My preferred version, feels deeper, more loving. The vocals invoke all that and more, let alone the musical arrangements having a beautiful pace to reinforce it all.
It’s a great guitar piece, and Ronson played it almost note for note a few years later on Aladdin Sane. Tells you a lot about Marc’s guitar play since Ronson could play with the best of them and could have played it differently.
Yep. Gloria Jones made up alot of things about her relationship with Marc and to this day continues to lie. She made up the lie about Bowie so people would feel sorry for her and Rolan and she pretends they had no money after Marc died which was a lie. Plays the poor me act despite being drunk and speeding in the car Marc died in then ran away back to America to avoid being charged. Even her brother lied for her. Marc never got any justice for what happened to him and sadly it's all been swept under the rug for 47 years.
mystery why this superb song never got anywhere at the time of release. Tons better than the later Aladdin Sane version. Methinks someone @record company never wanted it to succeed? I remember trying to buy it on release, not in stock at local chartshops, had to be "ordered special", i did "come back next week", next week "its still on order', next week "sorry it's been deleted". And that was it, disappeared until release on compilation many years later
As someone born in the 90s... It was the 3CD version of "The Best of David Bowie" (white cover) the first I got (I knew he had over 40 albums, so I wasn't sure what to buy) the funny thing is for me THIS is the best version of The prettiest star, there's some tenderness on it...
this was the first song i ever heard in my life, like a year ago i was going through a lot of shit and this was the only thing keeping me going. i really miss you bowie, thank you♥️
Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire You will be my rest and peace, child I moved up to take a place Near you So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried It's a trick to make you see wide It can all but break your heat In pieces Staying back in your memory Are the movies in the past? How you moved is all it takes To sing a song of when I loved The prettiest star One day, though it might as well be someday You and I will rise up all the way All because of what you are The prettiest star Staying back in your memory Are the movies in the past? How you moved is all it takes To sing a song of when I loved The prettiest star One day, though it might as well be someday You and I will rise up all the way All because of what you are The prettiest star
What a duo , Giant Stars , Bolan always had his a staggering guitar work as he did when Tina Turner talked about Marc playing on her self penned Nutbush city Limits
@@friendlier and yet he sounds a little rougher, more naive, here. There isn't the arch distance of persona here, David Bowie, yes, but not in star mode.
I AGREE WITH YOU MATE JUST AS THE B SIDE OF WILD EYED BOY FROM FREE CLOUD BUT ME I AM A MASSIVE FAN JUST THINK HE'S BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHERE HE IS HE GETS ME THROUGH EVERYDAY RIP 🦋❤️🌈 BOWIE ❤️
I do not care for the orchestration, to be honest - but that guitar! Ronno paid Marc the compliment of not altering a note, just the difference in tone owing to the semi cocked wah pedal and The Pig Marshall amp, when Bowie rerecorded it with The Spiders.
As much as it's easy to gush about David and Marc together and although this has its merits it doesn't hold a candle to the 1973 version with Ronson. Fact.
Fun fact: June child confronted David Bowie and told him that Marc Bolan was too good to be playing in his song. They then left the studio. Marc Bolan was the true genius behind everything. David Bowie envied Marc. Marc Bolan is the true original who started everything before everyone else. The Electric Warrior GUITAR GOD ON HIS OWN. All hail T.REX Forever💜
Yes! I'm tired of people giving Bowie all the credit when it was MARC who paved the way for him. He was the one who pioneered Glam Rock then Bowie just copied him. Bolan doesn't get as much credit as he deserves.
Yes, but he more or less duplicates Bolan's original version when playing it on Aladdin Sane - Bolan did this in one take before his wife whisked him away out of the studio with a bad grace...

