A 1973 Midnight Special Moment Where Two Icons Collided on Live TV

Transport back to when David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull stepped into full theatrical mode to perform Sonny & Cher’s classic “I Got You Babe.”
Live on November 16, 1973, the duo delivered one of the most unforgettable moments in the history of the music show Midnight Special — a performance that blended glam rock, cabaret drama, and the kind of chemistry only two cultural shapeshifters could conjure.
Bowie, deep in his Ziggy‑coded era, and Faithfull, in her icy‑cool mystique, turned the duet into a surreal, camp‑glam fever dream. It’s the kind of archival gem that still feels electric decades later.
