Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar 🎸
Yes the entire album and was supposed to have been in the touring band .
Glad you pointed that out ✌️
For real ???!!!!!!! I didn’t know that get out
Carlos Alomar on rhythm guitar.
Wasn't it Nile Rodgers?
David Bowie is EVERYTHING…including funk. Enigma. Drama. Rock. Soul. Disco. Pop. He is everything. R.I.P.
When I think of the most creative, wide-ranging artists, David Bowie, Thom Yorke (Radiohead), and Daniel Ash (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets/Tones on Tail) are at the top of the list.
I can't believe how solid Jay looks nowadays. Compare his body with just a few years ago. The man is doing some serious training. He's huge.
and acting for shits and giggles.
Don't forget jazz!
Newbies: What is Bowie's genre?
Me: Yes!
Lead guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughan
Rhythm guitar: Nile Rodgers
Bass: Carmine Rojas
Drums: Omar Hakim, Happy Birthday Omar (February 12, 1959)
Yep, teaming a genius up with another genius like Nile (behind all the funky Chic music) was just pure 80s Gold.
It doesn't get much more talented.
❤❤❤
Niles teams up with Keith Urban (county artist) and its awsome! Anything Niles touches is golden!
Niles Rodgers of CHIC fame is a hot producer - Diana Ross, Madonna, Bowie, Sister Sledge, Duran Duran, Daft Funk, you name it
Bowie+SRV+Nile Rodgers = Eargasm
If I didn’t already know that was SRV, I might very well think it was Albert Collins. Of course, any way you slice it, both were masters.
*ALL VASTLY OVERRATED*
@MattSingh1 oh you poor person tone daef are you ?
@@MattSingh1always that one person
My neighbor's 11 year old daughter was waiting for the bus this morning while I was walking my dog (who has one brown and one blue eye). She told me she was listening to Star Man and asked if I named the dog after David Bowie. She restored my faith in the youth of America!
My doddle dog's name is Ziggy Stardust. But her eyes are brown. I love that the youth have found Bowie.
Although Bowies eyes were not different colours . A blow to the eye caused one Iris to be bigger than the other giving the illusion of one blue one brown eye.😊
@@korndogsmom
I had a very special cat named Ziggy Stardust! Anything with fur was his new best friend. I had him for 14 years. It's been 7 years since he passed away & I still miss him like crazy. ❤️
Great kids… come from great parents. It’s our job to raise our kids the right way.
The kitten delivery system sent me a beautiful and cool little guy after the unexpected news of Bowie's death, so the name choice was obvious. I read Bowie loved cats, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind I gave his name to this very special boy.
I cannot overstate just how incredibly popular this was back in the 80s.
My comment says the same thing. It wasn't the classic Bowie from the past, but it dominated MTV and radio.
Absolutely! Along with Modern Love and China Girl. This was and still is a great album!
I was in college and totally into 80s Bowie.
The Summer of 83 was Epic: Michael Jackson, The Police , David Bowie and the Second British Invasion via MTV.
When Bowie says, "Let's Dance", you dance. Great intrumentation, percussion, horns, guitar and that unmistakable voice. It's a 10.
Bowie has many funky and soulful tracks: Fame, Golden Years, Young Americans, Ashes To Ashes, Stay, Sound And Vision, China Girl, Fashion, Somebody Up There Likes Me,..
Exactly what I was thinking.
@@sarahjane8146 its actually the main genre I think when I think of Bowie haha, because its my favorite ers of him. Of course glam rock would be the other one.
Nice list....I will add "Right" and "Win" off Young Americans.....so funky!
@@wpollock1 Yes I love all of those songs on Young Americans!
Stay is one of my favorites ❤
Modern Love is another big hit of his from the 80's. Fame is a great song from the 70's.
Great track , also "china girl".
100% Modern Love is AWESOME, my fave on the album!
@@shelq3814”Modern Love” is not only my absolute favorite David Bowie song, but definitely in my top 20 songs of all time. One I play to dance to, sing along with, and help myself feel better, no matter my mood.
That and the Cat People song, putting out a fire with gasoline.
