The second she starts singing, its full on chills EVERY single time! She's absolutely gorgeous too.. This whole movie/show is timeless..Its great even all these years later. Even though I've seen it a bunch, it never gets old/boring.🤩
I like the Fifth Dimension, but I have always preferred this rendition. Her voice is beautiful, she looks beautiful standing there and the dancers are so fun to watch! I love this movie!
I have thought about this most excellent version since 1979. The awesome singer, the arrangement, the horses, Treat, Beverly, the hillbilly guy and the gong sound at the end.
I’m truly amazed that the woman singing this never became a big star. I remember seeing this at the theater in the 70s and thinking this is one of the best female vocalist I’ve ever heard.
She actually played a girl named Sybil in the movie youngblood with Brian O'Dell and Lawrence Hilton Jacob in 1978 before this movie and she played the role of a heroin addict in the movie youngblood
It might sound weird, but I always thought this scene in the movie paints the hippies as almost like Elves. The singer is made as and has the aura of some Galadriel-esque woodland Queen, the way the dancers move with the music through the trees and the way two of them seem to bewitch the horses of the policemen through their dancing, it all seem s very magical.
You are correct , I viewed this as a teenager in the 70s and this reminds me of the elves of Lord of the rings. This film sings peace. That is what all people want. As I do. My thinking is it this. Humans are insane, absolutely insane. Who in the F would test nuclear weapons not only into the atmosphere but underground as well. In my opinion as a veteran this is ten times stupid.
Well during the hippie era especially in England and the rest of the UK is when a lot of people started really getting into all that magical stuff , folklore , Celtic mythology and whatnot .
Your thought was not coincidental! All of it was intentional. Maybe not knowingly at the time but everything you stated is exactly why this piece continues to capture the hearts of many to this very day. 💖✨
yes ladies and gentleman, 40 years has passed since Musical Hair was on cinema, i was 15 and so proud to grown up the best years ever, thank you Milos Forman!
The panning around the singer is my favorite part of this number. It set a real otherworldly tone to the song and Claude's introduction to the hippies.
The same. I was about 14 years old. My mother took me to the cinema. It was before velvet revolution here. This cinema theare was specific for 24/7 pruduction. It was great. Great movie director, great movie.
41 years later, but i still remember how it made me feel the first time i saw it. Like anything was possible, and we could change the world...how did it change back?
This is unbelievable. Such an Aquarian scene perfectly executed with the dancers and the panning on the gorgeous singer. Also can we just talk about this woman’s voice? God DAMN! Wow. Wow. Wow. In love. December 21st is just a few days away everyone!
And what this era gonna bring? I don't understand why people believe in astrology, I belive in what we can do for each other, the era that there will be no more discord and wars haven't still came.
This song ended up being prophetic. At one minute after midnight London time (aka Greenwich Mean Time) on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) of 2009, the moon was in the 7th house (in Libra) and Jupiter was conjunct with Mars in the sign of...Aquarius. That was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, and most people missed it.
Criminally underrated movie. It was filmed in the late 1970s, released theatrically c. 1979. The setting is NYC during the anti-war activist period of the late 1960s.
The Age of Aquarius begins on 12/21/20!✨ Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding. No more falsehoods or derisions. Golden living dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelations and the mind's true liberation!💖💜✨
This made me cry. My son was born 7 weeks early on a cold January day. I used to sing this song to him when he was in the infant icu. He is 23 now and is true to his Aquarius self
1970's was a great time to be a teenager I know because I was born in 1960. It seemed like everything was totally free to express yourself and no one could stop you from it. Maybe that's why I am so opened minded to my kids and my nieces and nephews ask me when I will grow up. I don't feel like I am 60 because when I hear this type of music it just takes me back to my teen years.
I had seen it a number of times, but a few years ago, some friends had a movie night and put this on because they thought it would be some silly fun. After it was over, everyone was pretty speechless. They were like omg that was an amazing film. Yep, that's Milos Forman and Twyla Tharp. They don't make anything that isn't jawdropping.
I was 10 yrs old when I saw this movie.. I would practice "slow motion" while listening to the album... ahh youth. We used to find interesting ways to entertain ourselves with no vcr's or internet yet. If it was winter... well it was slow motion time!
As I watch again, mesmerized by people who can dance & sing well...I think of the Polish dancer (&actress) Izabella Miko who just spontaneously starts dancing in the middle of a NYC courtyard! So fun. Still love this clip, song, dancers!
I don’t understand how this singer didn’t become famous. Her voice is simply out off this world. I have never heard a voice closer to that. What a voice!
@@Wealthywright this wonderful singer was not famous. And FAME doesn’t destroy gifted, people destroy their gift themselves. They have judgment and knowledge to choose. If they make the wrong choices, they will the consequences. We are free to make choices but we’re slave of the consequences.
@@theigor27 Astrologers wrote a lot about this Great Conjunction, also astronomers talked about this, using the term Great Conjunction and Christmas Star. You can google this and find a lot. The reason we got thought all of this mess this year is because we are getting ready to enter the new ear of Aquarius, better world full of love and empathy. Before rainbow there is storm. We still have to work a lot to make world better place but I believe we can. Be blessed 💙
Love it, love it, love it. I became a fan of this movie in the late 80s, then discovered the 1968 Broadway album in the 90s. But this will always be the ultimate, note-perfect version of this song for me. Magnificent.
Very well done opening of of an enjoyable and watchable movie, carried by a genuinely Soulful and brilliant update to the signature song... Especially the great vocals!
Que hermosa canción, la escuchaba en los 70tas, me recuerda mi infancia y toda mi familia joven, que hoy la mayoría ya no están, que nostalgia tan especial.
Renn Woods (the singer) was just 19 years old here (the movie was released in 1979 though shot in October 1977). What an incredible talent!
Wow, 19 !!!! Blimey, thanks for sharing. She's incredible
Is she related to Ella Woods?
What a powerful voice!
thanks
recently played at a friend's funeral and was very fitting - a child of the 60s, it was his favourite. RIP John
The second she starts singing, its full on chills EVERY single time! She's absolutely gorgeous too.. This whole movie/show is timeless..Its great even all these years later. Even though I've seen it a bunch, it never gets old/boring.🤩
Goosebumps an tears every time she starts singing
My thoughts exactly.
so true
Me too. It’s amazing. And I’m so happy to hear it affects others in the same way.
No gen z are total bread heads.
I like the Fifth Dimension, but I have always preferred this rendition. Her voice is beautiful, she looks beautiful standing there and the dancers are so fun to watch! I love this movie!
I have thought about this most excellent version since 1979. The awesome singer, the arrangement, the horses, Treat, Beverly, the hillbilly guy and the gong sound at the end.
Yeah, just came here from watching the original, and the singer here has a more powerful voice.
No one sings this better than Ronnie Dyson!
She sings and doesn't do that showy over the top over sing. Its refreshing & central park looks amazing with them all
@@wmpetroff2307 -- Not to overlook Nell Carter, taken too soon. Damn, she was goooood.
She has pipes! HAIR is one of the few musicals I absolutely love for it's moving soundtrack and performances.
I can't get over this choreography by Twyla Tharp. The way the dancers play with rhythm, space and time is surprisingly original.
Agreed. It’s so natural but beautifully choreographed at the same time. Making something look like it takes. no effort is a genuine talent
I’m truly amazed that the woman singing this never became a big star. I remember seeing this at the theater in the 70s and thinking this is one of the best female vocalist I’ve ever heard.
do you know her name?
@@newgabe09 Renn Woods.
She's gorgeous and charismatic, too. You're right, she should have gotten much more recognition from that point on.
She actually played a girl named Sybil in the movie youngblood with Brian O'Dell and Lawrence Hilton Jacob in 1978 before this movie and she played the role of a heroin addict in the movie youngblood
Wow I thought exactly the same 👍
How did Renn Woods not become a global superstar???? Her voice is unbelievable.
This woman sang the hell out of that song!
Ren Woods
And she was right the era is here
Is this the woman singing the song?
i remember watching this in drama school and we were all blown away by her voice
Oh yeah. She should have been a star with that voice.
I love the dancing horses. I'm glad someone thought of putting in there. It is a great thing.
Same in Amadeus... was it that Forman loved horses?
Okay.. I can't be the only one who finds those dancing horses absolutely hilarious..? Cracks me everytime. 😆🤣
Came here looking for this comment and was not disappointed! 😅
I love dancing horses ❤

