With musical diversity, and a cover of David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel", which was originally planned to be the title track for the Oscar-winning film Boys Don't Cry. Before his death David Bowie was quoted as saying that this version was his favorite cover of his work.
Yeah, I had no idea this existed but being a Bowie fan and a Rickie fan came across it... and then went "Ohmylordy, Brian Setzer... and is that Syd Straw?!?"
I'm sure Mr David Bowie would be resting peacefully knowing Rickie-Lee Jones is doing his work proud, I can almost imagine him joining in with tis amazing work by our favourite Lady RLJ.
I knew Rickie was a consummate artist the first time she appeared on The Tonight Show with her red beret. Not only is she a treasure, she is an inspiration.
Damn, THIS is who sings “Rebel Rebel” on “Boys Don’t Cry” trailer on Amazon!! Nobody can figure out who it is as far as I’ve been able to find via search. You would almost have to know the band/singer name to find it even though the band/singer is who you are trying to find. I’m exhausted now from listening to almost every female cover of Rebel Rebel out there! Maybe this post will show in search now so everyone else, who haven’t given up, can find it.
Ooh, I've been lovin' Ricky since her first hit, 'Chuck E's In Love', way way back in, what, '77 ?? Love finding this old footage! She is one-of-a-kind, so unique, so original, so uncompromising in her artistry! And I've still got her first 3 vinyl albums.
Dig this, a lot!! Got here tracking Nathan Larson, (scored Boys Don't Cry) the tremendously underappreciated guitarist of DC's finest - Shudder To Think. You like remakes that are remade? Check Shudder's rendition of So Into You... 🥃🌷😊
Sexy and very nice. Rickie shows class. If you don´t like it, listen to Bowies version. The thing with UA-cam is that´s there is something for everyone.
Thanks for the info Coventry112! I see Jay Leno, so it must have been the Tonight show, but was this an impromptu gathering of serious talent just for this show or was this a tour introduction? Additionally, when was this I wonder?
WHEN AND WHERE WAS THIS PERFORMED? ALSO, WHO IS THE FEMALE BACK UP SINGER? I RECOGNIZE BRIAN SETZER ON GUITAR AND THE GUT BASS PLAYER BUT THATS ALL. GREAT VERSION OF THIS CLASSIC TUNE...GOOD POST, THANKS!
Sorry, but she can't sing. Weeeeeek voice. Lucky to be working with such great material. She does a nice job with her handling of the acoustic. And she's overwhelmed by/outsung by her backup.

I've loved her since the first time I ever heard her. Can't get enough of her.
She played it for me as a birthday request at an outdoor concert in Boone, NC, a few years ago. Love her version.

@@sclerismockrey8506 Yes
I just found this. Its unbelievable. I love it. She gives the song a different twist. I have always been a rickie lee jones fam.
Rickie Lee Jones looks so pretty
I'm sure Mr David Bowie would be resting peacefully knowing Rickie-Lee Jones is doing his work proud, I can almost imagine him joining in with tis amazing work by our favourite Lady RLJ.
i imagine he is listening to this version tonight, and loving it. R.I.P. David Bowie.
Bowie had said it was his favorite cover of his work!
@@shelleysherman2655 Played my little brother, (a big Stones fan) a version of Rickie Doing *sympathy for the devil".He is now a fan.
We survived….rebel rebel..🎶 Rickie bring it…still
Yes yes yes. It's my favorite Bowie cover...now
I knew Rickie was a consummate artist the first time she appeared on The Tonight Show with her red beret. Not only is she a treasure, she is an inspiration.
I love how she interprets her covers.
Yup. I love her cover of "Show Biz Kids" with Joe Jackson.
❤wow very tight ....vocals are excellent 👌 😮

Great version, and Bowie's all time favorite cover.
Excellent cover. Vocal, groove, all is perfect. Rickie is the best❤
True artist 🌼
ça me fait tellement plaisir de la voir reprendre cette chanson là .. Deux amours de jeunesse Rickie et David :)
during the years....she s been amazing, thanks for having such a wonderful musical heritage in her, and her own awesome songs.
This is so badass!
What a great version of RR. Love R.Lee. x
So wonderful
I just discovered she was the voice over on the Orb's "fluffy little clouds"

So cool version 😎
I really find this refreshingly different, and like the whole line-up, this lady's voice is just so -------------------------------
Is that the “Stray Cats” guitarist? Great!
It seems he his Brian Setzer, "golden sideman"
a beautiful woman and a somewhat restained Brian Setzer doing a top Bowie song just amazing
Very young Brian Setzer. Restrained but that was still some fine playing.
he was just jammin'. jones was headlining.
@@donwelch6612 Yeh I know just love her stuff
Love this.
ThankYou! Syd Straw as backup singer!
And she is such a schmoooozbuster!🤓👕🏠
Géniale interprétation !
Love ya, Rickie Lee

you tube needs to put a "love" button with the like and dislike.
Groovy
J'aimerais avoir les transcriptions de certaines des paroles de Rickie Lee Jones
❤️❤️❤️💕
Yup fo sho
Holy smokes!
Hay OP. You should edit this to give Brian Setzer and Syd straw credit
Sexy and very nice. Rickie shows class. If you don´t like it, listen to Bowies version. The thing with UA-cam is that´s there is something for everyone.
Wow
Brian Setzer on guitar???? What show was this?
Tonight show/Jay leno

+translateslowly Yup
+translateslowly It sure looks like him
+translateslowly Definetly
Yes Indeed!

ブライアンセッツァーおる
That one of those stray cats playing in the back?
Thanks for the info Coventry112! I see Jay Leno, so it must have been the Tonight show, but was this an impromptu gathering of serious talent just for this show or was this a tour introduction? Additionally, when was this I wonder?
Syd Straw providing background vocals
Elvis Boulevard..
not a billion views shame on them
Just a couple of incorrect lyrics but I love RLJ and Rebel Rebel.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ‼️
It's not Just Brian Setzer, It's the Stray Cats.
Sundance and the great Syd Straw on backing vocals
WHEN AND WHERE WAS THIS PERFORMED? ALSO, WHO IS THE FEMALE BACK UP SINGER? I RECOGNIZE BRIAN SETZER ON GUITAR AND THE GUT BASS PLAYER BUT THATS ALL. GREAT VERSION OF THIS CLASSIC TUNE...GOOD POST, THANKS!
HUGOGRUNER1 Patti Smith
HUGOGRUNER1 the back up singer is syd straw
Hello legs.
Mmmm, not sure about this.
What makes one of the best rockabilly guitarists in history involved in that mediocrity?
looks rough
As a fan of Rickie Lee Jones and Brian Setzer I can only say - This is shit. Fuck people, what were you thinking??
+Spud O'Doom I thought this was a great cover!
As a fan of Ricki Lee Jones and respect for Brian Setzer
I absolutely love This!!
Who on earth told her this was a good idea??
+jvm22187 no idea have you?
+jvm22187 Maybe Bowie himself. This is from 1993, you know.

U sound snobby and ignorant in music.
I'm sorry for you....
