Fame is funky! Just love the horns in Let’s Dance 🎺

That's Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar at the end.

If you want funk, listen to "Fame"!

We really jammed out to the best back in the day! Period-👍🙂✌️ 🛼🛼💃🏻💃🏻. If you haven’t yet, you should really listen to “Wishing Well” by Terence Trent Darby. With video. VERY funky also!

That outro always leaves me hungry for more.

DAVID HELPED SRV GET TO WHERE HE GOING!! 🎙️🔥🎸🐐😍😢RIP MR BOWIE!!

A funky one from Bowie ? That must be "Stay", from his 1976 album "Station to station". You can't get any funkier thant that ;) !

Love this one. Special significance was made out here in Australia.If i had known he lived in NSW for several months back then.i would have moved there !😂

I was burning off the wheels to my roller-skates when this song came out. Good times with good music.

Bowie recorded a lot of Young Americans, his R&B album, at Sigma Sound Studios, home of the famous Philly Soul sound. Check out the title cut, Young Americans, Fascination, Someone Up There Likes Me, Right, and his most funky, Fame with John Lennon. Amazing songs!

This is a top Bowie song. Very 80s. An earlier one co-written with John Lennon, is "Fame." John sings backing vocals and plays guitar on it.

Great reaction. Peace out.

At this point, SRV didn't even have an album out. He and Double Trouble were club musicians in the South. In the official video, Bowie is wearing white gloves as he "plays the guitar", to signify that he isn't actually playing it on the recording, SRV is. 😎

You should listen to the full length album version. This was the half length edited single version.

Nile Rodgers is the producer of this album - he of Chic (Good Times, Freak Out), Diana Ross (Upside Down), Daft Punk (Get Lucky)

“Heroes” live will blow your wig off

キックとスネアの厚みのある録り音…コンプのかかり方がカッコいい！！

The album version adds another solo (soaring sax) and some other great keyboard (synth) - this was the single radio edit.

Fame is very funky !

This collab with SRV happened because Bowie saw SRV play at the 1992 Montreux Jazz Festival. They basically got "booed off stage" by a bunch of "Acoustic Jazz" fanatics, for being too loud... 😎 They were crushed, but then Bowie "sent for them", they met him, yada yada, then this song happened. A couple months after this, SRV released his first album, thanks to Jackson Browne (singer/musician/songwriter/producer), who also met and jammed with SRVDT at Montreux, and liked them so much that he let them use his Los Angeles studio for free! 🤙😎

This song is up there in the cloud of Bowie's best ones. Hadn't known about SRV connection, so thanks to commentors below. Fame is funky.

The horns and bongos make this song not to mention SRVs guitar work

The great Stevie Ray Vaughn - R.I.P.

Bowie is very versatile, as you were saying. Many great hits. Check out Fame, Young American, Space Odyssey and Spiders from Mars

If you want to see Bowie live, a great place to start is the amazing 'Heroes' live in Berlin. The song is about 2 lovers trapped by the terrible political divide of the old Berlin Wall. So you can well imagine that it meant one hell of a lot more to that audience. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKeN0puqY7S0kbQ.html

David Bowie is his own genre It’s called Bowie lol

A pity most reactors do this single edit instead of the 7min album version. More bongos and more SRV on guitar👍 win win

there are some longer versions of this that are definitly worth the listen

This was the short version 😡

"HEROES" one of David Bowie’s masterpieces Live in Berlin 2002 With the great GAIL ANN DORSEY on bass the great STERLING CAMPBELL on drums the inimitable EARL SLICK and GERRY LEONARD guitars kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4iuxcN-oNm3lcY.html. (sorry man, it's not "funky" sorry, sorry, sorry) 😇

Funky David Bowie? Try "fame" and "golden years".
