Deserve more? He was great and everyone knows it, Bowie was the star and that's how it was.MR didn't have a bad career but just couldn't put his head above the parapet and so wasn't as famous.Guy worked with Dylan, Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter, Morrissey. Pretty good to be fair

Indeed u are. From the start of rock until 1995 there were so many historical shows by amazing bands people had the opportunity to see. Since then i cant really think of anybody at such a level. Rock n roll died in 95. I was aware enough to see and feel it fade out and followed up by the worsed years in music history. Endless number of boy bands and girl pop groups inserted their superficial synthetic filth over everything for so many dark cold years. Those years were so hard to get through alot of people didnt make it as their very being and will to live was just callously drained crushing their spirit and hope things one day things might go back to normal. Its been almost 20 yrs since it ended and we are still dealing with the aftermath and bodies. So many lost

By and by they've crafted a beautifully unique tapestry of sublime colors interwoven with Rich memories and curious textures. Truly a thing exquisitely rare but I don't keep it hidden, then again seems a waste that I should display it to those who lack vision and understanding.

[ Loves To Be Loved ], don’t we all? Bowie sure had a way with words.

This features Cyrinda Fox ( girl with short platinum hair), a girl who happened to be just hanging out at same hotel Bowie was at, in LA, I believe. This was the start of her modeling career, Bowie liked her look & featured her in what was a prelude to stylized & highly produced music videos that launched MTV into existence. 1972/1973 was the infancy of this sort of media. Cyrinda instantly became famous among the rock 'n roll community, going on to a modeling career, minor acting career. What she's really known for is her personal life. After the Bowie cameo, she arrived in NYC to continue modeling & began dating, then marrying David Johansson, lead singer of glam rock band, The New York Dolls (he always reminded me of what the son of Mick Jagger & Steven Tyler would look like), speaking of Aerosmith, Cyrinda had a notoriously wild affair with Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith, who apparently was a friend of Johansson. Cyrinda left her New York Doll for Steven Tyler, as soon as divorce was granted, she & Steven Tyler walked this way into the wedding chapel & were married. They had one child, daughter, Mia Tyler..

The Jean Genie, 1973, will always be my favourite David Bowie song, The guitar work of Mick Ronson, is legendary. 1970-1975 is the BEST five years of music by Mr David Robert Jones!

This is what started my it for me. My Bowie obsession. Picture the scene, a 13 /14 year old middle class laddie, first disco, local village hall, scrubbed up to the nine and a halves in new clothes, bought just for the occasion. Place packed, DJ plays The Jean Genie. Everyone to a man and woman up on the dance floor, singing and stamping their feet to the riff. Never seen or heard anything like it, thought the wooden floor was going to crash. Instead it was Bowie crash landing into my world and I never looked back. That sense of community, the energy and power of youth has always stayed with me. Thank you Mr David Bowie, you changed my life.

MaryAnn Stegmaier how lucky you were!

Both Ronson and Bowie now belong to the ages. This great song ROCKS. CRANK IT UP!!! As David sings here from both the heart and gut!

No one has lived up to Bowie in all these years. There is just no one like him. Im only early 30s but i was brought up on him by my Dad and my mind was blown aged 4 and is still blown ❤❤❤ when he died it felt like i had lost a family member 💔

Love that little riff that Mick Ronson plays in the song at a couple of places- Genius

I have loved his hair in every performance! That voice of his will go forever!!

Gritty grinding beautiful performance from start to finish!

Still listening 50 years after it first came out!

That one short shot of the Mars Hotel is so freaking iconic.

Saw Bowie in 1976 on the Station to Station tour, he played this and it still ranks as one of the best concerts I ever saw. Just amazing. All I can say.

@evie0oo61 I was so good, that there really is no way to really express it. I was right up in front of the stage.

BOWIE+MIKE RONSON = their best!

They didn't have videos back in 1972, but leave it to Bowie to be ahead of the curve. This was created as a promotional film clip for the song, and stands up even today when compared to other music "videos"

Just seen message, CONDOLENCES.

This and "Suffragette City" are the best Bowie songs hands down. I love the heavy Blues style of this era.

Good observation about the Blues. They “borrowed” the Blues riff. That da da da da riff is Black Blues music. They really should pay at least symbolically a tithe 10 percent of the royalties from this song to a Blues foundation or organization that helps Blues musicians because that Riff is as old as time and is in many Blues songs!

Remember the school dance...me and my mates all dancing in a line to this....hearing it again takes me right back there....still feel the same excitement today and I'm nearly 65 now....Bowie was my hero then and is to this day....there'll never be anyone like him.....

Bowies a ledgend n always will be musical genius. Its a fact his works timeless❤❤❤

Bowie once said that Woody was the only drummer that really "got" him in terms of being the right fit for the sound he wanted from his songs. And he once said he wished someone else sang his songs because he never really liked his own voice. I loved it. I mean come on "Lady Grinning Soul", "Word on a Wing", "Supermen", wow!!

starman, we gonna miss you all the time

Even amongst Bowie's impressive portfolio this stands out as an absolute and timeless pinnacle.

I frequently binge on Bowie! I am in total agreement that Mick Ronson was also a Rock genious! No one comes near their talent.

Absolutely Suzanne, totally uniquely brilliant.VERY SAD LOSE.

My very first CD/Album I ever owned thanks to my mom was his album 'The Best of David Bowie 1969-1974.' The Jean Genie was the first track on this album and every single time I hear this song start, it brings back so many damn good memories!!!!!!!!! I hope he's resting peacefully and still making sweet music in the stars!!!!
