CHER looks amazing... As usual.
drakemex Yeah...people make fun of Cher, but I've always liked her strong voice, and never tire of looking at her face, hair, figure...
Some people thought Cher's voice was that of a man in the 1970s; She sounded like Todd Rundgren singing his 1973 hit "Hello It's Me" .
Hot damn hot.. native American and Armenian plus some European.. ;) cheyrlyn sarkissian
Ad Nauseum! The bitch sold her soul back in 79A. D. She is utter perfect- tion
Crazy pretty
My mom took me to see Poseidon Adventure in the theater when I was about 7. I remember the song used to make me cry every time I heard it lol.
I could never thank them enough for this song, and Maureen McGovern for singing it. Timeless, healing masterpiece.
Michael Caine was born to host. Handsome, relaxed and funny!
Cher's cheekbones = incredible.
+perpieta Cher has had her cheekbones augmented surgically.
+spayer Really? Interesting. She seems to have them (prominent cheekbones, the kind that "stick out")since she started out, even back in the Caesar and Cleo days.
Her American Indian heritage.. that's where the high cheekbones come from.
Cayetano Tirado she has no NA heritage
@@spayer9101 she first had surgery 1987 so um whatever... And it also don't matter its her face and her money. Nothing to do with you
They should have thanked Maureen McGovern. She didn't just sing the song, she "delivered" it.
The Poseiden Adventure was a huge hit, so that played a part
Cher was 27😮
oh cher a goddess sO DAMN BEAUTIFUL
I remember when I watched "The Poseidon Adventure" for the first time I cried the Mississippi river at the movie theatre when Belle Rosen died, OMG I was balling big time!!
I'm not sure if it is important, but many here are saying that Maureen's recording didn't exist at the time of the 1973 Academy Awards. A few are saying her single was released in May, 1973. The film was released in December of 1972. The singer has talked about this in interviews over the years. She says when they gave her the song to record, the expectation was that the movie would be a hit and her recording should do well. She has said it was the first time she was ever in a recording studio. Her original single has a 1972 copyright. She says the song went nowhere, and the record company dropped it. They did proceed with completing her debut album. After the song won the Academy Award, people began calling to request it on their local radio stations (that's how it worked back then). As interest began to increase, 20th Century re-released the single, and changed the title of the debut album to "The Morning After." The single climbed the Billboard Charts, and in August of 1973 it reached the number one position and held it for two weeks.
At the time of the Oscar broadcast, it seems very unlikely that the show's celebrities had ever heard of Maureen McGovern, who at that time was essentially an unknown singer from Youngstown, Ohio. They certainly hadn't heard of Renee Armand, since her name wasn't in the film credits, and didn't surface for many years after the movie's original release. It may be that Armand's performance didn't receive any recognition until the advent of the Internet. Armand's original recording heard in the movie was finally released on the limited edition CD of the movie's soundtrack in 2010, thirty-eight years late. Armand mentioned in her own comments a while back that the performance heard in the movie is her original demo-recording. There was never a proper recording session to prepare her version for the soundtrack.
@@rolandkee335 Thanks for your reply. Thinking back to that time, it seems odd that none of the high-profile singers attempted the song. That left the way open for Maureen to launch her career.
Cher was stunning, and her clothes reflected her beautiful lithe body. RIP Sonny Bono
Holy shit Cher is stunning
Cher as beautiful as always
God rest Al Kasha. Love his songs. 😢
Maureen McGovern made the song what it is,an inspiration!!
except she did not perform it for the movie she did it after and the movie version is far better anyway
Wayne Grosvenor ~ Totally agree, Renee sang it so much better and i enjoy her version the best!!! 🌞
Cher is fantastic 🎉
Awwww Sonny and Cher!!
Funny just heard this song today on music choice. Beautiful song. Perfectly captures the spirit of the poseidon adventure if you listen to the lyrics. One of the best songs to win this award.
I agree , I always wondered if it was written for the film ; I also wondered why The Towering Inferno didn't have a signature song but had an instrumental soundtrack instead.
Indeed but it's also so embracing it captures the essence of hope itself amid the direst of times, the darkest gloom.
