Seems so strange to have lived through 5 decades of music and only learning of Jobriath for the first time in my life today at age 49. This song rocked and Jobriath had a rocker's attitude. I read an article today that pretty clearly explained the series of unfortunate events that kept this potential superstar from hitting it big. Such a sad thing to see in hindsight. Makes you wonder how many other great talents we've missed out on over the years. Well, at least I get to enjoy his music for the 1st time starting today - a rare event for me anymore it seems.

I always thought it a shame Jobriath didn't relocate to England. In 74 all us Bowie kids owned a copy of the album. With the end of Ziggy Stardust the doors were wide open. Mick Ronson was touring solo and Jobriath would have been the ideal support act. Alas it wasn't to be and that gig was given to an unknown English band called Queen, the rest as they say is history.

'74 was a great year for Bowie, from an artistic and commercial point of view, to begin with, his song Sorrow (it took a while to reach other countries) reached number 1 in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, it was also a success. in countries as distant as Zimbabwe or Iceland, where it reached the top 3, their next single was Rebel Rebel, which was already a hit before it was released, it debuted directly within the top 10 in the UK, in addition to being played on radios all over the world, and reach the top 10 in several countries, but the best was the album, DIAMOND DOGS! a theatrical album, truly fascinating, the album that divides glam and genres like soul, funk and disco, yes, disco! probably not everything turned out the way Bowie wanted, since he had written a script and wanted to direct a film, but everything came to nothing, although he managed the tour, a shame that he only did it in North America, but definitely having seen Bowie at the MSQ on the Diamond Dogs tour must have been a once in a lifetime experience, the Diamond Dogs album was a huge success around the world, reaching number 1 in the UK (it debuted directly at the first position and spent 4 weeks there) it was also number 1 in Australia and Canada, and top 5 in the United States, in addition to reaching the top 10 in many countries, shortly after the release of the album, Bowie achieved a historical record in British music, his album Ziggy Stardust was It became the first studio album by a solo artist to reach 100 weeks on the UK chart, crazy! That year he also won several awards, from those from NME magazines, Melody Maker, etc... to an Edison award given in the Netherlands, that year was great for Bowie in the United States, in addition to his great tour, he received 3 gold records in a single year, by Diamond Dogs, Ziggy Stardust and David Live... the saddest thing of all is knowing that Bowie was starting his serious problems with drugs, there are really sad photos, but it's good to know that he was able to recover a couple years later, and continue leaving us wonderful music until the end of his days, Bowie forever!

The relationship between Bowie and the beginnings of Queen is curious. Who was Queen's opening act for their first time in the United States? of Mott the Hoople, what allowed Mott the Hoople to do the tour? The song that Bowie gave them! and the album that Bowie himself produced for them, another one. Thanks to Queen having their first entry on the UK charts? After appearing on TOTP, how did you get the gig? They got it after Bowie canceled his. I don't know if the next one is true, but it is said that Freddie and Roger went to see Bowie in early '72, before the release of Ziggy, but with Bowie already in his iconic style, it is said that Roger asked Bowie to produce Queen's first album. It never happened, I don't know if it's true!

As a huge Bowie fan for over 20 years, yes, I can see a Bowie influence in Jobriath's music, but he is nonetheless talented. His songwriting is strong, distinctive and his voice is oddly attractive. Keyboard work is exceptional. I think he would have grew into more of his"own" type of artist as he progressed. I really can't believe this dude was ignored and ridiculed--he's as good or better than a lot of other glam acts at the time--Gary Glitter, and later Gary Numan, etc. And I'maman is a rousing anthem. It's fu*king sad the fact he was openly homosexual cost him his career. He had guts. Glad I discovered him a few days ago.

Of course Bowie was an influence, as was Elton John, on Jobriath. He got an unheard of $300K advance from Elecktra Records. A huge billboard over Times Square. Major press. I saw him perform in San Francisco. Like everyone else there, I don't really remember more than thirty seconds of the evening. I'm not sure what happened, but his second album sold even less than his first. He was over-hyped and, yes, being openly gay was still too much for the mainstream audience. But he was an incredible talent.

BTW, I see on the wikipedia that the Elektra advance for Jobriath was $500K! So much for verification there. :)

Knox Bronson No question, Knox. Even the surname "Boone" that Jobriath invented seems like a nod to Bowie. But Jobriath, musically and vocal wise--had originality in his compositions mixed in with his influences. I'm fairly sure his creativity would have blossomed if given the chance. Bowie had 45 years and 30 albums or so to explore his creativity; Jobriath had, what, 1 year and 2 albums? Actually, 1 album because I think all the tracks for his second record were recorded at the same time as the tracks for his debut. It's sad he wasn't given the oppurtunity to thrive creatively.

If it wasn't for Jobriath Boone, There Wouldn't Be No Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert Or Marilyn Manson. So Big Props To Jobriath Boone.

I saw this short video-clip of Jobriath on "avro's Toppop" when I was twelve or something! Immediately I fell in love with his music and performance! My schoolmates then disliked him, but no, not I !!! Gay or not, what the f***!!! It's music that matters!

FINALLY somebody sees the Stones thing. I've been saying that for 30 years. Pure Mick on "Rock of Ages". I just found this vid today and I'm a little stunned this many people are aware of this stuff. For my money, "I'm a Man" and "Inside" proved he was more than hype.

I saw the documentary, and much ado was made about how the producers of the "Midnight Special" didn't want him on the show. Jerry Brandt admitted that he was sleeping with the woman who booked the bands for the show and got Jobriath the gig. Despite what the producers thought, the camerawork and video effects were extremely well done for the time period. I'll bet someone on the production end realized they had some good visual material to work with. You coudn't do that stuff with Foghat.

I have a Penthouse magazine issue from May of 1974 with an article about Jobraith, and his manager Jerry Brandt. Pretty interesting read, from when he was first breaking into the industry.

The world had already BOWIE and wasn't prepared to change him for jobriath.... Even though this little tune has some nice variations on the coda.... And with a little bit more of work one could get a masterpiece of a cover without the synthetizer and the flamboyant shouting..... Jobriath was a talent the world will never be prepared for.... Only a guy like Warhol would appreciate his "art" and to Anne who said better than Bowie... I just reply with all due respect ...BLASPHEMY !!!! :D

General comment: I'm so sick of watching Jobriath videos and seeing accusations of being a Bowie rip-off. Two different approaches, different styles, different "worlds" created (Bowie never went as old-Hollywood as Jobriath, Jobriath was never as narrative as Bowie). Is it just the glam thing? Effeminate, camp, theatrical? If so, brb, gonna go to Bowie vids and post how he's a pale imitation of Marc Bolan (and he was - Marc did it better and first in a rock setting). Take that Bowie fanboys!

Like you say, different approaches, different styles, no one did it better than anyone really. All influencing each other under the scene of the time. Some more successful than others. Its all subjective really.

Bowie influenced by Syd Barrett, as was Bolan.

But didn't Bowie perform in a very similar costume? Maybe it was after this, but I look at it and think I've seen Bowie in that costume. Bowie being "out" as bisexual (or pretending to be bi when he was really hetero, who knows?) was a huge deal at the time, years before Elton John came out as "bi" (though he was also lying). So this guy being an out gay man would have been seen as jumping on that bandwagon. As much as you can see real distinctions between them, I'm pretty sure most viewers at the time were thinking this guy is a Bowie wannabe.
