One of the best. There will never be another Bowie.
Got me. Having seen Bowie play sax, and hearing Lou Reed say DB was "responsible for" the track n that song (by virtue of arranging for his sax teacher, as it turns out, to play the piece), I conflated the two.ScottPatrick said:Played guitar, the great Ronnie Ross played sax. Bowie and Ronson produced but an odd pick for his best work considering he has such a tremendous catalog of his own.
I'd love to know what your wife thought about the new play. I may be in NYC soon and would be interested in seeing this play. I bet it's going to be a hard ticket to get now.SurfCityFrog said:So very sad. I just picked my wife up from the airport last night. She had flown to NYC just to see Lazarus, a play co-written by David Bowie. She is a huge fan and is going to be devastated.
Earl Slick is no slouch either.BrewingFrog said:Bowie was taken down to Austin to hear SRV. Immediately upon hearing the raw power that SRV played with, he signed him up to record an album. It was, of course, a monster hit. Sadly, when they set out to tour, SRV wanted top billing on the shows, such as "David Bowie and SRV". which Bowie and his people rejected. As it turned out, SRV was already on a fast trajectory to the top, and Bowie's tour turned out just fine with Earl Slick playing SRV's riffs.

Only one of the greatest songs of all time, IMO.Reptilian said:Gordo just played Bowie and Freddie Mercury doing "Under Pressure" in a capella. Awesome. Didn't realize they collaborated.
I agree. That's why I was surprised at the novelty.tcudoc said:Only one of the greatest songs of all time, IMO.
