Bowie is the bomb. He was always such a unique artist and individual. I loved his 70s output and this song was no exception. I know Amber will love "Young Americans" due to the wild saxophone. His classic from the late 60s to the 70s include "Changes," "Fame" (co-written and background vocals by John Lennon), "Rebel Rebel" is a great rocker and there's just so much more. Also check out his 1972 album, "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" typically referred to as just "Ziggy Stardust" from which this song came. You can never go wrong with Bowie. A true original.
I would suggest taking the time to listen to this whole album in one sitting. It is a concept album about an outer space alien who comes down to earth and forms a rock band (Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars), gets caught up in the fame and ego. It is a unique experience and totally worth the time investment. Next song from Bowie for you? Young Americans then TVC15, Panic in Detroit, Jean Genie. So many to choose from! Great reaction y'all!
Oh, yeah... Ziggy played guitar Jamming good with Weird and Gilly And the Spiders from Mars He played it left hand But made it too far Became the special man Then we were Ziggy's band
Knowing how much Amber loves saxophone, Young Americans is a must. He hired multi-Grammy award wining artist David Sanborn to play on the album. One of my favorite Bowie songs.
I've suggested Young Americans before, too! I get so lost in that song, the sax, piano, his voice! One of my favorite songs from my all time favorite singer. ❤
Bowie's lyrics are often left open for interpretation. He incorporated techniques used by poets, such as cutting up sentences and words and rearranging them. A beautiful example of this is the song "Quicksand".
Great to see you react to the music that has been the soundtrack to my life and times. One of the best concerts I ever saw (that didn't involve Rush). Bowie was a brilliant showman as well as a fantastic singer and songwriter. Amber has the right idea. The Ziggy Stardust album is one of a handful of albums that really need to be listened to from start to finish. ✌️🤘💀✌️
I love Bowie. When his albums first started rolling out, I would wonder about each one, "What is he going to sound like this time?" Each album was so different from one another! I like so much, but a few good ones for a nice range is, "Rosalyn, "Jean Genie," "Oh You Pretty Things," "Ashes To Ashes," and "Breaking Glass," "Rebel Rebel," "Life On Mars?" and "Diamond Dogs."
Bowie turned people on to a few artists that influenced him. One of those I'd like to introduce you guys to is Lou Reed. It's his song Perfect day but a particular version was released for charity. So if you search Perfect day various artists. Think along the lines of 'We are the world' and 'Do they know it's Christmas'. You'll now appreciate how many of the artists you now know. It will Also open the door to Lou Reed - walk on the wild side, Satellite of love Enjoy! 🙂
Fun fact, Bowie originally wrote this for the band Mott the Hoople. They instead chose to record All the Young Dudes (written by Bowie) and Bowie recorded Suffrage City
NO ONE HAS REACTED TO THIS ONE: Long John Baldry - "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King of Rock & Roll" (Rod Stewart and Elton John both started out playing with this man. He is credited with taking the Blues to London. The Beatles were known to go to his shows)
Best album and concert of the 1970's!!! This was huge hit! "Wham Bam Thank You Mam'!!!" Started here. Whole album amazing! A "malefact chick" comes from Clockwork Orange...
@@richardmather1906 I followed him through his work with Ian Hunter. Rated his solo work highly - the release of his "Just Like This" album years after his demise was a wonderful addition to his output.
Bowie was a trailblazer and unlike anyone else out there. The more you listen, the more you understand. Hearing this live was amazing. He changed his music like some people change clothes. Maybe it's time to move into the '80's with "Let's Dance"/ China Girl.
I had tickets to see him in Salzburg, Austria in 2004. He pulled a muscle in his shoulder and cancelled his two Austrian concerts that week, I was SO BUMMED. It was his Reality Tour. It was a bucket list concert for me. I never got to see him except the live performance on the Today Show plaza-we recorded that on a VHS tape, we didn’t have YT back then 😢
OK ROB SQUAD, THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONE DAVID BOWIE ALBUM AND THIS SONG OF COURSE COMES OFF OF IT THAT INSTANTLY TRANSPORTS ME BACK TO BEING 16 YEARS OLD (1974), HANGING OUT WITH MY FRIENDS IN THE CAR, MAYBE SMOKING A LITTLE WEED AND LISTENING TO THIS!!! EVERY SONG ON THE SPIDERS FROM MARS ALBUM IS JUST PHENOMENAL!!! THANKS FOR THE NOSTALGIA GUYS!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bowie was such a great singer and multifaceted entertainer. His music evolved so much over the years. His last album 'Black Star' was very strange and different from his usual pop or rock genre. When I first heard the album I did not care for it, but it grew on me after awhile. RIP David.