That'll get you to the church on time.
80s dance classic with Stevie ray on guitar
I only learned about that earlier today. It makes sense when hearing it.
@@miconis123 Bowie is really what launched SRV into prominence. Before this nobody knew who he was. Soon after everyone would know.
Exactly. It was always a sore spot with Bowie to talk about. Have a book of the Serious Moonlight tour where David briefly talks about it.@@beachbumsailordude
No way! Never thought I’d love this song even more, and knowing this, ya, I can, and do. ❤🔥
Boy: DAVID had a GOOD EAR, right?? RIP to them, BOTH!!
David Bowie was probably the most important artist of the last century.
There will never be another Bowie ever.
That's taking it too far. He was good, but important? I don't think so.
Elvis Presley and the Beatles dwarf everyone when it comes to influence in the last century.
I would say one of the most important. There are many great ones and he is definitely one of them.
It is amazing just how many times I have heard that statement about hundreds of different artiest. Not to mention the dozens of time on this channel alone.
Yes a fantastic song, my personal fav from David Bowie.
Still some of these statements are getting old. As it will change from person to person, may well be your favourite, certainly not mine. however I did buy this song and still play it today.
Someone smarter than me said the world lost a colour when Bowie died. Pretty much sums it up.
David Bowie is the ultimate rabbit hole..... from the 1970's through 2010's, he evolved in so many ways. Enjoy the ride
David Bowie - Little China Girl / Bluejean
Yes!
Both great songs 🎵
Cant hear this one without listening to China Girl next!.
His sexiest vocals!
~Red
Let's Dance CD, still have it, never getting rid of it.
Oh yes!
If you like Bowie's "deeper voice", I, then, recommend his song "China Girl".
Yes! And he does his deeper voice in his earlier 1980's "Ashes to Ashes" and "Look back in Anger" from 1979 - it's best to watch the official music videos for those songs.
I was never a fan of China Girl.
Yes!!!
@@laurabailey1054I prefer the original version by Iggy Pop.
@@laurabailey1054try the iggy pop version from the idiot.
Hard to believe that there is anyone who has not heard this song at some point in their life.
I was thinking the same, especially in English speaking countries. Makes you wonder about the validity of some of these channels 🤔
i like this channel a lot, but never hearing let's dance, come off it.
Depending on where you live and who you hang around with it’s very possible you never heard this song before. Me myself was blessed to have grown up on this music.
@@geminilove7634 Impossible.
Let's Dance has been sampled by various artists including Lady Gaga, Puff Daddy and others.
It has been featured in films, TV commercials, and popular video games.
@neilmartin99 If I remember correctly, I think even ITV played it during the "highlights" of the Mike Tyson Vs Bonecrusher Smith fight in 1987, and if you know anything about that "fight" you'll understand why 😂
Bowie changed the face of music . The man. His alter egos are legends . Beautiful soft hard tune. Rock .
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Young Americans"!!!
Yes, with Luther Vandross on backing vocals.
I've been wanting that song for long!! I told Amber it's saxophone all the way through! That is my favorite Bowie song. 😊
Actually any track from the Young Americans album!
Ditto to all the above
Luther also did the arrangement.
This is 40 years old this year. Proof great music never dies.
41 years old this year. Released 1983.
@@SteveJesson1 oh,no...this guy had to set me straight ....
@@brianmcmaster5112 Because it's true and you made a mistake. Own it!
@@idanwillenchik3050 You seem more invested in this than I do,lol. Jesus,relax!
@@brianmcmaster5112
No relaxing when it comes to 1983. It was the greatest year in music, period.
This is the type of music I was listening to back in the '80s as a 13 year-old teen. '80s was the best time for music.
Me too! Takes me back to my best friend’s rec room, listening to the radio….
Bowie is one of the most influential musicians ever as he changes genre to suit the time. From Ziggy 70s, through punk, newave, 80s synth like "Ashes to Ashes" followed by "Fasion" the same year (1980) and onto this funk style as well as stuff like "China Girl".He was so infuential to many styles that everyone from genres of Rock, Synth, Punk, Funk, Pop...everything were gutted at his death. RIP Legend.
