You do know it's TV and it's all staged. He would have been coached prior to being filmed. His career was already happening. Modelling. Recording. Acting. First top 10 hit soon after this. With a few none charting 45s before that. Everyone at the BBC would have knew who he was. The presenter was one of the new presenters at the bbc and would have known him.

Dude was a genius. 17 years old.Little does everyone know that David would carry a handbag at some point!

Love 💕 him as always

LOVE when David says, (about his mother cutting his hair) "Yeah! She's quite good at it". Awesome.

Love Bowie’s boyish laughter. He’s so cute and properly improper. I see he’s already had the fight that dilated his eye.

Yes, he was 15 at the time of his "fight" with George in the spring of 1962. Apparently the condition is called anisocoria - who knew? 😁

Amazing that these guys would ever even be considered controversial, considering everything that came after... Shows how much the world has changed.

his voice is so teenage boy-ish. not awkward necessarily, just higher pitched and more youthful. still wack. i thought he would've sounded like his full grown self here lmao

To be fair, if you watch his older interviews from when he was young, he had that higher pitch quality to his voice. Also, when you are 17, your voice is pretty likely to sound kind of different to when you are like 47 or so.

So young and so charismatic!

Bowie's the man , but let's not forget the great Cliff Michlemore's humbleness and approach

The longhaired dude's society..rule the country!

The charisma he had even at 17, so articulate.

He literally turned his vulnerability into his strength. Later on he was still mostly defending himself during interviews only then he could simply say : I've got sold out concerts and staggering record sales that disagree with you and your backward point of view.

A natural improviser and actor. Love it!

Always a classy guy right to the end.. Super talented innovator

First time I have ever seen the extended video of this!!!! He was so damn sweet... reminded me of an angelic choir boy in this😂 and I wonder if his mum ever did do a shampoo and set for him🙈 xx

Thank you for this. A true artiste in every sense of the word. He is truly missed.

Così giovane e già cosi magnetico e carismatico.....e la sua voce inconfondibile....love Bowie forever

At this time and place David’s mind didn’t have a clue we’re life was going to take him ,woooooow amazing

Thank you for this jewel!

The guy on the far right looks a lot like Paul McCartney, even his smile.

David Bowie on this video reminds me of clockwork orange

why did i just get emailed this video by my dad

David Robert Jones (Londres, 8 de enero de 1947-Nueva York, 10 de enero de 2016),​ más conocido por su nombre artístico David Bowie,​ fue un cantautor, actor, multiinstrumentista y diseñador británico. Figura importante de la música popular durante casi cinco décadas, Bowie es considerado un innovador, en particular por sus trabajos de la década de 1970 y por su peculiar voz, además de la profundidad intelectual de su obra

It took another 6 years to become mainstream.

More like 1965 at least. Longest hair around in 1964 was The Beatles and it was way shorter at that point. This is Beatles 1965 "Rubber Soul" period hair length.

What do the Beatles have to do with it? This sounds as silly as if in 50 years they use as historical references what One Direction did every year.

I’m looking for young Bowie before he was really famous interviews to try and make sense of the dreadful casting in this dumpster fire of a biopic film stardust.

Men wore periwigs in the 18th century. Their hair wasn't short in the 19th century. Everything goes in cycles.

His "Brian Jones" stage !

Our mums do it 🤣

Why doesn't someone point out to the square with the mic that all famous composers like Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, etc. had long hair, as did most people for thousands of years. I love the religious crazies who also objected to young people's long hair - christ (if he was even real) purportedly had long hair. So stuff that in your Barbicide jar. Conformity is the most dangerous form of persecution.

Which one is George Underwood?

The presenter has longer hair than David BOWIE, He has slightly less, but longer to hide his "own" baldness! 😎🙏

Rather ironic from combeover michelmore.

Why does he look like he is in the beatles?

Baldermaston 😂😂😂

Why was long hair on boys such a big issue in the 60s?

The stones and Beatles caused them to grow it long

;get yer bleeding aiiiircutttttt LOLOLOL

Is that a young George Underwood far right? 🤔

What a yob! Haha

What stupid questions, why did Cromwell have long hair would of been a better question

He finally got himself on the telly with this "Society". Smart move , but then he chased fame with a desperation and willingness to try anything equalled only by Bobby Gillespie decades later. The difference being that Bowie , once he got himself noticed , revealed that he had massive depths of creativity and talent , whereas Bobby had , well , just a continuing gift to self- publicise with zilch to back it up.

Why do yo cut your hair, in the first place ? What a dumb question.

The TV host looks so old and out of touch

Erosion of society.

The difference between now and then is that today the presenter would be finding himself in front of eight transsexuals.