I agree
Certainly!
Certainly!
Thats true, only this version. I hope that they will not use this wunderfull song for some television propaganda or music in silly action films...
Bowie was a really cool artist...after starting listening to him...never could stop... again and again these Bowie peroids;)
David and Marc absolutely fucking killed it with this one
The Alladin Sane version with the delightful Mick Ronson was far better. 🤗🤗🤗
@@jas2819 While I love Mick Ronson, that's a lie
@@cheesyween nope, not a lie, just my opinion.
The fact that it doesn’t dovetail with yours doesn’t make it a lie. 😊🤗
@@neosoulrebel Both versions are good but this one has more emotion and also Marc's guitar playing.
Marc Bolan's guitar playing makes this song so much better, he plays it beautifully 💗
Really....(?) I am stunned to hear this for the first time in 53 years.
It’s a great guitar piece, and Ronson played it almost note for note a few years later on Aladdin Sane. Tells you a lot about Marc’s guitar play since Ronson could play with the best of them and could have played it differently.
Marc’s guitar really be like that 😳
I love how he paid for Bolan’s son education and also regularly connected with him as a father figure after Bolan died. He was his Godfather.
None of that is true. Even Marc's son himself admitted that. It was his mother Gloria who made all that up.
@@chantelleadlington Wow!

No one sounds like Bowie......💜
So true
Ni como la guitarra de BOLAN, es versión es la que más me gusta. 🕴️🕴️🕴️
Bowie and Bolan together, 'nuff said.
Wow NEVER KNEW this version existed. Thanks ever so much for posting.
It doesn’t get much better than this now does it
this song is an absolute banger,the prettiest song.R.I.P David Bowie❤️🕺
This is for my daughter Cassandra!! Love you honey.

Absolutely!!! The alternates to this are amazing in their own right as well, but this is the one that pulls at my heartstrings ❤
I'm with you! I bought the same CD at the time!
Beautiful Marc Bolan’s guitar playing ♥️
I had this version on a set called sound and vision and it is the best and most heart wrenching of DB songs to me
We are so lucky to still have this beautiful music to listen to. I could hear it every day and it would still move me. ❤️
This is still one of my all time favorite Bowie songs.
I will keep him in my heart until the day I die.I love you David Bowie.
this was the first song i ever heard in my life, like a year ago i was going through a lot of shit and this was the only thing keeping me going. i really miss you bowie, thank you♥️
Good god, what a masterpiece.
it is marc bolan!
how was this not a hit in 1970
Pre Ziggy I believe
@@rayhill5767 definitely but fora a pre ziggy song its beautiful
\
@@avery2896 Ziggy became a star.
@@rayhill5767 i know that
@@avery2896 and then he went away
So beautiful!
This song really breaks my heart.
MARC BOLAN here is so sublime ...
🎤🎵⚡🎩🌠💝
Yes! It has literally brought me to tears at times.
The best version
this is the best versionnnn ✩
Love him too. My hero and not just for one day. Forever. ❤
This is so beautiful
Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace, child
I moved up to take a place
Near you
So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heat
In pieces
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past?
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star
One day, though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past?
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star
One day, though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star
*you will rise up high and take us all away
My little Megies song - now for our little one - You !!
Thanks hun for the lyrics...xxx
Mil gracias por compartir 🌹⚛️🎶
@@mattiefilms5769 also movies in the dark I guess
In this version
Came here from Stardust and to be a practically lifelong Bowie fan, it’s great to know this man existed ❤️
What did you think of the movie?
Yeh💫
Bellissima versione....ottimo sound...love Bowie forever
Read about this in the ziggyology book. Interesting back story
This is so incredibly cute. Yes this is awesome. And 1970. There’s no words.
I love this tune. It reminds me of my daughter.
Lovely lovely song, the Prettiest Star was Mr. David Bowie, ha, ha!
god listening to this hurts

