You are right! Earl Slick said in an interview the happiest days of his life were all of the times he toured with David Bowie.

He was a hard taskmaker, but he also picked people to do what they do, and would just let them do it. He had no qualms about moving on either. I don't think you necessarily had to stay on his good side like that, here they all seem to be pals. Of course he was probably a lot better at this time than when he was younger and more messed up

@@ThinWhiteAxe I agree. 99% of the musicians he worked with, he worked with for many years and they pretty much had only good things to say about his humour, vision, kindness and generosity and some of them such as Carlos and Tony Visconti (bar a brief falling out at one point) eventually became his closest friends. They went through all his ups and downs yet largely all stayed friends. He was a perfectionist but also according to interviews I’ve read with his colleagues always make sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed to ensure a pleasant atmosphere in the studio.

what was you connection with him? :)