It's 41 years later, and it's finally arrived.
Right on that👍
I'm not seeing this happened for while, but i believe someday we get there 🌟💫
Yes !
Is this a joke? :p
You mean 42yrs
yes ladies and gentleman, 40 years has passed since Musical Hair was on cinema, i was 15 and so proud to grown up the best years ever, thank you Milos Forman!
Amazingly enough, so was I. But unfortunately I had to wait until 1984 before I saw it on TV.
Wow,! 40 years since that night on acid at the picture theatre already.?
Seems like yesterday.
I love the natural dance and movement choreographed by Twyla Tharp.
i love the "slow-mo" effects!
I was in College studying design. My whole class went to see it multiple times. We were all mesmerized by the film
What a voice,I`ve never heard such a voice.And I am 64 years old.
RIP Treat Williams, you voice helped make this movie truly special many years later!
The panning around the singer is my favorite part of this number. It set a real otherworldly tone to the song and Claude's introduction to the hippies.
Never dawned upon me that I would actually live to experience the dawning of the Age of Aquarius!
When I first saw this movie.. I waited inside the theater afterwards for the next show, just to see and hear this scene again
Ah the days before DVDs hen you could scene jump and the net where you could find specific clips. I remember those days. God I feel old.
The same. I was about 14 years old. My mother took me to the cinema. It was before velvet revolution here. This cinema theare was specific for 24/7 pruduction. It was great. Great movie director, great movie.
Twyla Tharp, the choreographer, is a FORCE. Her sense of movement in space is breathtaking.
What month was this movie and song brought out in 79 anyone know.?
@@janetmerser7613 The movie opened in M@y 1979, but the Bro@dw@y show (@nd this song of course) opened in the 1960s
Twyla Tharp's choreography. Brings tears of joy. This whole movie does
It can't be overlooked how stunning Beverly D'Angelo looks riding horseback!
I agree, she is a beautiful woman.
Absolutely lovely 💚
Didn't even know the actors when I rode by them sitting in a car middle of desert, had to let me drive by. This was Military scenes near Ft. Irwin.
A fellow Aquarius here! I love this musical and all if it's songs, especially this one! ♒️
The Vietnam War may have stopped the Dawn of Aquarius forever. God help us.
I’m 60 years old now and this movie makes me cry all the time
RIP, Milos Forman. This was my favorite movie of his...
For me, my favorite of his is "Amadeus."
Amadeus for me. But I must see Hair.
@@vinnieviddivicci5459 I never saw that. The only one of his later movies I saw was "Man on the Moon."
@@cubdukat- Oh my goodness! You must watch it! Great movie!
One of the best movie musicals ever. Forman was the real star of this show.
garrison 68 Yes... it’s not dated. It’s still joyous and pivotal.
Hair and West Side Story
41 years later, but i still remember how it made me feel the first time i saw it. Like anything was possible, and we could change the world...how did it change back?
This is unbelievable. Such an Aquarian scene perfectly executed with the dancers and the panning on the gorgeous singer. Also can we just talk about this woman’s voice? God DAMN! Wow. Wow. Wow. In love. December 21st is just a few days away everyone!
The best musical, I love this song. The lady who sings it did a great job. I also love her hair.
Its such a beautiful song with great melody. Doesn't matter who sings it and where!
RIP Treat Williams (December 1, 1951 - June 12, 2023), aged 71
You will be remembered as a legend.
I hope they gave the bass player a bonus paycheck. Holding it down. 🎸
the choreography is fantastic, these are the types of moves you'll see to this day. Timeless. (edit: spelling)
Agreed. All of the underpinnings of American Post-modernism that are just becoming mainstream in contemporary dance now.
I am feeling grateful and priviledged that I will be living in the age of Aquarious. Many dreamt of it but left too soon.
And what this era gonna bring? I don't understand why people believe in astrology, I belive in what we can do for each other, the era that there will be no more discord and wars haven't still came.
Ah yes this time it will definitely happen 🙄
I think this is a TOP 10 VOCAL of all time, hands down, periodt! And its even more special because of the political tension at the time.
Absolutely,!!
JUST BEAUTIFUL dancing and singing!!! I love everything in this clip!!!
Renn Woods sounds incredible! Still the best version of this song!
Love Twyla Tharp's choreography. And and bery young Baayork Lee...magic
Baayork Lee was not part of the movie 'Hair' -- you may be thinking of 'Jesus Christ Superstar."
The singer has some great singing pipes. She put emotion is the song
I love this movie I'm actually an Aquarius too!
Your song ! Aquarius rising here..
Me, too!!!

