Chic produced and played on it. Niles Rodgers talked about it in a interview on one of my former stations.

• Producers:
  • Nile Rodgers

• Musicians:
  • David Bowie: Vocals, Guitar
  • Stevie Ray Vaughan: Lead Guitar
  • Carmine Rojas: Bass
  • Erdal Kizilcay: Keyboard Bass
  • Tony Thompson: Drums
  • Rob Sabino: Keyboards, Piano
  • Mac Gollehon: Trumpet
  • Robert Aaron, Stan Harrison, Steve Elson: Saxophone
  • Sammy Figueroa: Percussion

Nile was lowkey putting in work in the early 80s. fukking with Bowie, Power Station, and producing Like A Virgin. Chic and Sister Sledge will always get heavy rotation in the whip and around the house.

Bomani was a Bowie fan so he has a lot to say on twitter right now about him.

NEGGED how would you feel if you lost your father? A son just lost his dad you sorry cretin.

On another note I have three songs of his on my MP3. I was a supporter of his music won't say fan. Dude was cool in his own way. I'm shocked he died because he didn't seem sick or anything. I always thought Jagger would go before him.

Watch Jagger's druggie ass live forever

I really don't care if a cac dies. Did he doing anything to help black people against white supremacy?

Yeah he did and it's been mentioned multiple times in this thread

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Classic. His death wasn't the biggest surprise considering he has be dealing with cancer for the past year but still remaining active. At least he got to put out one last album. A pretty good one at that.

Ziggy classic

They need to finally release that Bowie/Morrissey collabo

its been getting batted around for the last 15-20 min that its a hoax. To hear its true is terrible.


Black people wouldnt have been on MTV without him pushing for it.

"David Bowie: “Why are there practically no blacks on the network?”

Mark Goodman: “We seem to be doing music that fits into what we want to play on MTV. The company is thinking in terms of narrowcasting.”

David Bowie: “There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I’m surprised aren’t being used on MTV.”

Mark Goodman: “We have to try and do what we think not only New York and Los Angeles will appreciate, but also Poughkeepsie or the Midwest. Pick some town in the Midwest which would be scared to death by… a string of other black faces, or black music. We have to play music we think an entire country is going to like, and certainly we’re a rock and roll station.”

David Bowie: “Don’t you think it’s a frightening predicament to be in?”

Mark Goodman:“Yeah, but no less so here than in radio.”

David Bowie: “Don’t say, ‘Well, it’s not me, it’s them.’ Is it not possible it should be a conviction of the station and of the radio stations to be fair… to make the media more integrated?”"