Was stationed in Berlin from 1977 to 1981 and lived in an apartment on Urban Strasse. One day, my two sons and I got on the bus at Hermannplatz on the way to base. The second stop a man and boy got on and sat near us. The boy heard my boys speaking english and came over to talk to them - they were of an age . He had a slight British accent. A couple minutes passed and the dad came over and sat next to me and started a conversation. It was Bowie. I often saw him on that bus and he always said hello and we would pass a few minutes in conversation. Nice guy.
Wow!
Station to Station
So jealous! I lived in Berlin during those years and am the same age as Bowie’s son. How cool would it have been to live near the same bus line? My dad was in the Army, too. We lived in Dueppel and we later moved next to Andrews Barracks.
That where his Heroin Years...
That little boy being film producer Duncan Jones, of course.
This isn't just Bowie.
This is Bowie with Nile Rogers! Nile always brings the funk. Give Duran Duran's Notorious, which he produced, a deep dive.
You should also check out the original album version of this, where the horns go wild. Another good follow up is Jump.
Notorious is Gold
Also Grace Jones' "I'm No Perfect (But I'm Peerfect For You), INXS "Original Sin", Madonna's "Like A Virgjn" album B-52's "Love Shack," Mick Jagger "Just Another Night" and it's album, and the Vaughan Brothers album before SRV died.
I saw Nile Rodgers talk about "Let's Dance." When David Bowie first demoed the song, he played an acoustic guitar and it sounded like a folk song. Rodgers got hold of it, played jazz chords up the neck of his electric guitar with a funk rhythm and turned into this great dance song.
Yes Nile Rodgers...the hitmaker...his rabbit hole is vast....
They've done Notorious: ua-cam.com/video/b37MnlYu7Fc/v-deo.html
Bowie was one of the greatest artists we will ever know. Everything he created is great ❤ miss him so much. Golden years!
My favorite David Bowie song is Fame.
It was written by John Lennon
I remember when he sang it on Soul Train
Great song! ❤
Co written with Bowie although DB said JLs contribution was minimal as in the title and a few lines @@axltyler
With the great Luther Vandross on backing vocals....a favorite of mine too!
This is probably my favorite 80s David Bowie song. It makes me feel 20 years old all over again!! That’s a great feeling too! 🥳
He had even bigger hits in the 70s Rebel Rebel ZIGGY .Heros My favorite is Changes by Bowie released in 1971. I was a big David Bowie fan in the 70s
I was stick hitting the air 🥁, necking out the solo 🎸, steppin’ the two by four 👠, rolling those shoulders and swaying those hips.
It was impossible not to dance to it like I was young at heart again (same thing happens with China Girl, Under Pressure and Dancing in the Streets).
David Bowie knows how to move people, in the best ways.
My favorite Bowie song of all and one of my top 20 favorite songs of all time.
David Bowie was a magician, year after year he just kept morphing and reeling in a new generation of fans that spanned his whole career, cut cruelly short. I spent all my 80's teenage Saturday job money buying up his back catalogue after this came out, all on vinyl. and learning to play all the piano parts, picking them out painstakingly note by note. I had a 'my life is now complete' moment when I unexpectedly worked with him very briefly in the 90s and later with his son, both the most beautiful people. Thank you for reacting to him again.
shot in February 1983 in Australia, together with "China Girl", after Bowie officially signed with EMI. Co-directed by Bowie and frequent video collaborator David Mallet, the video starred Terry Roberts and Joelene King, two students from Sydney's Aboriginal Islander Dance Theatre.
As others have mentioned, you gotta check out David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel." Classic! 💯👍🔥🤘
Yes. My favorite Bowie song. The night he died, I played the video on UA-cam over and over and over again. REBEL REBEL!
My favorite
This almost toppled my favorite Bowie song, Modern Love, from its pedestal
The original video was filmed in an outback pub in Australia, the Tennant Creek Hotel and also in Sydney - fantastic work!
Bowie actually makes an appearance on Soul Train and performs his hit Golden Years!