Originally sold 800 copies. At 75K views here, wowie Bowie we love you 💕😊

What a duo , Giant Stars , Bolan always had his a staggering guitar work as he did when Tina Turner talked about Marc playing on her self penned Nutbush city Limits
Marc never played on nutbush
@@chantelleadlington Yes he did, Tina said it in an interview. Try not to be a knowall if possible.😋
No he didn't. It's just a rumour. Tina Turner never said that in an interview.
He is singing about Marc Bolan as many of us know. A wonderful song.
Menory od fantastic moments. Oh, I was do young😢
I think this is the real young David Jones. I like it, too.
It was recorded just before The Man Who Sold the World. He had been David Bowie for a while.
@@friendlier and yet he sounds a little rougher, more naive, here. There isn't the arch distance of persona here, David Bowie, yes, but not in star mode.
This takes me back to 1970 back in England after my brief appearance on film the year before for UNICEF or Oxfam at my intermediate school.
So pretty.
I AGREE WITH YOU MATE JUST AS THE B SIDE OF WILD EYED BOY FROM FREE CLOUD BUT ME I AM A MASSIVE FAN JUST THINK HE'S BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHERE HE IS HE GETS ME THROUGH EVERYDAY RIP 🦋❤️🌈 BOWIE ❤️
No denying he did truly love angie ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
sublime
Beautiful
Absolutely
Can't believe it took me until now to discover this version- much better than the (unremarkable) Aladdin Sane one, let's be real.
AS version is great, but the original is far more romantic and sensual.
@@sergreyman7678 Very well said!!!
I thought I had heard everything!
This is so much better than the AS version omggg
Adorable
En mi opinión, esta versión suena más profunda y tranquila. Es mi versión favorita.
Sirius❤️

Such a Beauty......
As it happens I had also watched watched a few old movies by then.

Starman David Bowie The definitive biography by Paul Trynka p.106
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
where fantasy and reality rest together burned by the cold fire
Its Bowie and Bolan in guitar ........
Hard to beat Bowie and Bolan when they're in this form...
Lo mejor de lo mejor
Invulnerables, es que ambos dejaron el alma en esta melodía
As much as it's easy to gush about David and Marc together and although this has its merits it doesn't hold a candle to the 1973 version with Ronson. Fact.
This was written for Angie apparently.
Bowie used Bolan because he said he liked the mistakes he was making :)
Tony Visconti managed both of them .
@@starbar1958 no, he produced both of their albums. leslie conn was their first manager which is how they met.
he never said that
and he ddint make miskates
Yes he did . Bowie liked mistakes, it gave it a fresh feel.
@@loganroselli9087 Must have been hearing things then. Oh no wait Bowie definitely said it in an interview
thinking about the 70s say no more

A nostalgic twee version but Ronno was a far superior guitarist.
ronson is the better guitarist but i prefer this version.
Ronno was the better guitar player, but he never captures the feel and beauty of this version.
A guitarra nessa versão é show é uma estrela!
@@glennforsyth7581 Totally agreed 😉
Yes, but he more or less duplicates Bolan's original version when playing it on Aladdin Sane - Bolan did this in one take before his wife whisked him away out of the studio with a bad grace...
I still wonder why he re made it in 1973
I dedicate this to his first wife Angela, I understand
Here from ATYD
Is this what David played down the phone to Angie when she was in Cyprus one Christmas? She decided to marry him.
Yeah well
i think he wrote this song for his first wife Angie Bowie
It was about Marc bolan.
He played it down the phone to propose marriage to Angie. It was a bit cheeky if he wrote it about someone else.
“Lady Stardust” was written about Marc. Listen closely to the lyrics & you’ll understand.
thanks!
Kevin Clepps - Glad I could help! 🧡🎸🎶⚡️
Interesting but prefer the 1973 version, it has much more rock & roll swagger!
There is a girl I know...she actually is.
my preferred virgin
WTF is this? Sounds like an opera piece.
Based around traditional Cypriot music apparently
Great version. 3 years later Bolan could have have played like Ronno with his guitar affects no problem
better without that shoo woop shit
