But...I have to admit, Clay did an admirable job. But...Bowie and Bing...how special! I loved the set up for the song, too...the casual banter...Bowie came across as so relaxed and not at all intimidated by appearing with this musical senior statesman! ...JudeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-72935300830135713962009-12-23T21:44:50.312-05:002009-12-23T21:44:50.312-05:00Now THAT's something you don't see everyda...Now THAT's something you don't see everyday!

It really *shouldn't* work, but it's magnificent.<br /><br />When you look at the kind of music Bowie was doing in 1977 (he was experimenting in electronic music, influenced by bands like Kraftwerk. "Heroes" came out around this time), it's even more incredible!<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of this bizarre but timeless classic recording!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568060698065303020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-90063048889937682862009-12-23T08:47:59.796-05:002009-12-23T08:47:59.796-05:00Hey there.

Two extremely different artist coming together to make one timeless song is almost unheard of these days. You can almost sense that they both know how different they are but still have a mutual respect for each other. I hate to admit it, but if Bowie hadn't insisted on singing a part that 'showed off his voice' it probably wouldn't have worked. They compliment each other very well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636906445332793773noreply@blogger.com