Bowie is one of my lifelong favorites. ❤❤❤ Please try out “Heros”, it’s such a great song! He did a duet with Tina Turner called “Tonight” and the live performance at one of Tina’s concerts is incredible! 🔥(It’s on RUclips)
The mistake that’s easy to make hearing things for the first time is to search for a reference or genre or style to grab onto with Bowie that’s normally always impossible, that said this track is very glam rock .
I hope you do "Heroes" at some point. IT's such an uplitfting song. A true anthem. Or if you want to see his darker side, try "I'm Afraid of Americans". And also... add "Labyrinth" to your movie list. David Bowie is one of the lead actors.
Bowie was a genius and I adored him, and this is my favorite song of his! I'm so glad you listened to it! I highly recommend his Christmas duet with Bing Crosby, "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy." A classic from five years after he recorded this 1972 banger!
One of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time, and for me, the Gold Standard for many many years. Every new album had to compare favorably to "Ziggy" or it just wasn't worth my time.
No better words than amazingly Unique when it comes to Bowie. Phenomenal artist. His song "Lets Dance" is a fun one. His movie "Labyrinth" is a great look at his theatrical side. Great fantasy film way fun. Thanx so much, Stay groovy, keep smilin', Peace
David Bowie Live in Philadelphia. Period! Saw him numerous times. Madison Square Garden for The Diamond Dogs Tour. Truly amazing and so many other tours. I was devastated when he passed away...
LOVE BOWIE....he changes every album of course. Rebel Rebel is a lot like this one. A deep cut on this album (Ziggy) is "Rock N Roll Suicide" which is FIRE!
Love me some Bowie! You will like his “Rebel Rebel”, “Heroes” and “Changes”. The title of the last song will stick in your mind all day long once you listen to the song. 😉
I bought this album when it first came out. Great concept album. Some songs and even artists sometimes require multiple listens to appreciate and when you do they become your favorite. For example when I first heard Jethro Tull I didn’t get them. Became one of my favorites.
J, I really respect that you were honest about not feeling it half way through. So many will just automatically 'love it' so no one gets their feelings hurt. Not everything is a masterpiece. Even the Beatle pumped out an occasional clunker. You are loved and you are blessed.
Since you just did SRV, then you have to react to Bowie's "Let's Dance" (80's) with very young SRV on guitar. My first fan obsession is Bowie...I purchased every album I could get my hands on and bought books and magazines, recorded interviews and videos. If you liked Golden Years you will like Young Americans.
Went to see The Stones and Santana at the Silverdome sometime in the early "80's (I think) and this was one of the songs played during the break between bands. The crowd talking noise was very loud until the song was near the end... then a second of silence and 70,000 people screamed along with Bowie, 'Wham Baam, Thank You, Ma'am'!! So loud! It was amazing.
I've been into early punk rock since the mid 70s. This is when he used to travel around with the Iggy Pop. Both of them were icons of punk rock back when it was just starting out great reaction. It's about time you guys did this song
Someday find the time for yourselves to listen to the whole album, but between now and then listen to the next and final track on the album, Rock & Roll Suicide. The title sounds a little grim, but the lyrics are among the best ever, the music is great, and the whole song finishes in a very generous and supportive outpouring of emotion.
You need to listen to the album as a whole, a concept album and one of the best rock albums ever. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide is a killer ending, the scream at the end when he is telling the people who are outcasts who think that they don't belong that they are not alone will send chills down your spine. David Bowie was a true rock genius.
David Bowie: LADY GRINNING SOUL✨ From the Aladdin Sane album (if you haven’t listened already) It’s Gorgeous✨ May I suggest you get a copy of the lyrics of all of the songs you play in your videos- I think this would enhance your experience ahead of listening) You’re Both Great To Watch😊✨
I would love to see you two do a back to back reaction of the song China Girl written by David Bowie and his friend from way back, Iggy Pop. First, react to Iggy Pop's version which is actually the original version and has a rock edge to it, then listen to Bowie's version which has a dance vibe to it and was a HUGE hit back in the day. I think it would be fun to see your take on the two different interpretations of China Girl by the co-writers and good friends.
