A trick: watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

Watch Bowie make MTV very uncomfortable for not playing black performers, he’s awesome!

Bowie was a major innovator of all those styles from the 1980s and 1990s. He was one of the first men in Rock music to cross dress, leading to the creation of Glam Rock, together with Marc Bolan of T. Rex. Bowie had the MC Hammer pants before him and was the first major star to rock the Mullet as early as 1972. He sparked the retro 1950s look that repopularised into the 1980s. He did so much and never slowed down until his health started to catch up on him into the 21st century, and yet he still cranked hit albums up until his death in 2016!

Bowie was always way ahead of the times, in style, clothing, innovation, musicality, & equality for all !!! RIP Great One......

Bowie is a legend. Let's dance is another great tune. Produced by Nile Rodgers of Chic. Rebel Rebel is another favourite of mine, slightly different genre though.

Golden Years is also a song I would say is a best, maybe not the most popular, but just stella.

You've gotta check out Teenage Wildlife by David Bowie. It's freakin' incredible. By the way, John Lennon did backing vocals on the studio version of Fame.

About 10 years ago I was having a yard sale with a Black female friend of mine and a "sister" showed up and visited and bought and then invited both of us to her "Black Barbecue" (as you called it in the video) that night. I must say that, even though I was a stranger and the only White person there, EVERYONE treated me like valued family and it remains one of the most touching and cherished nights of my life.

Bowie was absolutely hilarious, could have been a comedian too! Definitely check out those funny moments videos 👍

Bowie's had a BBQ pass since 1974!

If you're a bowie fan then Nacho Video's channel is a real treat for you.

The Brits in the 60s had to come across the ocean to tell White America to start listening to and respecting the damn Black artists in their midst! 👍👍

React to David Bowie confronting MTV about their lack of diversity on their music channel. He owned that interview. Plus do "Lucy Can't Dance" or "Heroes," two very different but awesome songs.

Bowie's idol growing up was Little Richard.

He had many influences. He was also a huge Elvis fan.

"Sing that funky music white boy.... DAMN!"... LMAO! .. classic react

You have to listen to the full album "Young Americans". Amazing soul album. Bowie put a teenage Luther Vandross on backing vocals after he heard him singing along in the studio. He was only there as a friend of Carlos Alomar (Bowie's guitarist) and Bowie loved his voice. Even co-wrote a song with him (Fascination) . It's an alum full of great songs with a Philly/soul sound from 1975.

Check out "Starman" live at Top of the Pops. Or anything from Ziggy Stardust album.

There’s so much Bowie to listen to! The young Americans is good if you want to stay funky. It’s a cracking blue-eyed soul album

Your intro just made me crack up hard 😂

Thank you for sharing this live version! Epic!! I’ve never seen this one !

David Bowie had his BBQ pass waaaaay back in 1976 when he was the second white artist to appear on Soooooouuuul Train Homie!!!

Two other songs in the funk and soul style that will probably impress you a ton are Fascination (co-written by Luther Vandross) and Can You Hear Me?. You'll absolutely be giving him the BBQ pass.

Ironic that you said "Play that funky music white boy" ,infact wild cherry in an interview said he was inspired by listening to Bowie on the radio.Check out BLACK TIE WHITE NOISE !

Can you please react to David bowie song called Blackstar Please

He and John Lennon wrote this song together, three years before he died.

It’s actually five years before he died. The original song came out in 1975.

The guy you were thinking of is named Lucious.

Hi Devon ! Nice review. Bowie's influences are so diverse that it never ceases to amaze me how he managed to mix them all into one coherent style : his own ! By the way: "Fame" was co-written with John Lennon (you can hear him in the backing vocals of the studio version) and an important Soul musician was working with Bowie on the album this song comes from ("Young Americans" : give it a try, some day) : Luther Vandross. If you enjoyed "Fame", please try "Stay", from his 1976 album "Station to station" or "Black Tie White Noise" from the same titled album of 1993.

@@DevonDaVinci Bowie Fans around the world will thank you for that :) : I've seen reactions to 2 songs from the album (Fame and Young Americans), but never to the whole album. And for what i know, Vandross co-wrote at least one song on the album ("Fascination") and is doing the backing vocals on almost every other songs. Enjoy (and greetings from France :D ) !

Co -writer...none other than John Lennon. Very cool song!

You should watch David Bowie MTV interview. 💕

Great reaction!

John Lennon played the Reggie guitar on this. He used the name Dr, Winston O’Boggie for the credits on Bowie’s album.

Well done Brother. I have often played Rock to kids in the Hood when I teach. The cool kids really love it.... I'd like to think I'm one Wing away from that BBQ Pass:) Happy Holidays

If you want FUNK, check out Golden Years and 1984 from Bowie!

Were you talking about George Clinton of Funkadelic? Check out David Bowie doing this song on Soul Train! RIP David. btw, he was married to black model (Somali) Iman. I think other bands like The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Stevie Ray Vaughan would also pass your barbecue test.

A music reaction that wasn't paused every 20 seconds with fake over the top comments "hold up hold up!, whaaaat did he just say?!" "Oh my god wow!" Let it play through, a few comments during and after, done. 👏👏

Happy New Year!! Great reaction!! During these awful times I often find myself needing to listen to something soothing or happy to help me through the day. I have a clip on my "easy listening" playlist I think you would enjoy. It's a "NICOTINE" cover by ZeePruk and it's all about being there for someone whether they know it or not. Zee Pruk Panich is a well known Thai actor (co-winner of Best Shipper and Most Perfect Body at the Thailand 2020 ZOOM DARA Awards recently and main male lead in "Why RU, The Series"), model, singer, and TV host (Domundi TV) with a sizable fan base in Asia and a large following on Instagram and Twitter. His voice is like velvet as is his sweet disposition. (Having a killer smile doesn't hurt either, LOL.) The lyrics, translated by one of his fans, are in the "Comments" section of the clip. I would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to review and enjoy this really simply performed sweet song. Thank you for letting me post this request. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIx9ptd7d7m7hsY.html

Mannn in the 70s the whyte bands and singers was killing it. We always thought somebody whyte was black until we went to the then "record store"

That's nacho cheese! Yes it is, I just bought it.

Here’s the video people are talking about where Bowie asks MTV why they don’t play black artists. kzread.info/dash/bejne/io57y7izedWegco.html I love him. I don’t say it lightly when I say his music saved my life. Check out Rock N Roll Suicide sometime. Also... ah hell, everything. His final album, Blackstar was done with an amazing New York jazz trio. It’s really something.

You want to know if I'm a fan of David Bowie? Well...I'm alive so...

I believe bowie was the first white guest to appear on soul train.
