Marianne Faithful looks such a beautiful, tragic shipwreck, as if lost somewhere without any hope of getting the love she's singing about. Her eyes flash once towards the camera - and look totally vulnerable. Bowie survived the same druggie world by keeping a sense of humour apparently. Look at the way he shakes his - what's he wearing? - black angel wings on his chest? He's gotta be sending himself up. Wearing the costumes they're wearing, what ELSE could they be doing? An odd time that was.
@zephyrquartz there is a lot to analyse about this performance but its is CAMP beyond words and still with a tongue in thier cheeks Bowie and Marianne play it to the hilt.
She is Marianne Faithful, formerly Mick Jagger's girlfriend (and a singing star in her own right). This clip is from a late seventies "Midnight Special" called "The 1980 Floor Show." This song carries several levels of irony, from the obvious parody of "The Sonny and Cher Show" that ended weekly with "I Got You Babe, to the subtler reference of Bowie's alleged affair with Mick Jagger.
Sumptuous is the word !
Magique, non ? Transformer un tube niais de Sonny & Cher en cette merveille...

I remember watching the original in 73 and thinking how odd the times were. Yet, in retrospect, how innocent.

It's definitely not late 70's. 73 or 74 at the latest...and where's the reference to an affair with Mick Jagger?
