Moms Mabley & Kris Kristofferson presenting award U.S. TV 1974

[@LB99971]

now, that was a good pairing. Kris and Moms. Both Southerners. One black. One white. One old. One young. It was perfect! and Kris loved it.

[@mamiejackson3862]

There will never be another Mom's Mabley! Simply ❤️

[@anniesanders4302]

Goöd

[@paulalim1476]

This has to be the best awards presentation…..EVER! Love them both!

[@shadowmixx]

This pairing worked out and it was indeed magic. 💓💓💓

[@draner2]

In my book, Moms Mabley was the first African Queen of comedy.

[@JarenMorris21]

great chemistry between the two...Kris (looking quite handsome) was a fantastic sport and Moms truly slayed!! Gladys looked amazing. I wish I was around during these times.... There always seemed to have been something so pure and genuine going on in the social climate of the time.

[@Heyjay454]

I remember seeing this as a kid when it first aired...and falling outta my chair and in love with Moms!! This is a gem forever!!!!

[@aliciageary7653]

Rest in peace Kris and Moms.

[@dimitri.l.clark.5132]

I watched this in amazement. The Moms Mabley was the essence of genuine. Redd Foxx could have been called the male Moms Mabley. However, Kris and Moms are the reason i keep watching this. Rarely have i ever seen a Man handle celebrity so well. The real ones vibrant at a frequency that cancels Sexism, Racism, division and lack of heart. They were a beautiful pair of souls. A stolen kiss because his heart and excitement knew better. Timeless. No issue with letting a Queen lead. That my friends is simply an unbroken man.

[@tammyemoore5454]

Well said and great observation on your part

[@aliciageary7653]

I’m gonna miss him. 🥹

[@25cows]

God, that was a thing of Beauty.. Ms. Mabley at her mostly uninhibited best, Kris at his most gracious, and to top it off, Gladys, the most sweet of them all.

[@annlovely312]

If you want to laugh just listen to Moms Mabley. Listening in 2019

[@essicran2]

Hysterical!... and so raw! R.I.P. Mom's!

[@Eyagsf]

One of the sweetest award presentations I have ever seen💜

[@shiaennals]

This lady said I can't work with these teeth this was thee most raw the realest and introduction I've ever seen in my life

[@robertfullerjr802]

I'm so glad I grew up in the 70s those were some good memorable times it was a privilege to be a part of that era✌

[@freddiearmstrong121]

Even the great Richard Pryor said that Mabley was the best!!!!

[@cleopatranoble6963]

Can't get enough of Moms.

[@orashap9836]

Me either.I love moms

[@AmberDiva79]

MOMS WAS THE BEST HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!

[@nenesterling7689]

Amber B I wish aunt Fe was still living so she could have played mom's mabley in a bio pic

[@jojoheartspaypay]

She was GREAT!!

[@reelspilltv]

Moms had me ROFL LMDAO. Kris, ever so graceful. The chemistry between the two.

[@TroyandMilva]

This is why I am so glad to have lived through the 70s. I feel sorry for this generation!

[@clapolla]

You and me both

[@jjohnson1434]

I listened to Moms Mabley Records as a child, when I was about 8 years old. I'm 70 now, and still remember her great comedy. at &0, she has inspired me to try my hand at being a comedian. I''ll call myself, "Ms. J". Hahahaha!

[@mr.richard9784]

Wow. You win an award...you go up.. and say Thank You...and u leave!!...no HATE SPEECH...WOW!!!...sure miss those days!!

[@rhamiemanuelmoura-yameen8416]

The entertainers during that time and era were just that , professional performers. That is why everyone loved the music and the musicians back then - no matter what their so called ethnic placing was.

[@raelevine6685]

I was so excited to see the HBO Whoopi Goldberg special on Moms Mabley. I was amazed, laughed out loud at her, and ashamed that I had not included her in my Black History Curriculum when teaching. This segment with Kris and Moms blows me away!

[@darrinleazer6784]

Lmao!! All my gosh!! How come I'm just seeing this after all these years. She is absolutely wonderful and funny.

[@anguitenens]

bless her heart! ;) i think she did pretty good to be 80 years old at the time.

[@mikeburkholder9153]

It's taken a long time for videos of Moms to come out. Sure glad more is being made available. Thank you for posting.

