I'd say the opposite. The man did a great work separating his personal life and his career, to the point where David Bowie and David Jones had their own lives essentially. It's hard to tell if he was still playing characters in his later years.

@@theonlyantony he shows complete respect for Walker with this. Bowie recorded many covers where he added to or maybe showed some inadequacies of the originals, if that makes sense oh, or he just straight-up get them better by making some changes or simply just by being Bowie. But this one sounds just like the way Walker did it vocals which let's be honest I've listened to a lot of Walker now which was new to me until today I'll admit it but he clearly was a big Bowie fan at least you know vocally but I mean music....just everything. I think it's pretty nice tip of the cap honestly to Walker's music and had to be pretty cool if he was still around then I'm not sure but if so to hear Bowie's version of that song I'm sure delighted him hey what a great song.

Dashing, debonair and dangerous in perpetuity. He always seemed to flow above it all. A figure the likes of which we shall never see again...sadly. It took me FAR too damn long to appreciate him fully. Here he covers a great artist (Scott Walker) in his OWN right. A real win-win. Any human who can hold them both in esteem is ahead of the game.

Black Tie White Noise is one of my favorite Bowie's albums, there is just something irresistibly sexy about the sound of it, this track and Miracle Goodnight especially

Even after more than a year, it is still hard to accept he is gone. And now I've just lost my beloved husband as well! I hope they have met in heaven and are talking about what a hardcore fan I am of both of them! I turned my husband on to Bowie and he really liked him, but not as much as me. Bowie saved my life at age 16 when I heard "Space Oddity" on an underground radio station. He changed it forever when I saw him from the tenth row at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia a couple of years later for the Diamond Dogs Tour. Like nothing I'd ever seen in my life and like nothing I've ever seen since and I'm sixty-two years old now. I will love them both until the day I go to join them. I miss them both terribly.

A buried treasure indeed... I can't believe finding this today on hearing the news that Scott Walker (Scott Engel) had passed away at age 76. Legend is an overused word but it applies to David Bowie and tonight I think I will include Scott in that thinking as well.

Miss Florence Welsh recently quoted in an interview: do you want intense, uncompromising music with casualities in the rock world due to too intense lives or do you want more moderate songs (and healthy good lookers?). It resumes the whole evolution I guess. I find him incredibly good in Black Tie White Noise. A very good surprise after his career obviously took another course in 1984. That, Outside and Black Star were the very good ones. Tin Machine had some good bits (ao the sooooo underrated You belong in Rock 'n Roll). Amazing though how he kept his production at a more than decent level in spite of the fact he got less edgy after 1980, which is what you get when you trade cocaine for cafeine ;-)

Happy 70th birthday David Jones...

Genius covers a song by another genius.

Lyrics: There's no hold The moving has come through The danger passing you Turns its face into the heat and runs the tunnels It's so cold The dark dug up by dogs The stitches torn and broke The raw meat fist you choke Has hit the bloodlite Glass traps open and close on nite flights Broken necks feather weights press the walls Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights With only one promise, only one way to fall Glass traps open and close on nite flights Broken necks feather weights press the walls Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights With only one promise, only one way to call On nite flights On nite flights On nite flights Only one way to fall On nite flights On nite flights On nite flights Only one way to fall

Was my GOD.

I had no idea this was a Scott Walker song. I had heard Bowie's version first on Black Tie White Noise. I had not listened to this in ages until tonight while reading the news about Scott Walker. The direct influence was not apparent to me until now. I'm a bit speechless. Both versions are doing it for me right now. I am now going back to relisten to what I had known about Scott Walker. Bowie was my hero and Bowie was influenced by Scott. My apologizes for not being more "aware" of earlier. Today has been such a day for revelations for me. Peace.

David didn’t need to be anything but himself except Nite Flights was written and recorded by Scott Walker when If I have the story correct The Walker Brothers owed their record label Phillips one last album. Phillips was going out of business and told Scott basically you guys can do whatever the hell you want and they did. The Walker Brothers cover of make it easy on yourself went to number one in Great Britain and knocked The Rolling Sones Satisfaction off the top of the charts. Scott became very reclusive and only performed a few times the last 40 years of his life. John MaUs Walker was performing up until a few months before his death from liver disease in 2011. Scott had a purity in his voice a style of phrasing very few singers can approach including David Bowie. RIP Scott Walker “the sun ain’t gonna shine anymore,the moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky the tears are always clouding your eyes when you’re without love baby”

Just dropping by to see my love..and oh yes to let it be known he was is and always will be on my mind I notice everyone's gone quiet like it was just a phase, I was sick of the sycophants when he died and that hasn't changed.

God rest, Scott Walker as well: Jan. 9, 1943 to Mar. 22, 2019.

He alone in front of a camera was already a show... fantastic!!!

Is that a baseball bat in my trousers? NO. I am just watching David Bowie

Love the sounds on the original track, but gosh when Bowie sings, I trust him more.

Such a CooL Synth Sound!🎼🎶🎹🎵

Beatiful voice

David looked so amazing here.

He's art itself.

Somewhere in the air Walker Newley and DB are singing in the wind together sweetly.

This beat, this song, this mucisian, that = David Bowie

Rest In Peace Scott X
