We're having a couple of long time close friends over this evening. They went to the opening of the David Bowie exhibition at the V+A yesterday, which I'm looking forward to hearing about. Bowie is one of those culture affecting artists who I am still discovering bit by bit. I was born two years after Hunky Dory was released so can't claim to have been there at the time. The first Bowie album I really embraced was Young Americans, I think because it is closest to the sort of music that I love. It has a soulful kind of flavour in it's vocals and arrangements - a young Luther Vandross is on backing vocals - and on this track, Bowie seems to chuck in a couple of James Brown signature grunts. Awesome...
