You can tell that she was genuinely thrilled. Carly Simon is truly a classy artist.
Carly Simon was the first artist to won the three Top Awards with the same song : OSCAR , GRAMMY and GOLDEN GLOBE with "Let The River Run".
Sammy Davis Junior, Was a Great Actor and a Cool Cat ,Gregory Hines wore a Top Hat, But Carly Simon was All That and More
Wow I didn’t know that. Thanks ❤
RIP Sammy Davis Jr, and Gregory Hines.
so sad these two are gone RIP
I can't believe Sammy Davis and Gregory Hines has passed on!!! RIP
So deserved, and Sigourney should have totally won for best supporting actress!
I totally agree, Genna Davis, a great actress, but what Sigourney did is magnificent, a well-made villain, she deserved the Oscar, plus she was also nominated for best actress, one at least would have won.
@@superyoutubemiranda9800 A little unfair to compare because Geena Davis was actually lead, and Siggy was supporting. Geena was incredible as Muriel and much better than William Hurt, whose character was insufferable. I would still nominate Kathleen Turner in the supporting category and also Kelly McGillis for "The Accused".
And Emmy award
One of The Greatest Movie Soundtracks, By Miss Carly Simon
Ground breaking film. Women were no longer “secretaries” ,they became assistants and This song was perfect for the movie.
Love this song... Love Carly Simon
Love this song !!!! Forever one of the best !!!!!
"Let The River Run" is a masterpiece!This song is a hymn. For me, it's a Manhattan symbol and a NY trademark. :)
Why? What does it have to do with NY?
butternutcrunch it’s the theme song of working girl a movie that basically showcases what can happen in nyc
Where you say the song is a "hymn," a Manhattan symbol and a NY trademark," you are probably unaware how true that statement is. www.realhistorychannel.org/simon-and-schuster
Absolutely
Deserved win, it's still one of my favorite soundtrack songs. Anyway, Laura Branigan should've been nominated that year as well. She recorded amazing tracks Helpless, So Lost Without Your Love (both from "Backstage") and Your Love (from "Salsa")
Yes, I love Laura Branigan very much too
Two Hearts is a better song
I love your comment 'cause it doesn't any get better than this.
she seems like such a super lady.
Love Carly Simon, she so deserved to win.
Calling You is a masterpiece.
RIP Gregory and Sammy.
Love you Carly Simon
I love you Carly Simon ♡
Great win, although "Two Hearts" would've also been a worthy winner.
However, where in the world is "If We Hold On Together" from THE LAND BEFORE TIME or any of the songs from OLIVER & COMPANY? Those are snubs that everyone overlooks, and the Oscars could've easily had 5 nominees that year.
They may have not had that many eligible songs that year, so that may be why. I agree on almost all accounts except it should've been Two Hearts instead of Let the River Run.
futuremovieactor even knowing i was a baby at this time but the 61st academy awards in 1989 honoring the films made in 1988 should be ashamed at themselves for not having these 8 songs in the best original song category 'love is my decision' from 'arthur 2: on the rocks 'nobody's fool' from 'caddyshack II' surrender to me' from tequila sunrise 'why should i worry?' from oliver & company 'coming to america' from 'coming to america' 'colors' from 'colors' 'da butt' from school daze' kokomo' from 'cocktail 'hole in my heart' from 'vibes' these 8 songs would have been in competition with 'let the river run' from 'working girl' which won that year i dont know about 'put a little love in my heart' from 'scrooged' because it was a song written in 1969
“If We Hold On Together” is one of my favourite songs ever.
As a Phil Collins fan I can deal with "Let The River Run" having won, because eleven years later Phil Collins finally won in the same category.
that unforgettable song is the anthem of the '80s
love this song....
Great songs that year. Tough competition.
Carly Simon Wins!
Oscar Winning Song, and Grammy Award
And the Golden Globe Award 1989 with the same song. Carly
Simon was the first artist to won the 3 Top Awards at same year;
0:44 lol that alarm
Yeah what the hell was that? LOL
Malfunctioning Mixtape I think 😂
the presenters 🤗❤️
AMPAS, did you have it in your archives and were just waiting for news related to Carly Simon, Mike Nichols or anyone else involved in the movie? Either way, R.I.P. Mike.