When actors were witty & the Oscars had class.
cher is soo beautyful ♥.♥
Sadly and unbelievably to me, the performer of the song, the illustrious MAUREEN McGOVERN, who made the 1972 song a "hit" and Oscar Winner .....was not even mentioned at the awards show. If the haunting and meaningful lyrics weren't captured by the alluring voice of Ms. McGovern, perhaps "The Morning After" may never have taken flight the way it did. Kudos to Maureen ....shame on the songwriters Joel Hirschhorn and Al Kasha for their major faux pas. The gold record of this song, along with the gold album that followed, hung proudly in her family's dinning room for many years. They were shinning beautifully and a pleasant sight to see. Also beautiful was seeing her Mother and Father - and Sister, beaming with pride for their daughter's first major achievement in the music industry -- with just her first recording. I was then, as I still am now ....overjoyed for her. ~~ PS: Happy 66th Birthday to Maureen McGovern - July 27th, 2015!
she recorded it after the movie for release
she recorded it after the movie was released. She was not on the soundtrack for movie
***** you r correct
If they were clairvoyant they could have mentioned McGovern because at the time of this broadcast she hadn't recorded the song yet.
Totally agree. They don't walk off that stage with the awards had a lesser voice sung their song.
Wow, after seeing this video my life in COMPLETE. I've always seen pictures of Cher in that beautiful outfit and have always wanted to see the video of her and Sonny at the Oscars! Thanks for the upload! Great classic footage.
Search for Cher singing, "I Got A Name" and you can see her performing in this outfit.
The Version of The Morning After by Maureen McGovern was released May 1973. The Oscar’s for 1972 was March 27, 1973…But Irwin Allen had Maureen McGovern sing We May Never Like This Again during The Promenade Room..For The Towering Inferno. Released in January of 1975 Album and 45 Record, with Where Love Takes Us..on the “B” Side from Gold..also Nominated.
John Williams The Towering Inferno,…Was my First Movie Soundtrack I bought of John Williams 👍🥰😜
"We May Never Love Like This Again" also won the Oscar for Best Original Song...also written by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn.
Canción hermosa y Cher hermosa tambien.
cHER IS SO BEAUTIFUL, THE GODDESS!!
Cher was flawless
Amanda Goncalves What a life she had, singer, movies, married to Greg Allman. I cant confirm this but I was told Cher & Greg lived in Buffalo, NY for a while. I do rememember Allman Brothers Band coming to Buffalo a lot to Darien Lake outside of Buffalo. I did get lucky saw the band at a local Bar. Yes that Buffalo labled Snow Capital of the USA. Its True we get 10 feet almost every winter from Lake Erie. The worst 1977 Blizzard winds 80mph 19 feet of snow City & Schools closed for 3 weeks. People trapped in houses because of 20' snow drifts. Google 1977 Buffalo Blizzard to see how bad it was
Agree
Simplesmente LINDA!!!!!!!! Tema do Filme O Destino do Poseidon.
Amo esse filme, o original ♥️
Holy shit Michael Caine looks young here.
27 March, 1973. The song was written in March 1972 and sung by Renee Armand for Poseidon Adventure while Carol Linley lip synched.
Cher, always so BEAUTIFUL :
"Ben" is still remembered and played today!!!
"The Morning After" has been completely forgotten!!!
Oh I wouldn't say that. Everybody wants to cover MJ but no one could ever hold a candle to Maureen McGovern and they probably wouldn't dare to. She's still alive and performing actively to this day and has had many award winning songs to her credit. The Morning After is a beautiful song sung beautifully by Ms McGovern who has the best voice in the industry.
HUH? It is true...most thought..back then..that Ben would win..the song about a dreadful RAT in a dreadful RAT movie...but The Poseidon Adventure was a huge hit...And it did win song..and it is still remembered today...KOLN1996..your not.
What fool thinks "The Morning After" isn't remembered???? Buy a clue, dude.
+koln1996 Ben is the forgotten one loser.
That's absolutely not true. Lots of us remember and love the song to this day. Just because you are not familiar with it doesn't mean there aren't plenty of other people who agree that the Oscar award was very well deserved for this beautiful song. For those that aren't aware, Renee Armand is the singer who dubbed the song for Carol Lynley in the movie and she did a good job also. I love both versions.
Wow this show was actually watchable in the days. Imagine how crazy the Oscars will be in 40 years since it is already a freak show now
I. LOVE. CHER.
No mention of Maurine McGovern? And why not thank Renee Armand who did the actual singing of the song for the movie?
Maureen McGovern didnt release her version til after the oscars
I thought the same thing... thanks for the explaining why.
Good sound. Congratulations
❤Cher❤
que hermosa se miraba Cher y que cuerpazo
wooooowwwwww......que recuerdos.......