@@victorbortolussi2964 I'm just glad that Iggy cleaned himself up and managed to find a bit of commercial success himself. With all of the shit he put his body through it's amazing that he lived to see 30 let alone 75 like he is now.
David Bowie was a wonderful, creative, and talented artist. He had no ego, and was totally approachable. You could approach him as a total stranger and hold a full blown conversation just like that. He was a lovely chap. Throughout the 70's he changed like the chameleon to different styles and looks that matched his music. I grew up listening to Bowie, and his songs certainly influenced me. In particular the wide variety of sounds and differing styles of songs. David was so masterful at creating such wonderful songs. So very talented.
If you get the time (yes, I know you're parents and there's never enough time) give the entire album a listen. It's not a 'concept album" per se, but all the songs play out the story of Ziggy Stardust. Great, great album!
Don't think you've done anything by Joan Armatrading yet. I believe she's from the 70s and was more popular in UK than US, but she's definitely worth a try for Female Fridays. An often overlooked gem with many superb songs: "The Weakness in Me", "Me, Myself, I", "Drop the Pilot" and many more. I really hope you give her a try.
Hello Jay and Amber! I've got the perfect song for your Female Fridays Reactions... It's a gem of a song featuring four powerhouse female singers titled, "MISSING YOU", from the soundtrack of the film 'Set It Off". The singers are Brandy, Tamia, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan. P.S.: If you two have not seen the movie Set It Off, I highly suggest you react to it on your movie reaction channel. That movie is one of the best crime dramas ever made. The movie stars, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica Fox, and Kimberly Elise. :)
I have loved Bowie since my teenage years and my much younger sister (19 years age difference) kinda got raised by me on Bowie as well, she even got a Bowie tattoo now. This song has always been the one we're jamming out to the most, one of our very favorites.
I would really love to see you react to David Bowies last video and song Lazarus. It is so heartbreaking to know that he knew that he didn’t have much time left when he made it.
I love that you are both loving David Bowie as much as I did when this album was first released I lived my life through this album and to tell you how much I listened to it would be insane. Bowie was my main man and when you listened to Ziggy Stardust he took you to another world that you could envisage through the lyrics of his songs. Like '' Five Years'' depicting armagedon '' Starman '' connecting with another life in this universe '' Ziggy Stardust '' the rise and fall of an iconic pop idol. This album was amazing then as it is to this day and I still listen to this album at least once a month
The best thing about this time is that artists just did the music they felt without worrying about how to categorize it. Like your other review of Jefferson Starship today. What is their genre? Jefferson Starship
great reaction! other Bowie songs that you might like are: Heroes (studio version!), Sons of the Silent Age, Everyone Says Hi, The Man Who Sold the World, Win .... he has endless wonderful songs. I miss him greatly
Bowie is the bomb. He was always such a unique artist and individual. I loved his 70s output and this song was no exception. I know Amber will love "Young Americans" due to the wild saxophone. His classic from the late 60s to the 70s include "Changes," "Fame" (co-written and background vocals by John Lennon), "Rebel Rebel" is a great rocker and there's just so much more.

You can never go wrong with Bowie. A true original.
Good choices!
Oh yeah, Amber definitely needs to react to Young Americans!
Yeah they haven't found Let's Dance yet either.
Oh absolutely.
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Changes" and "Young Americans" !!!
Yes and yes!
PLEASE react to the studio versions of both of these songs!!
And Life on Mars!
Luther Vandross sings back up on Young Americans before he became famous.
Yes I was just coming on here to say that young Americans and changes lol un
Amber's reaction to the "Wham bam thank you ma'am" line was precious 💯🤘✌️
Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴
I would suggest taking the time to listen to this whole album in one sitting.

David Bowie - Rebel Rebel - Modern Love - Let's Dance
Oh, yeah...
Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And the Spiders from Mars
He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggy's band
Do not see TVC15 suggested often…. Couldn’t agree more!
@@MacDaddyRico Such a great album!
A great album that I highly recommend...from the first track to the last!!! Simply a timeless classic
One I really like is "John, I'm Only Dancing"
This song is such a jam!
