Music Oscars® for "Midnight Express" and "The Buddy Holly Story" 

Raquel Welsh was/is STUNNING.

I’m here in 2020 and her outfit is amazing!

Raquel looks fantastic in that outfit. WOW!

It's one of the best original scores, it was so new, it was something different. Giorgio Moroder deserved it 100%, over and out.

Giorgio Moroder Is a legend. So much influence on lots of the music we all currently listen to, same goes for kraftwerk.

I love her outfit! Perfect hair, perfect accessories and so bold to wear pants to the Oscars back then!

Raquel in that blue pantsuit and slinky chocker...I thought that was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life (I was 18 then.) Now, I'm 57 and I haven't changed my mind. An extraordinary moment in the life of a true Hollywood icon.

two italian legends in a stage

RIP beautiful Raquel.

Midnight Express and The Buddy Holly Story has great music score. Midnight Express is the first film to have electronic-based music to win an Academy Award for Best Original Score. Midnight Express, Slumdog Millionaire, and The Social Network are the only scores with electronic-based music ever to win the award.

When Hollywood had class.

Raquel Welch ..... wow!!! What a gorgeous body and face! I have not been able to pay attention to any of Dean Martin's jokes or to the Giorgio Moroder's acceptance speech or whatever. My whole being was only focused on the incomparable beauty of Raquel.

I love how real Dean is and just so cool and funny!!!!!

Raquel Welch what a STUNNER!!!

Raquel - 100% beauty. Giorgio - 100% professional. Dean - 100% drunk.

Dean looks GREAT too, handsome, and SO cool!!!!!

I LOVE how Dean brings, REAL and COOL to Tinsletown, and Johnny's little slip-up and recovery!!!!!!!!

Yes she had the most spectacular 34 C's in Hollywood of all times and those puppies were real but Raquel was a lot more than that. She was a very good actress and she strived to be respected as an actress and not just a sex symbol. RIP Raquel !!

John Williams "Superman" theme should have won hands down.

The Oscars were never the same after Johnny stopped being the MC.

3 of my all time Fav's. Great talk show host, Johnny Carson, the most Beautiful Woman to Ever Grace our planet, Raquel Welch, and My favorite of the Rat Pack, Dino! 🥂

When two Luminous Objects pass each other in the Cosmos.that is how it must be when Rachel and Giorgio met at the stage of the Academy Awards in 1978.

raquel welch, che bella, che charme, che classe, altro che quelle 4 sciacquette di oggi.

Wow what a group of legendary scorers in that category!!

Good Afternoon, my name is Mark A. Elijio. As a great fan of Raquel Welch who has done a lot of work on screen as well as television, stage, music and more...she was more than just a great actress but a perfectionist who gets it done just right. Now she's gone alright. And I've been a big fan of hers because she's sexy, smart, funny, calm, and cool. It's extraordinary to work with everyone in many ways and understand what it's like to be an actress. She has been in this industry from 1958 until 2018. What a damn beautiful lady she was. Sadly she died at aged 82 in Los Angeles, California and survived by her children. Oh, Damn! I'm so sorry. I'm gonna cry all my life 'cause we lost a great star like Raquel Welch and without the stuff we can't enjoy over the years with her ever again. It's gonna be hard for everyone to understand why and feel what it's like in the real world. Because everybody really cares. Just Like Me. Perfectly. For Raquel Welch, thanks for everything. You're very lovely, you're very kind. I'm gonna miss you, RIP, God Bless.

Dean Martin should have been chosen to host the Oscars (at least one year) it would have been one heck of a show !

OMG is she ever gorgeous in that form fitting dress unbelievable.

Raquel Welch! Jeesus, so hot!

His music and his mustache are inspirational!

Giorgio was overwhelmed, in one hand he wins the prestigious award, in the other, he is next to the most beautiful woman in the world. I'm glad he gave her a pair of kisses at the beginning of his speech and then went in grab her by the waist and got another kiss at the end. Oh, I would have done the same, Raquel always has been my fantasy woman, well Brigitte Bardot too and Ann Margaret as well.

Dean is all I see the greatest humble kind man ever

Raquel Welch and Dean Martin had previously co-starred with James Stewart in the western film Bandolero ten years earlier[ I presume by the nominees that this Oscar ceremony was from 1978 ]. Martin had essentially retired from movies, although he made extended cameos in the Cannonball Run films in the early 80s.

Giorgio and Rachel are soooo Beautiful

All I can say is....Wow ! Raquel x

That was a lovely outfit, which she was almost wearing.

The movie soundtrack Giorgio did was chilling and scary and haunting just like the movie !!!! A true evolution in cinema on every level !!!!!!

'Chase' is a timeless classic.

Wow! Great pant suit she has on! Love it!

que preciosura Raquel Welch , muy hermosa !

OMG her outfit!

These people don't seem to understand the impact of Giorgio's music.

His name is Giovanni Giorgio but everybody calls him Giorgio

Giorgio un hombre grandioso y humilde .. es mi Dios lo admiro mucho .

Wow what amazing compositions!

Love it when Dean shows up at these shows totally plastered!

Wow. Had no idea Giorgio beat out John Wlliams here. Bravo!

Giorgio you are a Genius! 3 Oscar and 4 Golden Globe. So many awards just for 13 Soudtracks.. amazing!

