David was the coolest man alive when he was in his 40s. Even without the music. He just looked so cool. David was a icon, there will never be another David Bowie.
@@greenmother1960Is it? Would you mind telling me about it, please!? Thanks 🙏🏻 I always like to know the meaning or message of the expressions people usually write down and I honestly think it's extremely important to be able to get to the point of them, you know!
Bowie pushed boundaries and touched on subjects that most middle, class white Americans were about to be exposed to not only in music but culture as well
At 2.23 -he kisses his wedding ring. OMG. I love him. His love for Iman was so beautiful. In the midst of singing about racial divide and the LA riots - he is grounded by his own love.
This feels like it was written yesterday. Every song that David wrote always touched on social issues such as racism. RIP David Bowie :( #BlackLivesMatter
@@davidprime6080 not all but a good part of them actually used a lot of metaphors to describe things like these, for example once I heard that Let's dance could be a metaphor about the poverty
i think it's the best album bowie did after "scary monsters" though i did like the stuff he did with tin machine as he would start to make better albums though "black tie white noise" is often overlooked. i love it from start to finish.
"I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership." -70s cokehead Bowie "Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars." -70s cockhead Bowie
Yeah, David Bowie was universal and that's what made him so fucking cool. You dig? He gave us Luther Vandross. Luther sang backup on YOUNG AMERICANS LP (1975) before going solo. Facts!
He never rested on his legend... always new, great displays of talent, intellect, & male beauty... this track is another hidden gem... Nile Rodgers once again the guiding hand...
Nothing like seeing Bowie holding his sax..... he has the most mesmerising presence....I absolutely adore the modulations in this piece. Bowie is a master at modulation..... he just glides so suavely into them, super smooth...... 🙏💙💛

What's going on? There'll be some blood no doubt about it But we'll come thru don't doubt it I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me You won't kill me You won't kill me But I look into your eyes And I wonder sometimes Oh Lord, just let him see me Lord, Lord just let him hear me Let him call me brother Let him put his arms around me Let him put his hands together. Reach over race and hold each other's hands Walk thru the nite thinking we are the world Woa! What's going on? There'll be some blood no doubt about it But we'll come thru don't doubt it I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me You won't kill me You won't kill me But I wonder why Yes, and I wonder why sometimes They'll show us how to break the rules But never how to make the rules Reduce us down to witless punks Facist cries both black and white, who's got the blood, who's got the gun. Putting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise (Just a fool!)
Aaaand another one........! I am enjoying these new uploads. Bowie as always is so darned handsome, so shamelessly beautiful. And his voice so lovely and unique, the way he uses it so versatile. Genius & legend, an authentic artist. David is simply an absolute feast for all the senses. Love you, David, you wonderful soul you!
I was thinking the same. I'm a straight man and I can see he looked good in this video. He also happened to marry a very well known model, so it makes sense.
David was a truly great musician. This album probably isnt even in the top 10 of the best albums he produced. Yet there is still a lot of great music in Black Tie White Noise. Personally i think he made his best music in the 90s.
I remember discovering this song as a teenager around 1994 because this video clip was on the cover CD of a computer magazine that my dad bought, wasn't really my usual kind of music that I liked at the time but can still remember it really growing on me after a few listens. It feels nostalgic switching to 144p to relive that experience :D
I knew this song is nice, but Bowie surprises me again again how good his songs really are, they get better and better, this don't sounds like 9ts, that sounds like the Bowie. Just cool.
I had this albumon a casette. I got on a black market in high school some 25 yrs ago... I had never had the privilege to see the video. THANK YOU! BTW, in the communist country where I gew up, it was extremely difficult to get music legally (I'm not a hustler).
I'm amazed at Bowie's guts to say it like it is, In 3:26 he does the black power AND nazi salutes when he sings the line: Fascist cries both black and white, who's got the blood. Who's got the gun.
Outstanding song ❤💯% 👌🏻 WOW! The lyrics are amazingly amazing hahaha I really love ❤️ it, it's so sweet and that Saxophone 🎷 for goodness sake 🙏🏻 nothing else to say just one thing more, I don't know why the music of the song reminds me another one, and I honestly don't know which one... Arrrggg
Isn't David so phenomenal such talent and genius that can't be measured through his legacy. His voice, his looks, everything about him is the personification of absolute perfection. 😘❤️💗💖👌 xxxxxx

