Took my mother to see him. She was 66 years old then and had been one of his biggest fans since the early 70's. We ended up with nosebleed seats so I took my enormous binoculars so she could see him. During a short break on stage David began waving and pointing up where we were sitting and mom started squealing and waving back. Apparently he noticed the reflections from the lenses (picture two huge purple eyeballs) and figured only a real fan would lug those things around just to see him. Whether he really was waving at her or not, that was one of the happiest moments of her life. There will never be another David Bowie. The man. The myth. The legend.

@HardNews TV4 Check out the liner notes on Texas Flood; SRV thanks Bowie. If Bowie and NIle Rodgers hadn't seen SRV in Montreaux, SRV & Double Trouble might have spent another two or three years playing bars in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. The fact is that SRV was not able to come to an arrangement on touring with Bowie on the subsequent Bowie tour because of his own commitments being on the brink of mega-stardom with Texas Flood getting ready to debut. Think about this: what would Layton and Shannon have done with SRV backing up Bowie all over the world for the next 10-14 months? As it is, it all worked out for the best; I mean only guitar geeks like me even know who Earl Slick (SRV's replacement on the Bowie tour--and an unrecognized god himself!!) is.

David could certainly play funky music like this and a song like "Fame" as well !

[@ParchmentScroll]

"Musical chameleon" is right. After touring with Nine Inch Nails and hearing their sound, Bowie and Brian Eno - a longtime collaborator of his on songwriting - came up with "I'm Afraid of Americans," a song so much in Trent Reznor's NIN style that when Trent remixed it for the US single release, the end result REAAAALLY wasn't far off from the studio version. (The music video with Trent as "Jonny" is of the Nine Inch Nails "V1" remix.)

I think if you look up David Bowie, it'll say: "He was smooth and cool as hell!"

[@kerrysweeney2921]

Hi Jamel, Bowie is the sound track to my life.He sung this on Soul Train-He was the second White artist to appear on the show - Elton John beat him to the number 1 spot.I was lucky enough to see him back in the early 80’s,he did not disappoint! Another Legend taken far too soon,RIP Mr Jones x

[@sapphoculloden5215]

"That was smooth and cool as hell". That's a pretty good description of Bowie.

[@JanS1]

He’s amazing. You could do a month of Bowie. Genius.

[@bernardcoombs1778]

Bowie did a great duet with none other than (drum roll)... Bing Crosby: "The Little Drummer Boy". It's a Christmas song, so you might have to wait til then. Or not.

[@maryharris2330]

My favorite Christmas song!!!

[@chrishanson995]

It would force me to lose the Little Drummer Boy challenge.

[@DMZwerg]

I was going to suggest that duet next :)

[@ronaldsweet3484]

And Freddie Mercury... And Mick Jagger. Peter Frampton, Stevie Ray Vauhn among the many great guitar players. John Lennon, Elton John...

[@aileenhoop5810]

I was a kid when I saw that special on TV. I was hooked and an immediate fan thereafter. To this day, it’s not Christmas time until that song is played!!

[@CopperValentine]

He's the Goblin King. He can do anything. :)

"How's he doin' this?" He's David Bowie-musical genius! This was from Bowie's Thin White Duke/Philadelphia soul era. The entire Station to Station album is excellent-check out TVC15, Station to Station, and Stay.

[@Urban_Piggy]

Christian Brasso TVC 15? Now we’re talking!

[@patriciagittins2116]

Amazing album

[@andyscott5277]

If someone asked me for my definition of “cool,” I’d play them this song. Bowie was a master. Lucky to have seen him live in 2002. Onstage he was a magician of sound and vision. Check out one of my favorite songs/albums by him: “Station to Station.” It’s pretty epic. Was in his “thin white duke” stage persona at the time. Cheers!

[@jeffnovak568]

Bowie's natural singing voice was a higher end baritone, with a very pleasant and surprisingly high falsetto. Sounds like two people, but it's all Bowie. One of the greatest artists in rock music. Glad you enjoyed it, Bowie was a treasure.

[@NoobToob2014]

The thing I love about David Bowie is he was never afraid to be himself and he always was reinventing his sound and everybody loved it because he killed it every time

[@nlumby]

...you probably ought to look out 'Fame' by David Bowie

[@GP-yc2it]

Golden age of music.

[@jeffwilcox5123]

Jamal , my wife and I just retired and we dance and sing to this often. Love ya. Keep up banging reviews. Always look for your reviews.

[@sherrysink3177]

This is my friend Eleanore's favorite Bowie song. I never paid much attention to this one over some of his other hits, but after she told me it was her favorite, I checked it out, and now it's really grown on me. I love it. :) Gotta love his uniqueness and versatility.

[@MaddyN999]

Yep. All him. A genius with a great vocal range. Reinvented himself over and over throughout a few decades. Miss him so very much 💔.

[@gooseman_x]

Jamel ... the look on your face every time Bowie hit the high notes .... priceless !!!

[@kimberlyferguson4460]

Side note: just so you know David Bowie was in Labyrinth 80's movie.

[@TheDivayenta]

And The Man Who Fell to Earth.

[@markbarker6739]

And merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

[@michellerhoades8774]

He did a great job as Tesla in "The Prestige", but my favorite little recognized performance was as Pontius Pilot in " The Last Temptation of Christ". He was actually quite a gifted actor.

[@rachaelkennedy7535]

And The Hunger.

[@Urban_Piggy]

Kimberly Ferguson Was he ever! Lol! I remember the tight pants!

[@victorwilburn8588]

I recommend you do "Lazarus", off of his last album, "Blackstar" which he did when he knew he was dying. The song and video are chilling. The whole album is excellent and really unique.

[@johndesalvo3969]

By FAR the best tribute to Bowie after his untimely passing was Stings live tribute performance of " "Blackstar" - probably the closest we will ever hear to an actual live Bowie performance of the song.

[@loomofmetals]

“Lazarus” blew my mind. I listened to it soon after his death and chilling is a good word for it. What a singular talent Bowie was. What other big names from the 70s could make music like that in 2016?

[@sherrysink3177]

@@johndesalvo3969 Oooh, I haven't heard about that! Thanks for mentioning it -- I'll have to see if I can find it. I love Bowie and Sting. :)

[@cvgreycat4]

Love, love, love ❤️💕💜❤️💖💕💜❤️Bowie! Elegance personified. Do a live review of him, he’s wonderful

He was an absolute original. Fame, Young Americans, Right, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, Diamond Dogs, Ziggy Stardust....the list goes on and on for great tracks to react to. :)

Even with all the accolades and awards, David Bowie is still one of the most underrated musicians ever. It's fun to see you enjoying him so much.
