Brixton, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe
David Bowie (born David Robert Jones on 8th January 1947 in Brixton, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Active in five decades of popular music and frequently reinventing his music and image, Bowie is widely regarded as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. He has been cited as an influence by many musicians and is known for his distinctive voice and the intellectual depth of his work.
As a multi-instrumentalist, he is famous for playing the guitar, piano, and saxophone, but also plays the harmonica, drums, cello, marimba, bass guitar, koto, and stylophone. He rose to fame with the 1969 single “Space Oddity” and the 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Subsequent albums have explored blue-eyed soul, electronica, and new wave, often pre-dating these genres’ popularity or even the point at which they were defined as genres.
Bowie is one of the most influential rock musicians from the 1970s to the present. He has sold an estimated 136 million albums in his career and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to his musical career, Bowie has had success as a painter, web-designer, sculptor, Broadway actor starring in The Elephant Man, and film actor starring in many films.

Yeah, obvs Let's Dance is the exception! Remember when I first heard the LP. It doesn't need to be any longer than it is... (for what it is)

@innerspeaker lol I was kidding, although I do prefer the long version, mostly because I think the song is so catchy and so inviting the dance (obviously, I know) so when the song change it's tempo mid song, sounds like Bowie is playing with us.

@The_last_Ramone - guess we'll have to agree to disagree - the album version just seems to drag in the middle section and loses its focus for me.

7 minutes Let's Dance is way better than radio edit mate. More Bowie is always better.
