Tim Curry Sings For Billy Crystal - GLAAD Awards March 2005 - Marc Shaiman

Billy Crystal, received the Excellence in Media Award at the 2005 GLAAD Awards. Here we see him being serenaded by Tim Curry in "a brand new and rather vulgar song written specially by Marc Shaiman in tribute to our friend Mr. William Crystal."

[@lisaknell6018]

Tim Curry is brilliant. Have loved him since Rocky Horror. He’s so versatile and is great in everything he does. :)

[@bonniebickett4520]

I have a 45 record of Tin singing "I do the rock" As a kid I thought he meant rock-n-roll! My as looked back on my years in the 80s ooohhhh shibbit!!!!

[@jws1272]

Can we get an 'AMEN' for this statement? Lisa, I totally agree, and not just because I'm a HUGE Rocky Horror fan. (Have guested as "The Man With No Fucking Neck" a few times with our local cast.) Actually, if you want to see one of Tim's more underrated roles, seek ye out a 1991 film with Sly Stallone called "OSCAR". It's a great farce, and Tim steals the show......

[@truthseeker7001]

We all like a versatile man 😉

[@RedCeltay]

@@bonniebickett4520 have you seen Paradise Garage? It's got references to RHPS, 1 is a person dressed like Frank-N-Furter.another is Brad and Janet. Also they B & J's car broke down, that's how they wound up at his castle. I've watched it since it first came out. Midnite movies everyweekend. I earned my hor status. (All nails black) did Magenta in front of screens etc. It was such a blast, back then.

[@heavymetalfan87]

Tim is utterly delightful.

[@hrothgleas1]

Almost always...

[@jws1272]

OMFG..........it's a shame that Tim Curry can no longer give performances like this any more................because this was FANTASTIC!!

[@sittathecat]

❤

[@dylansdelights]

Yes it is utterly delightful. Delivered with the perfect amount of playfully emphasized diction, in such a wonderful fashion of classic witty comedy styling. I adore this kind of comedy, it's soo much fun. And although it's only suggestively uncouth... It somehow creates enough naughtiness to make me by properly giggle everytime! Not laugh... But giggle, like I'm a child again ☺️😆😅😂🤣❤️😋🥰 God I miss how the world used to be when everything required a bit of extra effort... Cause I swear that's what created not only the magnetic characters of this era but the connections & friendships like this one. I miss the wonder & the giggles. 😇🤩😍🤪🤟 Also if anyone hasn't seen Mr Billy Crystals golden moments of hosting the award shows from back in the day. Then I definitely recommend checking out all of his Oscars footage. Because he is brilliantly funny & worth checking out.

[@CaptainClowns]

Love him

[@maureenwagg5305]

Tim Curry will forever be my favourite actor. He is amazing.

[@kepler186f4]

It is quite the honour getting roasted by Tim Curry!

[@ISpyABirdie]

since his major stroke several years ago. it put him in a wheelchair and gave him a slurred speech impairment. it sucks when u find out another one of your heroes have suffered this madness, this disease is horrible. trust me i know. i have family members who have and is still suffering through their recovery. im just glad he still goes out to conventions nowadays. and yet he remembers everything about his career. amazing man

[@ddivincenzo1]

The first time I saw him was when I rented RHPS on VHS. My first thought was that I am a 15 year old female and he looks better in fishnet hose and high heels than I do.

[@chantelleadlington]

He still has his humour and still has a sharp mind

[@outtherelivinginthepub1973]

He certainly is amazing man, just as much as he was in his younger days. Love him in rocky horror but he terrified me as Pennywise the clown in IT 1990! Still gives me nightmares. What is GLAAD? I take it by that song, its something about gay pride? Didnt like all the queers + poof words in that song but I know he's just having fun. As a gay man myself, I cannot abide when vulgar people use it in a vicious way! I'm surprises to see Mel Gibson there, 2:20 hes the biggest discriminator of gays and Jews!!

[@Qui7422]

But his smile is still ravishing

[@aliezahjuarez1212]

True love him tim curry😍

[@MsRee713]

No matter what he's doing, he can still break my heart. I've been in love with him since I was 16 when I saw him in the Worst Witch. And then with all of the Rocky Horror parties I hosted, that all of the popular kids came to, shows he's just incomparable. now my kids love them just as much as I do. Their favorite movie is Clue.

[@MrLordstarboy]

He is spectacular in Clue.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

he just brings such wit and style (his own) to a part. Unique and special !

[@XAdaLgi]

Clue is one of my fav too! No matter how many times I've watched it I still can't figure out how many bullets there were lol always meant to count at the start of the movie but always seems to take the back seat once he starts jumping about on the scene lol

Tim is a great actor, but I have always loved him even more as a singer. I even managed to find his albums on vinyl. Amazing voice

[@morticiaaddams7866]

Agreed! I have his records too!