MUY BUENA LA PELI
The lyrics are about getting through a storm and about a morning after the storm, how on Earth did the girl who sang it in the movie know the ship was going to capsize ?
1973, it was a different time, another dimension. A different United States
The days before Finnadookies had to be in every commercial and before every commercial was anti yt.
Great
True adventure
Cher's like the most beautiful woman in the world. a goddess
I was like: "Thats Cher??? OMG she actually had a face once"
Yeah I know, I was shocked when they said it was Cher. I dont care what her fans say. She does not look good anymore. She clearly had a natural beauty but the Cher I see now (and the only one I know) is ruined by plastic surgery. It is sad that she felt the need to go there and that people actually think she looks good now, cus look at her back then. This is so much better than how singers look like nowadays.
Cher Bono had the beauty of an American Indian goddess when she was in her 20s..
She’s very hell she has chronic Epstein-Barr syndrome
I thought he was going to make reference to the fact that, although Dionne Warwick had the big hit recording of "Alfie", it was actually performed on the film's soundtrack by ... Cher.
I didnt know that
Love Cher's version heard at the end of "Alfie."
its exactjy 40 years ago¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ a long long too long time ago¡¡¡¡¡
Oscars: "The Morning After" winning Best Original Song Oscars
Happiness Channel & Videos
It doesn’t matter that the stage looks like a garage! The stars never shunned brighter!
Those abs.....my goodness.
They shouldn't mention McGovern. They should have mentioned Renee Armand who sang the song for the movie and not the hyped / commercial version performed by McGovern.
🌹✨
Bad, bad jokes yesterday and they still keep doing it today 2019...
I do not remember this song any more, but I sure remember Ben
THIS SONG IS AMAZING AND MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEN IN EVERY SINGLE WAY. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS TO WIN AN ACADEMY AWARD! AS A CHILD I HAD BOTH RECORDS AND I MUST SAY THAT THE MORNING AFTER AGED MUCH BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF THE SONGS I KNOW. IT IS TIMELESS. PERHAPS YOU HAVE NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO ITS LYRICS.
The poseiden excelente film.👏👏👏
i disagree pal.....the morning after has turned out to be one of the most famous songs that won that category..... pure romanticism...and exiting lyrics and music
Yes it sure is an in many movies and tv showx
My God, are those swimming googles?
Ironic that Michael Caine started this one because of him starring in the sequel five years later
Even in the great 1970s people were respectful and dressed nicely like it used to be what happened to this world !!!!!
stfu
Some really gross people are presently running the world. They claim to be "progressive" while pushing failed garbage from the past like "communism."
why do people constantly believe Maureen McGovern sang this song in the movie she didn't
No, but it would never have been a hit based on the version in the film. McGovern turned it into a giant hit - and that was likely a bigger influence on it winning than the film version.
because she sang in Tower inferno..We will never love loke this
@@joshdrayton1230 That song was an international hit for Maureen McGovern; she recently released a new version on her last CD. In an early interview, she acknowledged that interest in her song didn't take off until after it won the Academy Award. It was this month (August) in 1973 when it became a number one hit in the United States.
Then who did?
@@tinadurski4717 In the movie, Carol Lynley is seen singing, but you hear the voice of session singer Renée Armand. You can find that vocal performance here on this platform.
I just watched the 89 show and she ended it-wow what a difference
THE GREAT MAUREEN McGOVERN Song!!
Were there no musical performances this year?
They used to scatter the songs throughout the award show in those days. It would be nice if somebody would release all of those performances! I think Connie Stevens performed _The Morning After_ in the broadcast. Maureen McGovern was apparently unavailable, although she does appear on the Grammy Awards from that year. That performance has been posted here on CZcams.
@Riley Gardner Michael Jackson performed.
C'mon, Maureen McGovern's rendition brought them the Oscars!!
I'm not sure who has the less charisma of all of them. The song, amazing. Not forgotten.
CHER= beautiful goddes.
never heard of three of the nominees.
Cheers = super,duper xtra super ,beyond hot.
Also add the "w w w". at the beginning so that it works. or you can just search here on CZcams "Quincy Jones accepting an Oscar® on behalf of The Beatles" or just search "beatles oscar". Cheers
And then Michael Caine does Beyond the Poseidon Adventure
Hollywood loves "ironic casting."
This was back just after Bruce fell into that cave full of bats. Alfred was so young.
Mal ehrlich.Kurz nach dem die beiden aufstehen, fallen mir 2 Personen auf.
