@@Davkalion indeed,a great Performer he was,he would had been from now 79 years old,he is,was sadly said,was, the same ages like our mother. Greetings from Europe 🙋♂️🎼🎶🇨🇭🏳️🌈 to the 🇺🇸
I was at clubs where he was many times and even saw him perform once. I think I remember him and Joey Arias working at Fiaruccis (is that how you spell it) which was a store uptown that had hip clothes. He was such a personage on the nightclub scene. I was watching the Saturday Night Live when he and Joey sang backup for David Bowie. I jumped up from my chair and said, "Oh my God, Klaus is on TV." I will never forget him.
Fiorucci. He would sometimes sing there. I used to buy my journals at Fiorucci on the Kings rd, so when I dropped out of School I ended up in NYC, at the Y in Chelsea, in a shared dorm, and I would go to the Gap and the to Fiouucci to buy my new journal (90 cents), and there he was. Full of joy.
@@semsemeini7905 Some people would have like to have tasted his pies, lol. 😂😆😅🤪 Of course that didn't end well for them at that time (no offense!) so...yeah! Not that they were bad other containing the VIRUS and who knows whatever else? But it sounds like he made them with love which is unfortunate because I bet they were good otherwise. 🙂 And it is sad the world could not have experienced them under better circumstances for sure, huh? 😏😥
Lucky! I adore Klaus, I have since I first saw him in 1979. I also got dragged past that store by my dad's wife, it was torture not being allowed to even approach the window. (I'll try to spell it lol-Fiorucci's-did I get it)?
God I love this clip so much and think I remember seeing it years ago. Klaus is so adorable and optimistic here. Wish all of his dreams could have come true. 🙏
It’s 2019. We have completely gone backwards. The 60s, 70s and 80s were far more progressive and interesting than today. I hate to say it. And it breaks my heart. But it’s very true.
OMG how very sweet!!! He is amazing. So lovely and cute. You know, the way he says he would love to sing at the Met and then just laughs so cute. He could have, me thinks. Thanks for all these gems you have uploaded!
His life was the stuff of operas. A bizarre but sweet persona, a huge amount of vision, and a career on the brink of going sensational. And yet he was probably dying even as his career began to take off.
Yes, do you have some question about that? 1984 was a 1948 novel by George Orwell and was considered by most to be a warning about life in the future. Now it's considered an instruction manual by some.
omg it was so tragic to hear her ask where he wants to perform "a year from now"... and the 1984 comment at the end - a year he didnt even have a chance to see! ;_;
Un genio. Como me jode que acabo de conocer de el hace 2 semanas. Este tipo es de verdad de los pocos irrepetibles. Ah y por lo que he leido de la gente que lo conocia era buana persona, humilde, amable, no un divo o una diva de esos baratos que andan por ahi. En esta entrevista deja ver lo humilde que era. Sencillo Nooooooo. Que grande Mr. Nomi
The footage belongs to 1981, but one could see some early AIDS-related features on him, like facial emaciation. One must remember there was not any medication available for AIDS until AZT was released in 1986/1987. Sadly, Klaus Nomi passed away only two years after, in 1983.
I think there's a bit more of it in the documentary "The Nomi Song." He died in August '83 and this was a "few short years" before 1984. Probably 1981.
Wow la escenografía. En esos tiempos era todo tan simple y maravilloso!!, todo un arte. Este artista es grande, que pena y no haya mucho material de él
I so totally luuuurve his version of "I Feel Love", all of that version!! Ach, Klaus, wir vermissen Dich sehr. Thanks trylonperisphere for all the fantastic vids you uploaded, these are all GEMS!!!
Wow! This is an amazing clip. Klaus was an absolute musical prodigy! I hadn't realized he achieved the cult status he did as demonstrated by this appearance on Channel 5 News as reported by Judy Licht. Gawd! Does she look so young! I'm so glad he did. I would love it if you told me you have a video of him singing ,"I Feel Love", one of my very favorites. Please tell you do. Please? BTW; What year did this clip appear?
The teletype sound heard on this clip over Judy Licht was designated "Teletype Receivers Battery" and came from the Thomas J. Valentino/Major Records sound effects library.
This was on channel 5 news I think at that time was what by Fox News..The interview was by Judy Lichtner or Something similar thanks for posting the interview
I clicked on another video and found it is once again from you !? How do you know so much about him? Is there a book I can buy? I had heard him but now Ive seen the film and I am enthralled and amazed with him Can you give me a clue to where I can fimd more about him and his life - before he was known too? be great if you can x
@trylonperisphere that is SO true! What a profound observation that holds a genuinely creepy meaning in it, reflecting the state of this world as we know it in 2010!
I got "The Nomi Song" on DVD. Bought it at Amazon. I saw it twice on RU-vid. And on DVD one time so far. But what I like about the DVD is that it has bonus material, including his final performance of "The Cold Song". Fantastic!
@TheLamelyNamed And Lady Gaga, i guess. I mean, just look at her. She seems like a cheap imitation of this brilliant artist. Then again, who and what isn't looking like that today? God, i miss the 80s.