[@jeaniee.6283]

finally! i have his albums on CDs. I never even knew about them and I was in high school when RHPS came out and fell in love with his voice

[@gothgirl4evr414]

Tim was my first little girl crush when I saw him in Annie back in early 80s. I loved him even more in Rocky Horror Can't imagine how much of an honor it would be to be serenaded by him. His voice is like honey for your ears

[@melissaivy5199]

I've always loved Tom Curry's voice talking and singing since Rocky horror picture show!!! And this was awesomely cool what he did for Billy Crystal that I loved since the show soup!!!!

[@BaconWrappedCupcake]

I think you mean Tim Curry and the show Soap.

[@JustdifferentKr]

That's not his name! It's Bolly Crystal!

[@colleenknapp8626]

Soap.

[@imapig2025]

He's a legend! Never will be another like him.

[@jameslipke354]

I absolutely ADORE Tim Curry and so does my daughter (she will be 41 in December)! Her first Tim Curry movie when she a kid was Clue followed by The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim is such an amazing talent all the way around...and what a fantastic voice!!! ❤ When Tim had a stroke, my daughter and I both cried because in a way, he is part of our family. ❤ ~ APRIL LIPKE

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

He is unique. He "shines" in a performance and it's never phoned in or a copy.

[@Danceswithfishes]

I fell in love with Tim Curry in "Legend". I didn't even know he could sing until many years later 😀

[@amim4701]

Loved that, but the Worst Witch before that

[@amandadonegan2137]

Legend was made in 1983, released 1984, Ridley Scott of 'Alien' fame directed... The Worst Witch was DECADES after Legend.

[@searchingfororion]

He acted his arse off in Legend. That was all practical effects and make-up. If I remember correctly, they had to change blocking and camera angles because the weight of the horns and the support device limited the range of motion for his head, similar technical issues with the hoof apparatuses which is why you don't see many full body shots of him standing or walking. Ever the professional, he still did full makeup even after these problems were found - his background was in theatre; you never go out in partial wardrobe.

[@Danceswithfishes]

@@searchingfororion thank you for the "back the scenes" peak. I feel I just read a featurette on the movie! 😀❤️

[@searchingfororion]

@@Danceswithfishes You are very welcome. My noggin' is filled with random morsels and trivia regarding certain things. That was a mere nougat regarding Tim Curry. I'm glad you enjoyed it as I tend to be overly verbose in general. 😃

If what happened to him never occurred, I wonder what more greatness he would've blessed the world and his fans with...we love u Tim 💙

[@Eggmanontheair]

Seek out Tim's brilliant and hysterical film "Pass the Ammo," where he plays a Jim Bakker-esque preacher. It is beyond words.

[@valerie7990]

i love that movie so much! it's so underrated

[@christopherkerns639]

Tim Curry was is and forever shall be an incredible actor! He was amazing in Hunt for Red October! Though I personally prefer him in comedic roles he can and has done drama to perfection! He has a an amazing devilish smile that show warmth, mirth and fun! Even though he has been sadly strickened with a stoke he is still the same wonderful talent he has always been! I wish there was an award that should be bestowed on this extremely gifted man! Mr.. Curry you are a hero and a cinematic genius! Know that you have given a tremendous gift to us the fans! And for that I thank and will always admire you and your accomplishments!

[@linfincher]

Very well said!

[@KimAP]

His voice ❤️

[@monicalawhorn2485]

Oh I just love Tim Curry. Funny, sweet and oh so talented. His voice is just amazing. I have loved him ever since I convinced my mom to check out the VHS of The Rocky Horror Picture Show from our local library (I was too young to check out movies then). I watched that VHS for days then had my mom recheck it out. Just loved it. His voice is so amazing I don't even have to see him to know it's him. He's voiced many cartoons including Ben Ravencroft in Scooby-doo and the Witches ghost. My kids say it's the scariest voice. Can't wait til they are old enough to watch IT then they will know Tim's scary voice lol.

[@hayleycomet8029]

I have chills watching him perform.. he's so effortlessly brilliant!

I wish he could heal completely from his stroke. He's still got his sense of humor, but this is the kind of stuff I miss.

[@officialtimcurry]

Almost 10 years later and he’s still going strong. Don’t focus on what ifs - focus on the remarkable recovery he has made and the life he’s continued to lead that so many others can only dream of.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

@@officialtimcurry totally agree. Saw a recent podcast and he sounded so good. I'd love to see him in more productions. He can still give a performance, in my opinion. IF IF IF he has a noticeable disability, it's life and the entertainment industry needs to USE all types of actors. That is a true representation.

[@kateaustin4254]

Just the most fabulous performer. If you've never seen it find his Pirate King from Pirates of Penzance. You're welcome!
