Original RCA single, 1974 |
Genius, chameleon, a unique artist with a vision that changed the face of popular music, a one-off pushing the boundaries of music, art, fashion and society, a true original, a hero!
Just a few of the tributes paid to David Bowie, who died earlier this week.
His ever changing music meant there was an entry point for virtually everyone's taste. No doubt we all have our own favourite track.
Mine is off the album 'Hunky Dory' a track that later showed up on the 'B' side of the UK 'Rebel, Rebel' single. 'Queen Bitch' sounds very like Velvet Underground.
STARMAN: "Let all the children boogie". My humble tribute is this week's music spot.
There are also a couple of 'live' versions on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljv8xCt4Bq8 (with Mick Ronson, who died in 1993) and with Lou Reed (who died just over a year ago in 2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbxp1hC8vts
R.I.P. – but turn the volume UP !