[@justtracy7175]

Classic, classic, classic....mom the best original queen of comedy!!!

[@ot8479]

What an incredible talent!!!! She was unique, and so classy in her own way!

[@brandirevell6687]

Moms died before my time but I love her comedy ...best to ever do it

[@ronnykmarshall]

I love how Gladys Knight and the Pips just lose it when she reads their names as nominees.

[@sawtnpeppa]

my god! how time flies! I don't remember Kris NOT being grey, and Mom's what a sweetheart! we were ALL younger back then! what was I?? a ripe old 20?

[@dqDST1913]

Lord a'mercy she took them teeth on live TV....ain't NOBODY like Moms!

[@patriciasmith8756]

Love him and her mom's let it all hang got he was so gracious

[@vince065us]

Moms and Kris:Two of a kind.

[@johnbecker9242]

I remember watching this with my mom. I was 12 at the time and just remember her letting out this combination of a scream and a laugh when Moms Mabley took out her dentures.

[@jimbo.fife.05]

What a gorgeous woman ! God bless her.

[@mattlc713]

When Gladys reacts to "if you can last for 30 minutes"! Perfect

[@JazzMaestra]

I remember this moment in TV history. Moms was wonderful!

[@tiwantiwaabibiman2603]

I remember seeing this awards show the night it aired!!!

[@a1duzit]

Man I love this woman. Wish I could have been alive to see her in performance

[@itzpapalotl13]

Oh my God!! She's amazing!

[@lakeisharobinson2132]

The 1st time I saw this was on Whoopi Goldberg's special! Moms Mabley was something else! May God Rest Her Soul!

[@AngelaSledge3678]

BIGMAMA had Every single Album ;) luv it luv it chile

[@Themaddprof]

OMG!!!!! I heard some older people tell me about this! But for all these years I thought this was just an urban legend! God bless you tube!

[@ShawnPlusOne]

Love love her first remember hearing her when I snuck my dad's records she was raw uncut and funny so was skillet and Leroy And pigmeat and markham anyone remember them.. Lol Red fox

[@ronnykmarshall]

I loved those old Red Fox records. We had all of Flip Wilson's one as well.

[@dggd]

So glad this was re-loaded again!! It was taken off for awhile!! Good ole moms!!

[@dianemckenzie9967]

Moms was a role model for female comedians of color. Grew up on her...altho my parents were cautious of what I got to hear. And from her came Whoopie..whom I still love and adore. I remember her broadway performance about her "long luxurious hair" with a sheet wrapped around her head. We've come a long way, baby.

[@JazzMaestra]

I was in high school when this particular Grammy Awards aired. I am so glad I was born when I was born!

[@GetTheGrandFunkOut]

This was a good one!

[@vernonweatherbe119]

The Seventies, what a time! I was fourteen , then. Jackie "Moms" Mabley was probably the funniest comedienne for her time, sorry , Lucy and Carol. The 'Ol gal didn't do too bad for herself coming from the chit'lin circuit!

[@touttamoi]

This is a gem! Thank you

[@Kine1]

LOVED THIS ONE, thank you for uploading, what a performnace,lolooll....

[@BrodyJoeandBriars]

Priceless! Moms Mabley was so awesome!

[@BossyLady29]

Just came here after watching Whoopi Goldberg's documentary on Mom's... love her!!!

[@ms.teetee6913]

Me too!! On January 5, 2021 @ 12:29 am 🤣🤣🤣

[@biggestkkfan1506]

"I'm crazy about that song you've sung about..." Don't understand every word of what she's saying, but this is just so funny! Awesome!!! Thanks for the upload!

[@strawberryseason]

The allotted time on these awards shows is so controlled now. No way would they allow a six-minute, rambling presentation of the nominees. I liked it when awards shows went a half hour overtime. Mom's is hysterical.

[@jimcatalfamo8034]

Simply beautiful

[@berthadaniels5373]

WoW Moms Mabley was a Riot. Lol . She was a smart and very funny lady..💕😂💞😄

[@commonsense4154]

What a legend,truly missed ,moms is the best.

[@jaip6729]

That was when music was great and original.

[@darrinleazer6784]

I just looked Moms Mabley and found out that she was born in North Carolina, and she was just wondering how in the World I never heard of her, until now.

[@philiptonee6334]

Bless Mom's Heart!