David Bowie did do everything, and he looked amazing doing all of it. No cooler man has ever walked this earth.
RIP David Bowie, one of the greats!
Incredible song! The LET'S DANCE album was huge for Bowie in the 80's. Of course MTV was a huge help in bringing artists to a new level. Bowie was huge in the early to mid 70's but had seen his popularity slow a bit into the late 70's. He took a hiatus to sober up and come clean of drugs but began exploring new sounds in Berlin with Brian Eno. He then got with Queen to make the song "Under Pressure" in 1980. But Bowie got with the one and only Nile Rodgers from the band Chic, who had started to produce a number of artists and took Bowie's sound to a new level of commercial success. It showed a new generation who he was and his popularity grew even more. This album was released in 1983 just as MTV was becoming a huge entity in American households. It spawned hits like this, "Modern Love", "China Girl" and "Cat People" but the entire album is brilliant.
He was considered the chameleon of his creations. Stevie Ray Vaughn plays guitar on this one, as well. All of his songs are pretty spectacular.
The Let's Dance Album gave him a string of single hits.
Yes, "Modern Love" is my other favorite.
His work with Nile Rogers is amazing! Same for Modonna: IE Like A Virgin, Material Girl . . .
@@beautifulportland9592- Replace Madonna with Diana Ross. The Diana Ross album was a million times better than that Madonna album.
Stevie Ray Vaughn is playing the guitar solo
MODERN LOVE is a MUST if you like LETS DANCE. Saxophones on steroids. 😊
Yeah, Modern Love is really good. It has a more up tempo beat to it.
Yeah, Modern Love is really good. It has a more up tempo beat to it.
One of Bowie's crown jewels, Bowie's 80's comeback. ⚡👑
This what you get when you work with Nile Rogers from Chic and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Bowie was a real deal genius, but he was also a very creative collaborator ✌️
Takes real confidence to bring in that sort of talent and trust that you wont be overshadowed.
One of David Bowie's best songs from the 80s!
David Bowie had several genre styles. And he excelled at them all.
David Bowie was one of the most talented musicians of the past century. I miss him.
Thank you Mister Nile Rodgers (Chic) for the new episode in David Bowie's career in the '80s
Can't go wrong with Nile Rogers producing . . . .
PREACH!!!!!
Supposedly Bowie said, "This was a Nile Rodgers album that I sang on." lol
Nile Rogers, you are deep and awesome, forever, with Bowie
Don't forget about his right hand man Bernard Edwards (Chic) he made some hit records too (Power Station, Duran Duran's A View to a Kill)
This was Bowie’s biggest commercial hit, and the music video was on constant replay on MTV…I miss the 80’s !
yeah i used to love watching the video!
I had a friend who said she literally ran into Bowie in Vegas. She apologized profusely. He simply looked at her and said, "Just put on your red shoes and dance baby" 😂
The unmistakable Nile Rodgers is all over this & we used to dance to it in the clubs in the 80’s, it was massive in the Uk ❤🎶
David Bowie and Pat Matheney.... This Is Not America. The FULL range of his amazing voice.
Yes. NEVER hear that song anymore. Bring it back!
"This Is Not America" from the movie "The Snowman and the Falcon" is one of my favorite movies of all time. he song used at the beginning and the reprise, which is more somber, when government is arresting is worth listening to & watching the movie, but makes perfect sense when you have watched it, based on the true story of Christopher Boyce (Timothy Hutton) and Andrew Daulton Lee (Sean Penn), who sold US security secrets to the Soviet Union.
I'm Afraid of Americans
@@jbellinger99 I know they're too friendly, huh! As an American, I have to say they're great, it's the government that's scary.
@@larryg7126 Almost, got it a little crossed up , Falcon & The Snowman.
Under the moonlight, the SERIOUS moonlight!
As opposed to the moonlight that just clowns around all the time.
I think Bowie's best songs were "Golden Years" and "Fame". For me, "Golden Years" is his best song.
You got it. Fame and Golden Years were his best.