DAVID BOWIE - THE CHAMELEON OF POP ROCK David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 - 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie (/ˈboʊi/ BOH-ee), was an English singer-songwriter and actor. A leading figure in the music industry, he is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Bowie 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. Bowie developed an interest in music from an early age. He studied art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963. "Space Oddity", released in 1969, was his first top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart. After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The character was spearheaded by the success of Bowie's single "Starman" and album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which won him widespread popularity. In 1975, Bowie's style shifted towards a sound he characterised as "plastic soul", initially alienating many of his UK fans but garnering him his first major US crossover success with the number-one single "Fame" and the album Young Americans. In 1976, Bowie starred in the cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and released Station to Station. In 1977, he again changed direction with the electronic-inflected album Low, the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that came to be known as the "Berlin Trilogy". "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise. After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had three number-one hits: the 1980 single "Ashes to Ashes", its album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), and "Under Pressure" (a 1981 collaboration with Queen). He achieved massive commercial success in the 1980s starting with Let's Dance (1983). Between 1988 and 1992, he fronted the hard rock band Tin Machine before resuming his solo career in 1993. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle. He also continued acting; his roles included Major Jack Celliers in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth (1986), Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), and Nikola Tesla in The Prestige (2006), among other film and television appearances and cameos. He stopped touring after 2004 and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006. In 2013, Bowie returned from a decade-long recording hiatus with The Next Day. He remained musically active until his death from liver cancer at his home in New York City. He died two days after both his 69th birthday and the release of his final album, Blackstar (2016). During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide, made him one of the best-selling musicians 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 ranked him among the greatest artists in history. As of 2022, Bowie was the best-selling vinyl artist of the 21st century. 👑💯‼️♥️💯‼️And I have the great honor of having in my discography six studio CD-albums by the chameleon of Pop Rock. Therefore, I have three units of LET'S DANCE (1983), simply the greatest commercial success of Mr. David Bowie, more than ten million copies sold worldwide. Then I have BLACK TIE WHITE NOISE (1993), just a single unit of this CD-Album. And finally, at least so far, two units of the last studio work, two units of this CD-Album, and the last of his artistic career, entitled BLACKSTAR (2016), edited the day before his death in January 2016! Rest in peace, David Bowie! I'll never forget you! 👑💯‼️♥️💯‼️ Black Tie White Noise is the 18th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 5 April 1993 through Savage Records in the United States and Arista Records in the United Kingdom. Conceived following the disbandment of Bowie's rock band Tin Machine and his marriage to model Iman, it was recorded throughout 1992 between studios in Montreux, Los Angeles and New York City. Bowie co-produced with his Let's Dance (1983) collaborator Nile Rodgers, who voiced dissatisfaction with the project in later decades. The album features several guest appearances, including previous collaborators Mike Garson and Mick Ronson, and new arrivals Lester Bowie and Chico O'Farrill. Inspired to write the title track after witnessing the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Black Tie White Noise is primarily separated into themes of racial harmony and David's marriage to Iman. It features prevalent saxophone work from Bowie and a wide variety of musical styles, from art rock, electronic and soul, to jazz, pop and hip-hop influences. It also contains multiple instrumentals and cover versions. The album's lead single "Jump They Say" alludes to Bowie's step-brother Terry, who died in 1985. Released amidst the rise of Britpop in the UK, Black Tie White Noise initially received favourable reviews from music critics, who praised its experimentation but criticised its lack of cohesion. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, with each of its three singles reaching the UK top 40. Its promotion in America was stalled following the dissolution of Savage Records, resulting in the album's rarity until later reissues. Instead of touring, Bowie released an accompanying film of the same name to support it. Despite mixed assessments from critics in subsequent decades, Black Tie White Noise marked the beginning of Bowie's commercial revival and improved critical standing following a string of poorly received projects. An interactive CD-ROM based on the album was released in 1994. It was reissued by EMI in 2003 and remastered in 2021 as part of the box set Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001). Black Tie White Noise received generally favourable reviews from music critics on release. Some reviewers considered it Bowie's finest since Scary Monsters. Biographer Christopher Sandford states it was praised for its experimentation but criticised for an overall lack of cohesion. David Sinclair of Q magazine argued Black Tie "picks up where Scary Monsters left off" and "if any collection of songs could reinstate [Bowie's] godhead status, then this is it." He primarily criticised the lack of "obvious" hit singles, but felt the record was full of "imagination and charm" and deemed Bowie's saxophone performances some of his best to date. A reviewer for Billboard was also positive, describing it as a whole "trail-blazing and brilliant", further noting "inspired covers" and echoes of Let's Dance, Scary Monsters and Ziggy Stardust (1972). Meanwhile, Rolling Stone's Paul Evans hailed it "one of the smartest records of a very smart career", finding references to the artist's previous works as well as new innovations that "point the way to future risk, to brave changes yet to come". Richard Cromelin of the Los Angeles Times considered it Bowie's "most committed-sounding music in years". Other reviewers were more negative. A reviewer for Vox magazine found the radio-friendly singles calculated and Bowie's saxophone playing inferior to his musical contributions on "Heroes" (1977), but felt its "bent, ethnic-sounding notes create the album's most atmospheric moments". Dave Thompson found it lacked innovation in The Rocket. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker described Black Tie as a "stultifying yet annoying" record save for "Miracle Goodnight" and "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday". Veteran critic Robert Christgau said in The Village Voice that the music was Bowie's "most arresting" because of its dance beats and electronic textures, but reacted negatively towards the lyrics. 👑💯‼️♥️💯‼️

