Peter Noone was the lead singer for Herman's Hermits (Still is , but a different version of the group.) , he recorded a version of "Oh , You Pretty Things", with Bowie's assistance.

He also hosted "VH1 - My Genration" . I just thought the guy talking sounded like Noone , is all.

[milradio1]

Excellent interview. Thanks for sharing.

[DJSamKing]

I must say ''I never thought I would see this again'' Many thanks to everyone involved in bringing thiis tape back from the vaults !!! I SAW IT 1st TIME ROUND !! At the time people who missed it didnt believe that it was totally live. Now i know i didnt imagine seeing it !!

[pfordsq]

I was dead certain that was Peter Noone , until Henshall greets him as "Marvin" (?).

@pfordsq What are you on that you remember Noone.Who he what hits did he have.

[carterUSM1961]

Best version ever of this song. Release it.........!!!!!!

Loved watching the performance on ToTP2 and again on the bbc news later.

They are showing it ob ToTP2 again on xmas eve!!!

[brido8]

@carterUSM1961 Yeh I agree

[brendanolear]

Have waited almost 40 years to see this again. Remember being knocked out with this first time round, though had obviously forgotten how good it actually sounded. Bowie was at his peak at this point in Jan 73, he seemed to have been in the States forever before returning to re-start the UK tours in Jan and this was the welcome back moment for all the UK fans..

[LOW1711]

@brendanolear BEST TWO SHOWS EVER WAS ... NY FEB 14th and 15th 1973 .. then Detroirt March 1st .. that was the peak !

[jcw001]

[Ljotulfson]

Although 'Starman' had me curious about Bowie, it was this screening of 'Jean Genie' on TOTP 3rd January 1973 that made me a lifelong fan. This is wonderful news and brings back a lot of great memories of the wonderful year!

[racyweb]

great to hear at long last.. can't wait to actually see the performance!

[transeuropa]

Awesome !! Thanks for posting this historic 'lost' gem.