I love everything about David Bowie!
Exactly! Rock on!
who can I turn to?
One of the greatest rock and roll albums....ever!
Bowie opened his show with this one. Straight out of the gate When was him in concert years back.Was all up hill from there.
Knowing how much Amber loves saxophone, Young Americans is a must. He hired multi-Grammy award wining artist David Sanborn to play on the album. One of my favorite Bowie songs.
I've suggested Young Americans before, too! I get so lost in that song, the sax, piano, his voice! One of my favorite songs from my all time favorite singer. ❤
Always loved this song ---- plus Rebel, Rebel. Changes is another Bowie classic.
Bowie's lyrics are often left open for interpretation. He incorporated techniques used by poets, such as cutting up sentences and words and rearranging them. A beautiful example of this is the song "Quicksand".
It's hard to go wrong with Bowie. Some of my favorites are "Heroes", "Fame", "Life on Mars" and "Queen Bitch'. But there are plentyof others to love.
Not surprisingly, the "wham bam..." line upset plenty of parents at the time. Next Bowie song, "Rebel Rebel"
They must've not heard some of the other lyrics in this song. :)
“Changes” is a good one. “Oh!You Pretty Things”, “Heroes” and “The Man Who Sold the World” along with Suffragette City…. My faves! 🦋✌🏼💛
I agree with every one of these suggestions!!!!
I concur!
Bowie changed my life more than any other person on this earth. He taught me it was okay to be different.
" That mellowed thighed chick just put my spine outta place ".... now that's what I call lyrics .. good stuff......
🤣
The lyric is "mellow black chick".
Great to see you react to the music that has been the soundtrack to my life and times.
One of the best concerts I ever saw (that didn't involve Rush). Bowie was a brilliant showman as well as a fantastic singer and songwriter.
Amber has the right idea. The Ziggy Stardust album is one of a handful of albums that really need to be listened to from start to finish. ✌️🤘💀✌️
I could not agree with you more. Amazing in concert. "Soundtrack of my life" , well put.
Everyone can relate at some point, sometimes all the points in life through Bowie's music! ❤
I love Bowie. When his albums first started rolling out, I would wonder about each one, "What is he going to sound like this time?" Each album was so different from one another! I like so much, but a few good ones for a nice range is, "Rosalyn, "Jean Genie," "Oh You Pretty Things," "Ashes To Ashes," and "Breaking Glass," "Rebel Rebel," "Life On Mars?" and "Diamond Dogs."

Think along the lines of 'We are the world' and 'Do they know it's Christmas'. You'll now appreciate how many of the artists you now know. It will Also open the door to Lou Reed - walk on the wild side, Satellite of love Enjoy! 🙂
One of the best albums of the 70s.
Fun fact, Bowie originally wrote this for the band Mott the Hoople. They instead chose to record All the Young Dudes (written by Bowie) and Bowie recorded Suffrage City
Mott was saved as result of song as band was breaking up. Entire All the Young Dudes album is very good.
NO ONE HAS REACTED TO THIS ONE: Long John Baldry - "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King of Rock & Roll" (Rod Stewart and Elton John both started out playing with this man. He is credited with taking the Blues to London. The Beatles were known to go to his shows)
Best album and concert of the 1970's!!! This was huge hit! "Wham Bam Thank You Mam'!!!" Started here. Whole album amazing! A "malefact chick" comes from Clockwork Orange...
This song is all Mick Ronson, very under rated guitarist, who died in 93 at only 46. He played with it seemed like everyone at some point.
Moonage Daydream and Ronson on lead guitar. Heaven....
@@djmattn Yes! they need to see the live concert version of Moonage Daydream - so great!
Wonderful musician, arranger and a guitarist with feel. Sadly missed.
Ronson was the bandleader. Did a lot of the arrangements. Was a huge part of the albums in this era of Bowie.
@@richardmather1906 I followed him through his work with Ian Hunter. Rated his solo work highly - the release of his "Just Like This" album years after his demise was a wonderful addition to his output.
Modern Love, Let’s Dance, Changes, Space Oddity, etc. He has so many.
One of the greatest rock songs ever. So iconic perfect.
Bowie was a trailblazer and unlike anyone else out there. The more you listen, the more you understand. Hearing this live was amazing. He changed his music like some people change clothes. Maybe it's time to move into the '80's with "Let's Dance"/ China Girl.