1990s was one of the best Bowie eras. Truly found himself and love
I know you won't kill me......but I look into your eyes and I wonder why sometimes ..... what's going on...........
You could've just stopped after saying he was the coolest man ever😎

This song carries a lot of relevance right now.
I was thinking that. Actually this was inspired by riots from the Rodney King murder in LA.
Not to mention the nuance that seems to be lacking nowadays.

The saxophone is such a SEXY instrument.....especially when David Bowie plays it!!!
My favorite parts are when Bowie plays his saxophone!!
i love his saxophone playing. it reminds of the way george harrison does the slide guitars as there's just something so pure when you hear it.
His sax playing was VERY prominent on this album.
Possibly more so than any other.
@@thevoid99 I'll drink to that.
Two of the sexiest things on earth : David Bowie and the saxophone
Bowie was blending rap, rock and pop this lon ago, for dealing with these impotant matters... Oh, dear.

Onde o Bowie estiver, meu ouvido vai estar por lá. hehe
He was truly a great artist.
Isso é verdade, Bowie é fantástico 💙
Eu ACABEI de ouvir um podcast teu kkkk

Just love the kissing of his wedding ring at 2:32.
Very underrated album and song.
Von great album, songs like You've been around are just amazing
i think it's the best album bowie did after "scary monsters" though i did like the stuff he did with tin machine as he would start to make better albums though "black tie white noise" is often overlooked. i love it from start to finish.
I remember reading this was one of David favourite Albums.
I wondered how many comments it would take for me to read 'underrated' somewhere. Same old same old. Zzzzzz
The album went to #1 in the U.K. though. Good enough!
Everyone should like David Bowie.