Giorgio you are the man! thanks for all!

3:45 Giorgio: -'This is my first score' (original soundtrack) Dean: -'Your first 'score'?? (if you know what I mean) LOL!!! Fuckin hilarious Dean Martin! hahaha!

It looked like Dino was really having the time of his life up there.

I loved it when Johnny hosted.

At this time, Giorgio was a pioneer, far before his time he would define music that was to come for the next 40 years.

Soooo BEAUTIFUL

"You're first score?", Lol, love his smile too!!!!!!!

I would buy a Raquel workout video.

Dean was nutty and funny as usual. There's a reason he didn't even attend the Oscars for 13 years...especially when in 1966 he was a REALLY big movie star... he DIDN'T CARE. Check out his great dramatic performances; "Toys In the Attic", "Rio Bravo", "Mr. Ricco", "Bells Are Ringing", "Ada". This "joke of an actor' was paired with the likes of Judy Holliday, Susan Hayward, John Wayne, etc. He earned his chops. This drunk stuff was an act. Dean was very, very good when he wanted to be. He just didn't give a fuck what you thought.

Gotta love Dean lol.

Dean Martin... forever an adversary to sobriety.

Even past his "prime" Dean was a significant figure in show business. Without question the preeminent entertainer of his time, or any time. Even Elvis thought he was great.

Moroder, genius!

Brilliant !! Well Done Giorgio 👏

Stunning

Sensitivo, melodico, impredecible, visionario, un pilar en la evolucion musical y una fuerte inspiracion en mi estilo J. Lines

It definitely is and he deserves it so much!

His first score!!!

I felt sarcasm in Dean Martin's comment and I realy doesn't appreciate that! Giorgio is great, he's the father of disco' and eletronic music and deserves much more respect, that's why he won 3 Oscars and Grammys! He came to Brazil last Saturday, full house, a success! Congratulations, Giorgio!!!

I love Giorgio.. He composed the main theme of 1988 Summer Olympics titled Hand in Hand as well.. the Olympic was opened in my city, Seoul. :-)

That moustache alone is worth an Oscar

WOW theirs not been many drop dead beautys over the years, but damm Raquel rearly, was an absolute stunner POW , take that fellas😳🙏♥️

when I first saw this I didnt realize Giorgio had done so much with Donna Summer and Casablanca records (Neil Bogart owned Casablanca which did so much for disco, Neil died if memory serves not long after this).

Raquel OMG.. Giorgio genius

I have a feeling if Dino wasn’t married he and Raquel Welch would have made a good couple. He was a great man, and she was drawn into his charm. Both are very beautiful. The good old days of funny, charms, and class are forever gone.

Dean I sure more then w people are looking at you. All the woman's who grew up with your wonderful humor ... We was thinking you just keep getting better looking with each passing year.

Raquel Welch Bolivian beauty

What Quincy Jones did with "The Wiz" was nothing short of remarkable. He took a Broadway score and completely re-orchestrated it and made it better. Take a listen to the differences between "I Wish I Was Home" in the Broadway score and the song in the film. Much better music adaptation than "The Buddy Holly Story."

considering they were just for films they were amazing pieces of music

Buddy Holly yeah man absolutely great stuff

Awesome.

Not a clue what they're babbling about, but I watched it 7 times

Most beautifull girl EVER, Welch was beyond stunning!

Raquel, Jane, Mamie, and Ann are the main women among some others from Old Hollywood who I think about, that still look stunning today in their 70's and 80's.

I wasn't aware that Raquel Welch presented this award to Giorgio Moroder. And how about that line-up of nominees? Jerry Goldsmith, Ennio Morricone, Dave Grusin, John Williams and Giorgio Moroder--you're talking about five of the greatest, four of them Oscar winners in this category, the fifth (Morricone) a lifetime achievement Oscar winner. I've seen all the movies nominated--all very strong films, and I'm particularly fond of the score for "Heaven Can Wait", and of course "Superman", but there's no doubt about it, Giorgio Moroder deserved this one. For an explanation as to why, see my post below. And doesn't life work in strange ways? An American traveller attempts to smuggle four pounds of hashish out of Turkey, and it culminates in Giorgio Moroder smooching Raquel Welch on stage at the Academy Awards. Only in America.

Raquel most beautiful woman ever omg

Joseph Renzetti is one of the most talented score composers ever. And a hell of a nice person.

This guy was a spitting image of Father Guido Sarducci.

Old Hollywood is nothing but class.

Giorgio Moroder GENIO ASSOLUTO!!!

Jamás miré otra cosa que no fuera Raquel Welch.P.D.: Qué pedo tenía Dean Martin!!!

she is awesome

Prescription shades were in back in '79.

good video !

Raquel au top de sa beauté ...😊

Dean was lost. Raquel's blue sequin jumpsuit is in a glass case on display somewhere.

Dean was not plastered. That was part of his act.

3:44 😂 nice work ol’ Dean! I hope he bought you dinner first

Raquel! Que HEMBRA!!!

We need adaptation score back.

Raquel Welch, the ONLY REAL jaw dropping woman ever to live. Sophia Loren and Ann Margaret come pretty close.

Back when the Oscars were fun and not political!

Giorgio EXCELENTE!
