How the World Order has changed in my own lifetime... :) Nina grew up in East German (USSR Occupied). She was Professional Trained in the Arts and Opera, etc... Which in time is reflected in her music years later, especially when she was able to leave the old Soviet Union and enter West Germany (USA Occupied). I grew up listening to Nina, especially when I lived in Europe for the US Military. Memories :)

Love that song. Have the 12" and LP. Great record but African Reggae is one of my favs. Like "Hot Shot" too. What a talent. Saw her twice. Last time was like 10 yrs ago in a little club in Long Beach Ca. Here daughter was in the Peace Core by then. Sounded as good as when I saw her at the Palace in Hollywood a decade before. We had a Record Store and she was booked to do an autograph signing there the day after the Palace Show in about the same ur as this TV show. We went to pick her up. Said her then baby was sick and couldn't come. I said there were 150 ppl waiting. She came, with no make up! Have a picture. Nina was very professional. When driving back she talked about the Goddess and her friend Layna who was also into the Goddess. Brought out her baby. Told me to feel her head (fever). I put my hand out to ck. She said "no with your cheek". Acted the same. This is really her.

Well said. Rickles just died last month....he often talked about his time as a G.I. in the Phillipines...almost 3 years service. His humor...esp. regarding race and ethnic differences was/is an "acquired taste"...and RARE for comedians to 'get away with it'. But Don was fearless...had many black-american, hispanic and fans around the world...of all races and ethnicities. He was an "equal opportunity abuser"...even picked on his own tribe...the Jews...with hilarious consequences. Look of Don at the DEAN MARTIN ROASTS...which were broadcast of NBC in the 1970s. Priceless.

Turns out, it was Merve Griffith. He invited me on his yacht in long Beach later that night, and I went. Michael Jackson was there, Elizabeth Taylor was there, and a whole bunch of movie stars. It was Michael Jackson's album release party for the thriller album. Me and Michael Jackson talked quite a while. It was a awesome event..I was shocked that anyone famous would ever stop and give a ride to a stranger. Awesome yacht, and the car was very nice..this was 1983. Even though the album came out in 1982. They were celebrating the huge success of the album.

@@glennfromthebronx Having multiple guests interact after the initial interview was commonplace for many shows back through the 50s to 90s? Johnny Carson, Dick Cavitt, Mike Douglas, Bill Boggs come to mind. Today though we rarely see this. It’s a shame it truly enables not only interesting television, but expands the concept of human interaction. Wonder when, and why it ended?

OMG! THIS IS HEAVEN! I'VE ALWAYS LOVED NINA HAGEN AND LENA LOVICH! PLUS, MERV GRIFFIN. THE MAN WITH THE MIDAS TOUCH! I vaguely remember Thomas Dolby being in Lena Lovich's band? He did backing vocals in a video. I spied him in a video of hers. NEW TOY or LUCKY NUMBER?

This was a great song. But if you liked it you MUST (I am begging you) go listen to Yma Sumac. You will thank me later. [she was first at this] Also, am incredibly pleased that she mentioned Lena Lovich. That was super nice of her.

Just saw Yma Sumac, unbelievable. Same style of Nina and Lovich but in the 50s/60s(!) from Peru(!) Is there a name for this style of singing? I thank you indeed.🙂👍