You just nailed what David Bowie was all about.
David you are so handsome and talented!
bowie gifted us with the "OH LORD" once again.
Yeah, David Bowie was universal and that's what made him so fucking cool. You dig? He gave us Luther Vandross. Luther sang backup on YOUNG AMERICANS LP (1975) before going solo. Facts!
When I first saw this so many years ago, I was blown away. Still am, to this day. Bowie & Al-b... classic
i have only now seen this video. i had the original album, with 2 different versions of 'jump they say'
way back when rock & hip-hop crossover collaborations were actually memorable-tasteful
yeah this hiphop is bangin!!!!🤣🤣🤣
He never rested on his legend... always new, great displays of talent, intellect, & male beauty... this track is another hidden gem... Nile Rodgers once again the guiding hand...
Both song AND video are so loaded with meaning. symbolism and a brilliant message. The homage to Marvin Gaye is my favorite touch - "What's Goin On".
Im sweating, he was so handsome
I mean, if his corpse was prepared right, probably still is.
Nothing like seeing Bowie holding his sax..... he has the most mesmerising presence....I absolutely adore the modulations in this piece. Bowie is a master at modulation..... he just glides so suavely into them, super smooth...... 🙏💙💛
LYRICS:
Getting my facts from a Benetton ad
I'm lookin' thru African eyes
Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire
I've got a face, not just my race, Bang
Bang I've got you babe
Sun comes up and the man goes down
And the woman comes again
Just an hour or so to be safe from fear
Then we jump thru hoops, we're
divisible now, just disappear
We reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Then die in the flames singing "we
shall overcome"
Whoa! What's going on?
There'll be some blood no doubt about it
But we'll come thru don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know
you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me
But I look into your eyes
And I wonder sometimes
Oh Lord, just let him see me
Lord, Lord just let him hear me
Let him call me brother
Let him put his arms around me
Let him put his hands together.
Reach over race and hold each
other's hands
Walk thru the nite thinking we are the world
Woa! What's going on?
There'll be some blood no doubt about it
But we'll come thru don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me
But I wonder why
Yes, and I wonder why sometimes
They'll show us how to break the rules
But never how to make the rules
Reduce us down to witless punks
Facist cries both black and
white, who's got the blood,
who's got the gun.
Putting on the black tie, cranking
out the white noise
(Just a fool!)
Lennon called me brother etc.....
I think this is one of my favorite songs from Bowie
My heart. David is my hero, role model and king. I miss him so much and seeing his face is exactly what I needed today
It's been THIRTY YEARS and I'm just NOW finding out that Al B Sure sang part of this song. The whole time, I thought it was just Bowie!
Aaaand another one........! I am enjoying these new uploads.
Bowie as always is so darned handsome, so shamelessly beautiful.
And his voice so lovely and unique, the way he uses it so versatile.
Genius & legend, an authentic artist.
David is simply an absolute feast for all the senses.
Love you, David, you wonderful soul you!

Hey..... so um.....
Yeah no, don't have the heart to break the news.....
David was a truly great musician. This album probably isnt even in the top 10 of the best albums he produced. Yet there is still a lot of great music in Black Tie White Noise. Personally i think he made his best music in the 90s.
A great collaboration David Bowie and Al B Sure
My favorite song of the album
One of the most underrated albums.
youve got to be shitting me
Grossly underrated Bowie track & video... not an easy vocal duet, with all its parts & harmonies... Nile Rodgers organizes it with funky perfection
I goddamn love this album, it's Soo underrated
I remember being a little girl and being so attracted to David Bowie before I understood attraction and all of that, and now I understand why 😍
Finally a good quality version! This is one of my favourite Bowie songs. He really was always ahead of the times 💔
OMFG
GENIUS.
INCREDIBLE VOCAL PERFORMANCES FROM BOTH OF THEM!
❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most important songs of his entire career if not The Most important.
Thank you David and thank to our uploader! Much love to you 😇
A superb album. Bowie was a genius visionary....
youve got to be shitting me
Been listening to this album since they put "Jump They Say" on this channel. It's such a cool album!
BTWN is underrated
I hope Strangers When We Meet, Thursday's Child, Little Wonder and The Heart's Filthy Lesson will get reuploaded next
National Health Eyeball we definitely need some videos from Outside especially Strangers When We Meet and Heart's Filthy Lesson, very uderrated album
Hallo Spaceboy, Dead man walking, survive and maybe the unreleased video of The pretty things are going to hell.
Thursday’s Child is one of my favorite of him, I hope they reuploaded it
Im gonna say the exact same shit xddd
National Health Eyeball, Fingers are crossed! (Just in case)
From a brilliant and under-appreciated album
youve got to be shitting me
Al B. Sure??! I never knew he worked with Bowie, nice discovery.
Tim Scott I had completely forgotten about this. Haven’t heard the song in years
According to UNSUNG it was suppose to be his Comeback but unfortunately it didn't happen.
I had no idea either & I love it.
Kinda sad how he isn't credited here at all...
holy shit that one is intense, I love the chord progressions
I love this song. And David's looks...just wow. Timeless icon
Wow.....fantastico!...love Bowie forever
Good gawd, I love David Bowie's music.