When Madonna was getting ready to record her second album, they asked her who she wanted to work with and she said she wanted whoever produced David Bowie's Let's Dance album and that is how Like A Virgin came about.
I never saw Jay “get down” like this before to a song before and I never thought it would be a David Bowie song! I absolutely love the reaction!!
David Bowie changed his music look so many times. His music was always growing and expanding.
No wonder he and Freddie Mercury were friends.
more sophisticated over time
He was a true artist.
It's no mystery really. Bowie was a game changer who not only rolled with the trends but set trends himself in music & culture in society. Just saying.. +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls My Friends+ 🤘😜🤘
My absolute favorite song by David Bowie. I also enjoy listening to GOLDEN YEARS.
I heard that when I was 9 years old and it blew my mind.
SRV on guitar Rob Squad straight fire 😂 Nile Rodgers on bass 🔥
Fantastic Bowie!......👍
David hadn't had a hit for a while so he got Nile Rodgers of Chic fame to produce this song.
The clip for this was filmed in Australia while David was on tour.
Excellent choice people, Cheers Paul.❤️🎶📀👍😁
The video was filmed in an outback pub somewhere.
And the video for China Girl was filmed in NZ, Auckland I think
@@racheltrezise1132from memory the pub was in Sydney plus some country style scenes. Aboriginal young couple as the stars of the video ‘story’
Not true in the UK. Under Pressure went to the top of the charts in 1981, and his theme song to Cat People and Christmas duet with Bing Crosby were both UK hits in 1982, too.
Bowie the consummate professional and overall great guy. This was the beginning of his 80's comeback along with China Girl and Modern Love. Great choice!
Funk and dance only David Bowie can pull that off
His worldwide concert tour during this period took it's name from this song. It was called "The Serious Moonlight Tour" of 1983. Epic!
You gotta see the video for this, filmed in the Australian outback 😊 so great
Came here to say just this! The film clip is a work
of art!
yes the Carinda pub in the first part of the official video
I'm Aussie and I remember when he was in Australia filming the video. It was a huge hit, of course. I know that you guys would love "Fashion." Great bass and awesome song. I know you would also love the movie he was in, called "Labyrinth", unless you've already seen it. ❣
That is is Bowie I don't think they've reacted to.
@@seanswinton6242 I don't think so❣
Bowie lived in Sydney for a decade until 1992. He owned an apartment in Elizabeth Bay.
I forgot Fashion.
One of my favorite songs from Bowie including “China Girl”…
David Bowie could do anything. This was a dance hit in the 80s. We miss him so much.
Agree - he could even do justice to a cover tune! They need to check out his take on "I Feel Free" by Steppenwolf.
Niles Rodgers produced this and played rhythm guitar and his Chic bandmate Bernard Edwards played bass.
This was a massive hit!
Also Chic' s Tony Thompson was on drums. He also toured with Bowie.
I am speechless . . . . Love me some Nile and Bernard!
and the small bit of lead guitar is Stevie Ray Vaughn.
#1 hit from 1983. Excellent choice. 🙂
Remember it well. Had a great year in 83🥳.
I've read many time that he didn't like this song at all and it's his biggest popular success. Heard it so many times and watching you made me like it agan. I'm a huge fan of DB.
The Legend himself SRV on guitar . He was asked to be Bowie's guitarist for this tour after putting down the guitar tracks for him but declined . Less than a year later he released Texas Flood . In the video for the song Bowie appears with white gloves and a stratocaster as Stevie's lead part comes on .
Yes!!!! My husband and I have been singing this song for over 33 years, we especially belt out “The SERIOUS moonlight” ❤❤❤
Love it ❤
Sweet detail! Especially on the eve of Valentines Day! ❤
Bowie + SRV with Nile Rodgers as producer delivered one of David Bowie's best songs, IMO. So groovy.
EVERY ALBUM WAS NEW AND DIFFERENT, THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF BOWIE!!👍🏼👍🏼💋💋🎷🎷🎸🎸🎤
Bowie was a sign of an entertainer who saw many years of change through his career. In the music business, it's either get with what's popular and adapt or fall by the wayside. He was a survivor. There were so many different characters throughout his life.