Still great after O so many years. In 2020 we need some Aquarius.
This is some of the best singing I've ever heard. And I'm a professional musician.
Absolutely!!
The best version of this song!

I was born in 1955. Thanks for your comment. The fantastic array of 70s music ushered in that beautiful spirit as you describe.
This brings me back to a time in my teen years I forgot. Was a great time thank you. 😥
That was so good in many ways I can't even explain.....
Was in the Army 1978 when I watched this fine movie! Good movie about the 70s!
We stop counting it having watched this movie in the Theater after the10th times, nearly half a century ago, and it's still grovin' by these vibes
Hippies unite!!!!
Stupendous singer
One of my favorite songs period . She sings her heart ❤ out..
One of the best movies made, and hands down the best musical ever made.... By far!!

My first play@ 17 years old. 1969. I’d love to see it again.
O trabalho do cameraman nesse filme e fantástico.Para os padrões da época enquadrar os atores em diagonal e escalar é incrível.
Gotta love the twla tharp choreography. Way ahead of its time!
Renn Woods incredibly voice
The world needs to see this movie more than ever before. One of the my favourite
Feliz 2021! Feliz Era de Aquário! 😃😊✌❤☮ Cadê os brasileiros? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

twyla tharp choreo.. outstanding
It's one of my favorite songs and movies that I love to watch over and over again. 🙂
A philosophical way of observing the life, and as a result, the movie was a successful project in the seventies.
Soundtrack from 2022 launch of the Polestar 3 EV...kool car, & a wonderful song this is.

Peace to all who read this.
Thanks so much!!!
PEACE and LOVE for you too!!
Thank you !

Every time the horses start dancing I lose my shit. I just watch those dancin horses over and over.
This film is a miracle.
