This song is on the album “Let’s Dance” and your next Bowie song should be the single “Let’s Dance”. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the session guitarist on the entire record, but you can really identify SRV on that particular song.

China girl and let's dance have Stevie Ray on guitar.

David Bowie was doing what Prince does 20 years before Prince. He was the cutting edge, he shocked and appalled his fans with every new look, and to complement the look, he had to have a new sound to go with it. At least that's how it seemed to me. Under Pressure and Space Oddity are my two favorite David Bowie songs, and they couldn't be more different!

This is one of the FEW songs that I could listen to more than once in a short period of time. It just gets you to think in a fun way. It's one of the best dance songs out there IMO. The original song had 3 sax players and one with the trumpet. The Live Aid version had two drummers. It's so musically fun that it's hard to tell the difference.

I prefer the term shape shifter to describe Bowie over the word chameleon because a chameleon blends into its environment & Bowie did anything BUT blend in. When you look at images of him in his different personas & styles you get completely different energies / vibes from him that makes you feel like you are looking at completely different people (his distinctive eyes give him away).

He created and gave away so many styles or genres of music for generations and was completely profound and influential. Bowie was not a chameleon. He was a shy songwriter who acted out as other personas in order to sing in front of people. Much later in his career when he became himself, David Robert Jones. Yea, yes Space Oddity, but the next one should be Starman - Top of the Pops, 1972. The World had NEVER seen anything like it before. You really will have your mouths open. Bowie made it okay to be different. Men and women alike still weep over his loss. I was blessed and highly favored. I saw him 11 times starting in '74.

Glad to see you guys finally clicking with David Bowie! The man's a genius. One of the greatest musicians to ever live. That will make more sense as you go deeper into his catalog. You've only scratched the surface. Plus, you have yet to do his most classic hits from the 70s like "Life on Mars," Heroes," "Changes," or Young Americans." From the 80s, you'd probably appreciate "Let's Dance" and "China Girl."

The juxtaposition of the "song versus the performer" is very deep in this song. Bowie, an avant garde man who is daring and apparently crazy wild is singing about conservative values-"Dont believe in modern Love"-"get me to the church on time" is so righteous and moral. This is amazing!!

Chameleon describes Bowie pretty well. He had a long career and went through many different sounds and looks. Heroes, rebel rebel, suffragette city, space oddity and the Jean genie are just a few I would recommend listening to. The guy had a lot of good songs. While I’m thinking about Bowie I’ll relay this info. Although he might have had more popular songs, my favorite is “Heroes” because of the rebellious tone it strikes.

So much symbolism.

This is 1983. It was a huge comeback year for him. 3 huge hits off that album. By this point, he'd been in the business 15 years and already had dozens of hits

I won a dance contest to this song at the campus bar when I was in college LOL! I actually saw him on this tour, the Serious Moonlight tour...amazing. What made me a little sad is that he said later this was his least favorite of his albums because he felt he purposely sold out with it. The other side of that is that this may be some of his most accessible, universally appealing music. It sold huge, so he made a lot of people happy with it...including me. "Let's Dance" and "Modern Love" flip a switch in me to this day!

For some perspective on this staggeringly unique talent, I would recommend going to some of his earlier masterpieces, like '71's CHANGES or '72's ZIGGY STARDUST (with SUFFRAGETTE CITY). 75's YOUNG AMERICANS is another great, great song. So many incredible Bowie Eras to enjoy!

DB was DEFINITELY a fashionista, especially in his latter years. Plus, he was married to a super model who probably helped with his fashion sense….

When Bowie was making the movie, "The Man Who Fell to Earth", they filmed at Fenton Lake, north of Jemez Springs, NM. I was living in a travel trailer (my husband was working on a geothermal rig there) and he had heard of the filming. We drove up to the lake and hubby got out to ask/see what was going on. We were parked next to a van and as I was sitting there waiting the door opened up and I had eye contact with what looked like an alien with white skin (paint) all over him. I think he was naked. But he smiled at me and the door quickly shut. My husband came back and told me Bowie was in the van! The movie was interesting.

