@@stuartwray6175, Bowie was very accomplishes as a saxophonist, a pianist, and played acoustic guitar a great deal. He learnt lead guitar and played it himself on the Diamond Dogs album, so that would make him a great musician too as well as singer and songwriter. And yes he always had great musicians in his band too. Very much so sttgaegoaktd 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛

He claimed he wasn't a musician. More than once. But in other interviews, admittedly sometime later, he referred to himself as one, all part of his evolution. Whatever way you look at it, whatever he could play, and he was largely self taught, he was absolutely full of musicality. You can be a dancer who plays no instrument and can't sing in tune and still full of musicality. We won't see another Bowie in our lifetime. He is still influencing music, art, fashion and popular culture today. Whatever he was, we were so lucky to have witnessed his genius.✨️

Bowie's cover of Pink Floyd's See Emily Play was a remarkable three-way cross between 70's glam, 60's psychedelia, and 50's avant garde jazz. Shows how deep the roots of Blackstar extend.

I’ll never understand the hate this and other songs David did on this album gets. The talent this man had is incredible and this cover clearly shows that. Stop comparing and just enjoy the music that we’re so fortunate both artists gave us.

Love this, one of Bowies best covers, the best being his live version of Velvet Undergrounds waiting for the man...saw him perform it in 72, amazing .

Wish Syd Barrett didn't fall off the deep end, he was a true talent...and yes hope Bowie and Syd are jamming out in outer space somewhere...

1:43 That wailing synth solo was a good 5-6 years ahead of everyone else. But of course Bowie was 1000 years ahead of his time! And we got to live at the same time. Lucky us.

One of my favourite tracks on this album, as always David done it his way and made it his own, specially the classical arrangements at the end,pure Genius. Forever Missed x

My father, Pierre Llinares (viola) plays on this song with the electrical string quartet, Michel Ripoche (1st violin), Pierre Louis (2d violin) and cellist Hervé Derrien. The sessions took place in Château d'Hérouville recording studio on 29th of july 1973. The strings recording session was on night time at 3 am...

How perfect. Excellent David!! You and Syd are probably jamming in Rock and Roll Heaven 🎵🎼🎶 Save me a seat.

This is wayyyy better than I thought it'd be

Love this Pink Floyd cover!! David Bowie playing the Moog Synthesizer. cool!

excellent cover. my favorite track on Pinups

WOW ... I just listened for the first time with full awareness also to that second half of this great interpretation of a great Syd Barret song. Bowie had that brilliant piano-player with him in those days !

Sensacional interpretación. ¡Qué recuerdos! 😢

Greatest cover to Emily See of all time. 👍👏👏👏👏

What a great gift from God thank you so much for Mr David Bowie 😎😎😎😎

not being pickie or critical to any of the artist who wrote the songs from this album " pin ups " but got to be honest he done a bloody good job on all of them...its one of my fav albums by bowie...rip legend

Rest i n peace my Musical friend, you will always be on my mind and so many of us that remain will always love you David Bowie !

Kinda overlooked this one. Nice arrangement and that Muppet-on-Shrooms-like chorus.

I do love this song, always have. But bowie, could take a song, and bring it somewhere, you never thought it could possibly go.

Genius. Still amazing after all these years. x

Only Bowie and his amazing band could cover this song. Brilliant.
