"One was born in Brooklyn, and the other comes to us from the British Isles, but when it comes to music, they both speak the same language." Yeah, English! Brain-dead speech writers.
couple of drunks I say that with respect and humor i bet yah they both got really drunk after this they harry loved to party and so did ringo and they loved to get drunk and stuff together they were close friends .my only regret about harrys life is he did the typical turn your back on the people that openened the first doors for them after meeting the beatles for the first time and staying at john lennons house he came back a changed man and then fired his first producer , just my opinion
Did you hear those names announced??? Billy Paul, Ray Charles, Joe Tex, Curtis Mayfield? Remember when black music led the way for the whole pop world, instead of being a vulgar embarassment as it mostly is today?
@SlappyFrankenstein Well to be fair, Gangster culture had something important to say about the state of American ghettos. Considering that, I can't help but think of it as art no matter how vulgar and graphic it was. However since the mainstreaming of this culture it is now currently about hoes and bling; therefore it has been bastardized like most genres of music by selling itself out.
@SlappyFrankenstein The only reason I disagree w/ you is b/c today's 'black music' still captivates the majority of people. But that was a rather well done assessment.
"Ringo" fans.... In honor of Ringo's 70th, I hope U will check out my "RINGO"video. It's very retro with Beatleish touches & was done as a labor of love and with the utmost respect for the Fabs. My attempt at putting a little bit of the Beatle spirit out there for Beatle fans. It's also my tribute to George Harrison's slide playing as well as Ringo's unique style.

Maybe it pissed off the contestants then, but they probably look back with a smile now. That was really funny, and I loved the way they came on, too! Hilarious!
Well, I love Curtis Mayfield's music, during this superfly period, but on a song to song basis, Freddy's dead was not as good as Me and Mrs Jones. Put M&MJ up against Superfly the song, The Pusherman, or Diamonds in The Back, and I would have said no contest.
M&MJ has a really nice smokey feeling to it, and the horns and vocals really caption a vibe. But it is a slow love song. Put it up against a down and dirty ghetto street songs, and most people will go with the love song.
Awards shows are notorious for the lame jokes. There is a clip of John Lennon and Paul Simon and Andy Williams doing a lame bit at a Grammy's show. They don't even hide the fact that it is lame either.
Harry Nilsson and Ringo Starr always have made a great team! I wish I could have attended the Grammy Awards in 1973 but I was only 9 years old. Thank you so much for posting this video! Peace & Love, Tina
YES! I love the way Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson are dressed. It looks like Harry is wearing a sequin bow-tie and Ringo Starr looks so handsome! Richard has always been a sharp dressed man!!! Thanks for posting this video. Peace & Love, Tina
2:13 Harry and David start shuving Ringo off stage! lol

I think that their comedy act added a nice touch to the Grammys myself. A few people in the Audience were laughing!
I know you see it differently than I do.