The genius of Nile Rodgers and Stevie Ray on the outro Guitar
David Bowie: I'm Afraid Of Americans featuring Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails....the beat alone SLAMS!! and worth listening
You know a song is good when it makes you chair dance.
Back in the 80's when this was first released, I remember riding around town with friends with the windows down. We'd hear this on someone's car radio and quickly scan the stations to find who was playing it so we could turn it up loud. We'd be at intersections with four or five cars full of people dancing in the car and singing at the top of our lungs together. This was our social media and so fun!
His next single after this one, China Girl, was also a massive hit.
At the time a lot of people accused Bowie of selling out with the Let’s Dance album, but it definitely kept him in Wheaties for the rest of his life.
That’s Stevie Ray Vaughan with that screaming blues guitar playing with David every song on that let’s dance album has Stevie Ray playing tasty in the background and he was supposed to be on David’s let’s dance tour, but he backed out at the last minute to go record his first album Texas Flood
As a Gen X'er, I swear...the 80's and 90's had more timeless classics than just about ANY other era of music!
Produced by Nile Rogers of Chic. When Bowie asked him to produce the album, he gave him a copy of a Little Richard album from the 1950s and said “I want this.” A confused Nile Rogers - the king of funk - was at first baffled by the request … until he realised Bowie meant he wanted the sound of excitement, fire, danger, sex. Oh boy did he deliver.
My favorite quote ever. when Niles Rodgers was working on this album he laid down a track and was unsure about it. He asked Bowie, "Do you think it's too funky?" Bowie answered him, " Is that a thing darling?"
Thank you Rob Squad!! David Bowie is a legend. He was so great in the musical movie called "Labyrinth." He is, and always will be, the "Goblin King". :)
My favorite...Dance, Magic Dance!
Underground is my favorite from that movie
Jennifer Connolly will always be my favorite from that movie 🥸
When someone says "I was not expecting THIS!", they're probably listening to Bowie.
The hottest is his delivery of the line: "Under the moonlight...the serious moonlight."
The music video for this was shot in an outback Aussie pub. Well worth a look
It's Vital!
Nile Rodgers co-produced this album with David and his sound is all over the place. This was probably David's most commercial album and it picked him up and put him in the spotlight again after a few years of just hanging out. The album also featured really talented musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughn. David did not play any instruments on the recordings - only his voice.
Proof positive that great music doesn't die with the artists.
Surprised that Jay didn't spot this was used by Puff Daddy for his track Been Around The World. This Bowie track was produced by Nile Rodgers from Chic fame and featured a couple of other members of the group on Keyboard and Percussion, as well as Bernard Edwards on Bass and Tony Thomson on drums, literally the whole band, so that's where the "Funk element comes from"
Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar 🎸 is epic.
He was from my hometown Dallas, Texas
Gone way too soon
8-27-1990 at the age of 35
Rest In Peace 🌹🕊️
Check out David Bowie Modern Love and China girl (19830 too from this same album.
And Cat People.
This album is absolute killer: Let’s Dance, China Girl, Modern Love and more.
This MV for this song was on constant rotation back when MTV was cool. It brings back good memories.
"whoa, What?" - that pretty much captures everyone's reaction when this Bowie smash hit first blasted over the radio airwaves back in the day
My favorite of all David Bowie’s songs. Serious moonlight indeed. ❤
The WHOLE "Let'S Dance" album is fire. Awesome musicians, the guys from CHIC (Nile Rogers, Bernie Edwards, Thompson), SRV... A must listen to album.
Producer Nile Rogers elevates this bringing the funk to the Bowie genius.
Bowie was, is & will always be a music God! I grew up on his tunes and especially during his 80's era of music where he was known as "The Thin White Duke." Was extremely sad when he passed suddenly, but what a legacy he left behind. So unique and diverse. No one will ever touch his catalog.
YAY! About Time!! Love The 1980s!! Thanks for hearing our suggestions!!
Love David Bowie
Bowie's last album is simply superb.
Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar.Even though he only plays about four notes it catapulted him into the mainstream.
