David Bowie – Young Americans

Aww, screw it, let's play a few more cuts, eh?

4 Dec 1974

Sorry, the mix is really bad for this the song. No, your speakers aren't screwy, that saxophone is clipping way the funk out. Sampling several videos for this performance leads me to believe this is the fault of that sneaky Dick Cavett...

better add the Teddy Pendergrass tag as well, if you look closely enough

I'll take your word for it.

Also: quick programming note, freealonzo week will start next week. I'd been sending my reminder emails to a bad address. Half naked.

  Well, threw me for a loop -- it is Luther Vandeross, although I was sure it was Teddy Pendergrass on the recording, but it's Luther -- T.I.L!

    We'll keep the tag as he's a topic of conversation...?

      self-fulfilling prophecy

Since its Bowie week will you take requests? There's an early performance on SNL with I think Klaus Noami that kinda freaked me out. That would be cool to see.

Heh, love me some Klaus.

Also, that vid is unfortunately AWOL.

      Also can't go wrong with any of Bowie's Live Aid songs.

I guess we should also salute The Sovereign, too. "Hours was a totally underrated album."
