. words.*
That's all that is needed
Look at the real quality of the nomitated.
Back when Grammy was the real deal.
yess...yess...the noninees...they just gave to Aretha...woman to woman was the song
Grammy was never the real deal. This period in music wss.
One topic and JammiDodger brought me here. But damn.... this man is hot! Love the way he walks....

Bowie's Completely Stoned You Can See It In His Eye's, But Get's Even Better When He Pull's Out His "Reading Glasses"
Of course The Queen Of Soul my girl was going to snag that...she was undefeated from 1969-1975 baby!!
JUST ❤ HIM
I’m convinced he was from either the future or Mars
He was from Mars in the future
David was a genius, but during this era, he was definitely high on the "other drugs"😂
Well at least he managed to dust himself off, however the sniffing was a dead giveaway! Joking aside the guy survived this horrendous period of addiction and looked ten years younger within a couple of years!
Oh god he was so high 💀
King
He was still so in the throws of his addiction but managed to keep it together lol
addiction is no laughing matter he also was an alcholic , he talks about very openly in later interviews ! Btw lol is short for laughing out loud !
IMHO 'Woman 2 Woman' was clearly the most original and fresh-sounding composition of all the nominees, but Ms. Shirley Brown didn't have nearly the star power and influence of the ONLY Queen of Soul to sway the committee.

Agreed. Woman To Woman is def the best song among this bunch.
@ 3:06 Thelma Houston's Song:
I've Got the Devil in Me 🤔🤨😒😡👿👹
omg wow ❤❤❤
High as a kite💕
During this period, David Bowie was not on cocaine. Cocaine was on David Bowie.
😂😂😂
Bowie 😍😍😍
🤩🤩🤩
He said, many times, that he had No recollection of this night, at all ...
It was during this period that he was up for 10 days once. A miracle he made it out alive. John Lennon said he wasn't sure who David was, and meeting him didn't help.
Wow-sounded like Aretha said,”Let the church say IMAN.”🤔
Why Questlove podcast brought me here the look on millie jackson face lol
I was only 10 days years old.
Good Lord! How many nominees were there? They were about to run out of space lol
That's exactly what I was 🤔
I am here after reading about this incident in Luther Vandross' biography
More info on this ?
Thelma Houston looked pissed
Her Song, I've Got the Devil in Me
🤔🤨😒😡👿👹
Rip Bowie❤
“Ladies and gentlemen and others.” I died. 😂
Ladies and gentlemen..., and others" SICK SOCIETY
3:42 uhh I'd die😭💗
😽😺😸😹
so young and he knew
Damn he's clearly coked up here, know exactly how he feels lol
But yeah, it's painfully obvious to those who have experimented with the stuff even once
"Ladies and gentleman, and others... *sniffs*"
My god, that poor man. :(
Aretha DID NOT deserve that Grammy. That song was 2 years old by the time and she didn't have an album out
You saw the QLS episode too, Keisha’s recollection was on point lol
She literally says his future wife's name at the end of her thank you speech! Did she mean to say Amen?
Soooo much class artists. Compare now...😂😂
Millie or Shirley should have won - Aretha posessed the most beautiful voice in recording history - but her material wasnt always the best. This was an injustice.

Surprised, "Woman to Woman was nominated. And I didn't know that song was that old. I thought it came out in the early 80s.
He looks here as a vampire, kids don't do drugs!
Millie Jackson should have received the award
❤❤❤❤❤❤
DAVID BOWIE ARETHA FRANKLIN AND SHIRLEY BROWN HEAD TO HEAD
The artist nominees strangely stared at Bowie LOL
Bc he looked strange.
😂😂😂😂David though.....
superbe bowie!!!
He was so exotic then we were shocked by his exotica
the thin white duke!
and David was as high as a kite...lord no
John was in the audience........
Big ..realy..🐺⚘
I can't believe you spoiled it in the title
Just say No! David.
He was a pound heavier after Coke for dinner.