GREAT ONE
Love this album, very underrated.
Best song of all time
I knew this song is nice, but Bowie surprises me again again how good his songs really are, they get better and better, this don't sounds like 9ts, that sounds like the Bowie. Just cool.
This song couldn't be more current #BlackLivematters #humanLivesMatter
No lives matter. We are all but a corrupt dream. Man is a meaningless, fragile illusion and nothing matters.
Um...hasn't black oppression been around for centuries?
Rest In Peace ❤️
Great song. Fantastic Lyrics, With Harmonies that are second to none. Miss you mate.🙏🏴
I had this albumon a casette. I got on a black market in high school some 25 yrs ago... I had never had the privilege to see the video. THANK YOU! BTW, in the communist country where I gew up, it was extremely difficult to get music legally (I'm not a hustler).
I'm amazed at Bowie's guts to say it like it is, In 3:26 he does the black power AND nazi salutes when he sings the line: Fascist cries both black and white, who's got the blood. Who's got the gun.
I think this might be my favourite Bowie single
I feel sorry for your ears
One of my favorite songs well God bless bow and Godspeed you know what I mean
Gánster bowie is my fave ❤
I loved this when it came out circa 93
or exactly 93
So missed 💔
Such an artist.
Outstanding song ❤💯% 👌🏻

[Intro]
(Yo yo yo yo yo)
(Yo yo yo yo yo)
(Yo yo yo yo yo)
[Verse 1: Al B. Sure! & Backing Vocalists]
Getting my facts from a Benetton ad
Looking through African eyes
Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire (Black tie, white noise)
I've got a face, not just my race, bang bang
I've got you, babe
[Refrain: Backing Vocalists & David Bowie]
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
[Verse 2: David Bowie & Backing Vocalists]
Sun comes up and the man goes down
Woman comes again
Just an hour or so to be safe from fear (Black tie, white noise)
Then we jump through hoops, we're divisible now
Just disappear
[Refrain: Backing Vocalists & David Bowie]
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
[Chorus: David Bowie & Al B. Sure!]
We reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Then die in the flames singing "We Shall Overcome"
What's going on?
There'll be some blood, no doubt about it
But we'll come through, don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know I won't kill you
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me, no
But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimes
[Refrain: Backing Vocalists & David Bowie]
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
[Bridge: David Bowie & Al B. Sure!]
Oh Lord, just let him see me
Lord, Lordy, let him hear me
Let him call me brother
Let him put his arms around me
Let him put his hands together
[Chorus: David Bowie & Al B. Sure!]
Reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Walk through the night thinking "We Are the World"
What's going on?
There will be some blood, no doubt about it
We shall come through, don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know I won't kill you
And I turn my back for I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me, no
But I wonder why
Yes, I wonder why sometimes
[Refrain: Backing Vocalists & David Bowie]
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
[Verse 3: David Bowie & Backing Vocalists]
They'll show us how to break the rules
But never how to make the rules
Reduce us down to witless punks
(Black tie, white noise)
Fascist cries, both black and white
Who's got the blood? Who's got the gun?
[Refrain: Backing Vocalists & David Bowie]
Putting on the black tie
Cranking out the white noise
[Outro: David Bowie & Backing Vocalists]
Cranking out
Cranking out
Cranking out white noise
Cranking out
Cranking out