I especially love what she is wearing here! So hip and cool!
0:47 IS MY IDEA OR THE SOUND WAS LOOPED???
This is Classic Rock and Roll TV, Before MTV!😎
Carly the best
Ay... qué tiempos
who doesn’t love her?
Too bad the songs "Love is my decision" from the movie Arthur 2, and "Why Should I Worry" from the movie Oliver And Company - were not nominated for an Oscar in a year where only 3 songs were nominated.
i agree they shouldve been nominated even Dudley Moore who presented the nominees for Best Costume Design with his 10 costar Bo Derek was there that year
This was from the dreadful Oscars show when Snow White danced with Rob Lowe to 'Proud Mary'. They only had 3 nominees that year for Best Original Song for some reason. None of these songs were performed on the show and they didn't even play a clip of the songs while announcing the nominees.

todas as musical legal
Idole
If Carly Simon was an Actress then she could be cast in Charlie’s Angels and replace Kate Jackson
even knowing i was a baby at this time but the 61st academy awards in 1989 honoring the films made in 1988 should be ashamed at themselves for not having these 10 songs in the best original song category 'love is my decision' from 'arthur 2: on the rocks 'nobody's fool' from 'caddyshack II' surrender to me' from tequila sunrise 'why should i worry?' from oliver & company 'coming to america' from 'coming to america' 'colors' from 'colors' 'da butt' from school daze' kokomo' from 'cocktail 'hole in my heart' from 'vibes' ' "If We Hold On Together" from 'the land before time' these 10 songs would have been in competition with 'let the river run' from 'working girl' which won that year i dont know about 'put a little love in my heart' from 'scrooged' because it was a song written in 1969
UGH! l love them all, you know? But three others like "Arthur 2," "Caddyshack 2" and "Vibes" - that didn't help my themes and interests anymore. I'm sorry but that's
how l feel. Now I have my own life/ego about dozens of wonderful songs with colors, textures and images were kept everything together. That really moves with me all the way. It was a real sudden change of heart to do lots of singing in schools, classes and churches with such wonderful style and substance.
‘Calling you’ should have won! One of the greatest movie’s song ever
Ehhh no, sorry!
Are you fkn kidding? Bob Telson sounds like he’s having a gender identification crisis
Though I definitely love the song and the movie or was for, Let The River Run chills the soul and bring tears to my eyes.
Jevetta Steele’s version, yes. Bob Telson’s - I’d go w Carly.
Love "Let The River Run", but "Calling You" is better!
No never
I prefer let the river run
I really love Carly Simon, but the other two nominated songs were better!!!
Carly should have won for "Heartburn" (1986), but she wasn't even nominated!!!
koln1996 Same, huge fan....but of all her soundtrack songs, this one is likely the weakest. I mean her best soundtrack song is "Why" but she didn't write it....BUT OF THE ONES SHE DID, I'd have to say "Love of My life" :-D
Calling You is a much better song. Unfortunately Bagdad Café was not strong enough of a movie to carry that song to a win.
Let The River Run, The New Jerusalem, even though the song was used for Working Girl, it's all a metaphor and has nothing to do with the movie.
This is completely incorrect. She literally wrote this after reading the entire script of the movie and it is a love letter to the city of New York. 🤷🏽♀️
Another mistake.... Calling you is a masterpiece.. 😮
Two Hearts should have easily won this.
Her song is superb, but she and her acceptance speech were pretty anticlimactic (was she drunk ?). Plus, she didn't even thank Mike Nichols. I mean, without the first shot of Working Girls, without that grandiose panorama of Manhattan, Let The River Run, no matter how brilliant it is, wouldn't have had the same impact.
She said "thank you Mike", the first thing she said so I think she meant him :)
She said: "Thanks Mike (Nichols, I think).
Oi. You don't know what you're talking about in anything you said. First, "Thank you, Mike" is in reference to Mike Nichols. And no, she wasn't drunk, she was just overwhelmed with emotion.
fail comment 🤣🤣
That's not your fault...that's theirs. But I hope they know what doing. Especially talking or so on.
Working Girl is a better movie than Buster, but I'm sorry, Two Hearts should have won instead of Let the River Run.