"This is Bowies' line, duh" I knew then I had missed out haha

"Not the thing that floats..." HILARIOUS! David Bowie was so influential in ways we take for granted now. For instance: You recognized some Prince vibes, and that's one of the things about Bowie: He introduced androgyny to pop music. The New York Dolls, Kiss, and Twisted Sister all were okay with wearing makeup; Bowie was first. He made it fashionable. (And I'd say Bowie was influenced by Lou Reed there...and of course Bowie produced Lou Reed's earliest solo records.) To say Bowie was chameleon-like is also spot-on. He changed personas the way most of us change clothes. For a long time in the early 1970s, many thought his name was Ziggy Stardust, a character he played on his breakthrough album. (React to ANY song on that album.) It's a very deep dive to fully appreciate David Bowie, because his influence was that deep and profound. The thing is: he would break new ground and others would enter that realm and make it popular... all after Bowie had already moved on to "the next thing." His album "Low" is nowhere near as "fun" as any of his other albums. And yet, it's so perfect. I would have to describe Bowie like this: "In order to understand 'D', you have to understand 'A,' B,' and 'C.' And you'll never understand 'E' until you know 'A, B, C, and D.' The catch is...you'll never fully appreciate 'A' until you've learned all about 'E'." Does that make any sense? You can appreciate any of Bowie, but wow, you cant get the big picture right away. Bowie's roots extend so far out you have to circle back to him to understand what you thought you already knew. As I say, he's a deep dive. But very much worth it.

Was nice to mention Kiss, Twisted Sister, which I loved growing up with also...but also Elton John Alice Cooper did the face paint thing...but David Bowie U can't beat... The song Labyrinth awesome

Out of this world...music...highly talented and extraordinary...and extravigant.

This is the song that introduced me to David Bowie. Love this song

This is one of my faves from Bowie. So much variety to choose from with his catalog. If you haven't already reacted, you must check out *Under Pressure* duet with Freddy Mercury.

From this era of Bowie... check out "Let's Dance" and "China Girl". I was lucky to have seen this particular tour from the light booth (a friend of mine was working on this tour).

A timeless classic! UNDER PRESSURE w/Queen is a MUST HEAR!!!

David Bowie (born David Jones) grew up playing the sax. It was great for him to incorporate his fave instrument in this song. I saw him in concert in Vancouver in 1985. That tour was not long after this song, and this album came out. He was FANTASTIC!

Bowie had so many sounds and looks. He could do anything.

Bowie was such a daring artist, willing to dabble in so many different styles. Changes, Young Americans and Heroes are three of my favorites.

Have you heard MOTORHEADs version of HEROES... LORD LEMMY KILMISTER NAILS IT

I went to this concert in August 1983 at The Forum in Los Angeles for my 14th birthday. The following year, I saw Prince (twice) on the Purple Rain tour, also at The Forum. So good! :)

Bowie’s live performances were always the best! Songs sounded even better than the studio albums. I was lucky enough to see this tour. We took a “Bowie” bus sponsored by the local radio station and traveled 7 hours one way to see him. He was a mega international superstar at this time of his career.

One of the few artists who when they died, I just cried. He was a treasure and his music was a gift to us all.

So strange to me that these were the three Bowie songs recommended first when “Space Oddity”, “Changes” and “Ziggy Stardust” are all out there waiting…

Seriously!

This is the Bowie era I grew up with and my introduction. Highly, highly recommend Let’s Dance and China Girl a close second.

Those of us that grew up with Ziggy were so happy when we heard him in the 80's tearing it up in the disco clubs.

He did Under Pressure with Queen 💛 Bowie also had 2 different color eyes.

"Let's Dance" & "China Girl" were his hits around that time also. "Blue Jean" as well. Great song and video.

one of the greatest songs of the 80s, you guys are great, love your reaction vids. Keep it up!

Bowie was fantastic and for another slick dressed and outstanding voice Robert Palmer

Can't compare Bowie and Prince... they attracted attention from ladies and gents... deservedly so. Both were androgynous pioneers. They paved the way for many other artist to just be themselves.

As far as fashion goes, my money would be on Bowie. His wife was a world famous supermodel. Prince certainly had style, but Bowie pulled off a more complete look and many drastic changes.

Prince put himself out there for the attention at times, whereas for Bowie it was effortless. All he had to do was show up.

"Can't compare Bowie and Prince," and yet you (we) immediately DO. I think we absolutely compare them, not as rivals-- it's not about "who's better"-- but as similar types of artists. The multiple genres, multiple instruments, multiple personas, the constant experimentation and change, not to mention the gender-bending artistic, personal and fashion statements.

There's an interview on MTV in which Bowie chastises them for ignoring Prince in the early days. I don't know much about Prince, but is seems like he had a more consistent band whereas Bowie floated on his own among different circles.

Bowie made society change enough to let Prince be acceptable dress wise. Bowie changed humanity's perception of gender/dress.

Bowie will forever be remembered; that’s just how legends go down
