David Robert Jones OAL (8 January 1947 - 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie, was an English singer-songwriter and actor. A leading figure in the music industry, Bowie is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. He was acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his innovative work during the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft had a significant impact on popular music.
During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide, made him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. In the UK, he was awarded ten platinum, eleven gold and eight silver album certifications, and released 11 number-one albums. In the US, he received five platinum and nine gold certifications. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Rolling Stone named him among the greatest artists in history and - after his death - the "greatest rock star ever".
This is the famous video of David Bowie recorded in the TopPop studios in Hilversum the Netherlands, under the direction of Rien van Wijk.
It was broadcast on 4 March 1974. Davis selected this video himself for the DVD 'Best of Bowie' (2004) as he really liked this recording. It was a big hit in the UK (#5) and the Netherlands (#8).
On the same day David did a press conference in the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam where he received an Edison award for 'Hunky Dory'

Only Bowie can hold a guitar, play a guitar, not play the actual chords of the song and still be ultra cool.

[@shyman99]

Sometimes I can simply watch the greatness of Bowie without sound because he is so visually fascinating. Add music and you have a legend.

[@tlynne9274]

Something about David Bowie that sets him apart from the rest...An eccentric genius. Such polished performance, image etc, regardless of what unusual role he's playing in his somewhat strange song themes, settings etc. He may be a rebel and you, can't always tell if "boy or a girl", but no matter how weird his assumed image looks or how bizarre some of his lyrics sound, he has this polished, kind of almost "cultured", refined artistic appeal, originally, albeit a bit peculiar at times, especially his choice of attire, bling, hair colour etc here. Might be Tring to imitate the rebel he's singing about, but if she's anything like he looks, she's a pretty hot, desirable tramp. So hat if she's a rebel. Love the way it subtly pokes fun at "snooty" middle class females trying so hard to "look hot", when poor working class girls look ultra sexy, even in old torn dress and skip all the fancy dinner dates etc at exclusive restaurants bullshit and get straight to the point, in courtship scanarios. As in, "First we check if we are sexually compatible and if we agree, we then do all this dating bullshit..."

[@uroboros5532]

🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@mused932]

I love you soooo❤😊❤

[@bearcb]

Is it just my impression or Bowie is slightly imitating Mick Jagger’s singing here?

[@Ennisburger]

That whole album is filled with Stones tributes

[@BroonParker]

Just thank goodness it's not Dancing in the Street!

[@ggttee3]

Yes it is just you.

[@rene594]

And Mick was influenced by Don Covay. On "Out Of Our Heads" is the Don Covay cover "Mercy Mercy". On Don's version is playing (that time unknown) Jimi Hendrix.

[@stephenhirst990]

Mick and Keith must have been so pissed off when they first heard this😂

[@EJK2099]

Why? Any history behind this?

[@Mary...22-u9j]

sock in the pants confirmed

[@ryanwarren2970]

Kind of reminds me of George Harrison.

[@babarama283]

He needs a sandwich

[@genaroprieto57]

White Sammy Davis Jr......👀

[@andhewonders]

That's the weirdest comparison I've ever heard, the only possible similarity is their hip shape, what do you see?

[@genaroprieto57]

@@andhewonders Really ok one hint eye patch

[@andhewonders]

@@genaroprieto57 An eye patch is historically a device employed to enable a battle on a ship to go from on deck to below deck, the covered eye is always ready for the dark, Sammy wore an eye patch for medical reasons, Bowie was fashion, do you have a second hint?

[@genaroprieto57]

Triggered

[@andhewonders]

@@genaroprieto57 Not at all, I'm born curious, and I want to know what similarities you see, if the patch is what you see that's all good, I can see Bowies dance style when I used to watch him in the Black and White Minstral Show, he's smooth like Sammy.

[@colinmcculloch6764]

Doesn’t look healthy?😢