Vorne Links wenn man bei ca.2:26 das Video anhält, sieht man da doch Roger Moore,und direkt dahinter wenn ich mich nicht täusche, ist das doch Shelly Winters.Die hat ja auch in dem Poseidon Film mitgemacht.
When a boat is sinking, isn't it obvious you have to go up?
Michael Caine used to be young?!
M Walsh, Life isn't fair, people get old and ugly!
He was in his late 30s at that point in time.
Cher was smoking hot here... wow.
0:53
Cher is sexy, so natural
0:48 "The bone nose, sunny ensure."
it's really difficult to see his face under these glasses...
Should of went to "Knockin' On Heavens Door" for Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid, sung by Bob Dylan.
Sing it backwards and the succubus returns to hell!
how old is cher ???
+Luis Moctezuma Dhe was born in 1946, so...69, turning 70 on May 20.
Cher? Ageless? Tell that to her (awful) plastic surgeon!
Can we have the video of The Beatles winning their Oscar?
No. Everything in life isn't about the Beatles.
hi fullmetal howya doin?
Still think Ben by Michael Jackson should of won.
What about Maureen???
They didn’t even thank the singer!?!
the WINNER, and rightfully so,, what a great song, and Maureen did it proud,,,, SHE should have gotten an award for singing it so beautifully!!
No one had heard her recording yet at this point. It was nominated based on it being a good song.
She was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys for "The Morning After".
Can the Academy pin this for posterity:
For those of you wondering why the winners did NOT thank Maureen McGovern for the song, the reason is because SHE did NOT record it until AFTER "The Morning After" won the Oscar.
It's already up. Here it is:
you tube com / watch? v = 3A9 WP x1q NkY
(justremove all the spaces and add the full stops. CZcams won't let me post a link so I had to seperate it)
They didn't thank Maureen for her performance? Wtf
R I P Maureen -sleep in Heavenly peace.
Maureen is still alive.
@@arealmench It is the actress Carol Lynley whom we have lost. She plays Nonnie, who is seen singing in the movie.
he was hot
Who was hot, Gabriel? Sonny or Joel Hirschhorn ?
Why don't win Ben? Maybe he's not White.. incredible
What's incredible is that is your mindless deduction.
Astounding that neither of these schmucks thanked Maureen McGovern. It was her performance as much as anything else that made the song a hit - and the Academy loves a hit.
You call these two great songwriters 'schmucks'??? Read the other comments. McGovern didn't sing the song in the film and didn't make the recording until after it got the Oscar nomination. It was released two whole months after the ceremony. When it did become a hit, most people did not associate it with the film for which it was written.
@@mxmxpr , so how the song where into movie? Eh, something wrong`s not right LOL
@@tatystar5724 Renee Armand does the vocal in the film for the actress who plays the singer on screen. Maureen McGovern recorded it after the movie opened and it was a hit by the time Oscar nomination time came around.
@@mxmxpr Not exactly. As McGovern often commented in past interviews, it was the Academy Award that triggered interest in her recording. Her record wasn't made after the movie; it had actually been produced earlier in 1972. It didn't start climbing the charts until after the song won the Oscar. The Billboard site indicates that at its second week at the top in August, 1973, it had been eight weeks on the chart.
@@misterlyle. All the more reason why "BEN" should have won. The musical score was released at the time of the movie. The singer who actually recorded the song also performed it at the Oscars. No dubbed over voices or delays that has brought about all this bantering. Everyone still remembers to this day, the song and the movie because of Michael Jackson.
Sounds like a laugh track
No mention of Maureen McGovern?
Bc her version came out after the oscars
La canción es extremadamente bella, pero si no lo hubiera cantado Maureen Mc Govern, no hubieran ganado, ellos debieron mencionarla, eso se llama egoísmo.
En verdad, Maureen McGovern puso su interés en la cancion DESPUES de que el tema ganara el Oscar. Ya despues de ese momento, ella lo grabó y se convirtio en un exito. Asi que en verdad, no tenian que hacerlo en ese tal momento. Pero si, la canción es una maravilla.
those damn spider eye lashes were awful: Liza wore 'em back then, too
Disgusting that they did not mention Maureen McGovern ! Her voice made this song !!!
Another one. Read the other comments, please. Maureen did not sing the song in the film and her recording wasn't released until two months after this.
pretty shocking that neither man thanked Maureen McGovern for her magnificent vocal performance