DAVID BOWIE - THE CHAMELEON OF POP ROCK
David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 - 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie (/ˈboʊi/ BOH-ee), was an English singer-songwriter and actor. A leading figure in the music industry, he is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Bowie 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. Bowie developed an interest in music from an early age. He studied art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963. "Space Oddity", released in 1969, was his first top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart. After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The character was spearheaded by the success of Bowie's single "Starman" and album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which won him widespread popularity. In 1975, Bowie's style shifted towards a sound he characterised as "plastic soul", initially alienating many of his UK fans but garnering him his first major US crossover success with the number-one single "Fame" and the album Young Americans. In 1976, Bowie starred in the cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and released Station to Station. In 1977, he again changed direction with the electronic-inflected album Low, the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that came to be known as the "Berlin Trilogy". "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise. After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had three number-one hits: the 1980 single "Ashes to Ashes", its album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), and "Under Pressure" (a 1981 collaboration with Queen). He achieved massive commercial success in the 1980s starting with Let's Dance (1983). Between 1988 and 1992, he fronted the hard rock band Tin Machine before resuming his solo career in 1993. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle. He also continued acting; his roles included Major Jack Celliers in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth (1986), Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), and Nikola Tesla in The Prestige (2006), among other film and television appearances and cameos. He stopped touring after 2004 and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006. In 2013, Bowie returned from a decade-long recording hiatus with The Next Day. He remained musically active until his death from liver cancer at his home in New York City. He died two days after both his 69th birthday and the release of his final album, Blackstar (2016). During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide, made him one of the best-selling musicians 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 ranked him among the greatest artists in history. As of 2022, Bowie was the best-selling vinyl artist of the 21st century. 👑💯‼️♥️💯‼️And I have the great honor of having in my discography six studio CD-albums by the chameleon of Pop Rock. Therefore, I have three units of LET'S DANCE (1983), simply the greatest commercial success of Mr. David Bowie, more than ten million copies sold worldwide. Then I have BLACK TIE WHITE NOISE (1993), just a single unit of this CD-Album. And finally, at least so far, two units of the last studio work, two units of this CD-Album, and the last of his artistic career, entitled BLACKSTAR (2016), edited the day before his death in January 2016! Rest in peace, David Bowie! I'll never forget you! 👑💯‼️♥️💯‼️
Black Tie White Noise is the 18th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 5 April 1993 through Savage Records in the United States and Arista Records in the United Kingdom. Conceived following the disbandment of Bowie's rock band Tin Machine and his marriage to model Iman, it was recorded throughout 1992 between studios in Montreux, Los Angeles and New York City. Bowie co-produced with his Let's Dance (1983) collaborator Nile Rodgers, who voiced dissatisfaction with the project in later decades. The album features several guest appearances, including previous collaborators Mike Garson and Mick Ronson, and new arrivals Lester Bowie and Chico O'Farrill. Inspired to write the title track after witnessing the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Black Tie White Noise is primarily separated into themes of racial harmony and David's marriage to Iman. It features prevalent saxophone work from Bowie and a wide variety of musical styles, from art rock, electronic and soul, to jazz, pop and hip-hop influences. It also contains multiple instrumentals and cover versions. The album's lead single "Jump They Say" alludes to Bowie's step-brother Terry, who died in 1985. Released amidst the rise of Britpop in the UK, Black Tie White Noise initially received favourable reviews from music critics, who praised its experimentation but criticised its lack of cohesion. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, with each of its three singles reaching the UK top 40. Its promotion in America was stalled following the dissolution of Savage Records, resulting in the album's rarity until later reissues. Instead of touring, Bowie released an accompanying film of the same name to support it. Despite mixed assessments from critics in subsequent decades, Black Tie White Noise marked the beginning of Bowie's commercial revival and improved critical standing following a string of poorly received projects. An interactive CD-ROM based on the album was released in 1994. It was reissued by EMI in 2003 and remastered in 2021 as part of the box set Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001). Black Tie White Noise received generally favourable reviews from music critics on release. Some reviewers considered it Bowie's finest since Scary Monsters. Biographer Christopher Sandford states it was praised for its experimentation but criticised for an overall lack of cohesion. David Sinclair of Q magazine argued Black Tie "picks up where Scary Monsters left off" and "if any collection of songs could reinstate [Bowie's] godhead status, then this is it." He primarily criticised the lack of "obvious" hit singles, but felt the record was full of "imagination and charm" and deemed Bowie's saxophone performances some of his best to date. A reviewer for Billboard was also positive, describing it as a whole "trail-blazing and brilliant", further noting "inspired covers" and echoes of Let's Dance, Scary Monsters and Ziggy Stardust (1972). Meanwhile, Rolling Stone's Paul Evans hailed it "one of the smartest records of a very smart career", finding references to the artist's previous works as well as new innovations that "point the way to future risk, to brave changes yet to come". Richard Cromelin of the Los Angeles Times considered it Bowie's "most committed-sounding music in years". Other reviewers were more negative. A reviewer for Vox magazine found the radio-friendly singles calculated and Bowie's saxophone playing inferior to his musical contributions on "Heroes" (1977), but felt its "bent, ethnic-sounding notes create the album's most atmospheric moments". Dave Thompson found it lacked innovation in The Rocket. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker described Black Tie as a "stultifying yet annoying" record save for "Miracle Goodnight" and "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday". Veteran critic Robert Christgau said in The Village Voice that the music was Bowie's "most arresting" because of its dance beats and electronic textures, but reacted negatively towards the lyrics. 👑💯‼️♥️💯‼️
