There needs to be a full documentry about this.........

I love this video for the footage at the end, which captures his *spirit* in a very nice way. He was a lovely human being.
The only thing that bothers me is that it fails to mention that he was under contract with Jerry Brandt and unable to use the name Jobriath professionally for ten years. It wasn't simply a matter of choice. Jerry Brandt is the reason that Jobriath's career failed. It certainly wasn't due to any lack of talent on his part.

@BackPorchPoet4 It is his song, "I am a man". It is on youtube.

Who's going to see Jobriath AD next year?
-
He died of Aids because he was a fag prostitute... Anyone who calls themselves a true fairy deserves everything they get. Half of NYC died during the 80s lol
-
Is the footage of him at a young age with the cast of Hair? I noticed Ted Lange in the background. This story is just so sad. The industry really does eat some people alive.

Wow, what a beautiful man in his rock days.
-
Saying he didn't succeed because he was gay is total bullshit. Lou Reed openly dated a tranny for YEARS in the 70s! Thing is, Lou Reed had talent.
-
This guy actually deserved the hype, unlike most of today's so called stars.
-
Aww that's so sad. A movie should be made about him and this situation.
-
rock on jo.

It's especially painful that Jobriath died around the same time his ten-year contract expired. I'm sure he'd have made one hell of a comeback. The guy had spectacular talent.
what song is it playing at 1:26?