The one Artist I regret never seeing live in concert. You never know how long we'll have these Treasures.
Stevie Ray Vaughan played guitar on that album with those tasty blues guitar licks! “Let’s Dance” is a CLASSIC!
I had tickets to see him in Salzburg, Austria in 2004. He pulled a muscle in his shoulder and cancelled his two Austrian concerts that week, I was SO BUMMED. It was his Reality Tour.
It was a bucket list concert for me. I never got to see him except the live performance on the Today Show plaza-we recorded that on a VHS tape, we didn’t have YT back then 😢
OK ROB SQUAD, THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONE DAVID BOWIE ALBUM AND THIS SONG OF COURSE COMES OFF OF IT THAT INSTANTLY TRANSPORTS ME BACK TO BEING 16 YEARS OLD (1974), HANGING OUT WITH MY FRIENDS IN THE CAR, MAYBE SMOKING A LITTLE WEED AND LISTENING TO THIS!!! EVERY SONG ON THE SPIDERS FROM MARS ALBUM IS JUST PHENOMENAL!!! THANKS FOR THE NOSTALGIA GUYS!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry to admit this but I was 12 doing the same thing, great times still an old hippie 😉
Album came out in June 1972
I was 15. My mom was worried because I was getting into punk and Lou Reed(before walk on the wild side)
Same here!
The whole "Ziggy" album is incredible . .EVERY SONG!
Bowie was such a great singer and multifaceted entertainer. His music evolved so much over the years. His last album 'Black Star' was very strange and different from his usual pop or rock genre. When I first heard the album I did not care for it, but it grew on me after awhile. RIP David.
Bowie is one of my lifelong favorites. ❤❤❤ Please try out “Heros”, it’s such a great song!
He did a duet with Tina Turner called “Tonight” and the live performance at one of Tina’s concerts is incredible! 🔥(It’s on RUclips)
Yes, they should definitely react to Labyrinth!
Rebel Rebel too !!
I live for the "Wham! Bam! Thank you, ma'am!" part of this song.
The Bowie rabbit hole is such an enjoyable MUST!!🥰
The mistake that’s easy to make hearing things for the first time is to search for a reference or genre or style to grab onto with Bowie that’s normally always impossible, that said this track is very glam rock .
"Heroes", "Young Americans" and "Quicksand" are my favorites.
No 70's Houseparty would be complete without this track.
Amber, you will love "Absolute Beginners". Also check out "Let's Dance" and "Life on Mars" all Bowie classics. Much love from England 🏴
I hope you do "Heroes" at some point. IT's such an uplitfting song. A true anthem. Or if you want to see his darker side, try "I'm Afraid of Americans". And also... add "Labyrinth" to your movie list. David Bowie is one of the lead actors.
Oh, lord, I love that movie so much!
Heroes, a song he wrote in West Berlin in the 70s. Then you listen to it and it doesn't sound 70s, it exists in its own time.
“I’m Afraid Of Americans” is a fantastic team-up with Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. It’s a great song.
Bowie was a genius and I adored him, and this is my favorite song of his! I'm so glad you listened to it!
I highly recommend his Christmas duet with Bing Crosby, "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy." A classic from five years after he recorded this 1972 banger!
They did the Bowie/Crosby song last year.
One of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time, and for me, the Gold Standard for many many years. Every new album had to compare favorably to "Ziggy" or it just wasn't worth my time.
"Changes" and "Young Americans" - STUDIO versions...sooooo good!
Bowie music universe so amazing and uniq. there is no similar artist
In a world where celebrities are a dime a dozen, every once in a while a celebrity rises to legend status. David Bowie was one of them.
No better words than amazingly Unique when it comes to Bowie. Phenomenal artist. His song "Lets Dance" is a fun one. His movie "Labyrinth" is a great look at his theatrical side. Great fantasy film way fun. Thanx so much, Stay groovy, keep smilin', Peace
Not to mention SRV playing on Let's Dance!
David Bowie Live in Philadelphia. Period! Saw him numerous times. Madison Square Garden for The Diamond Dogs Tour. Truly amazing and so many other tours. I was devastated when he passed away...
LOVE BOWIE....he changes every album of course. Rebel Rebel is a lot like this one. A deep cut on this album (Ziggy) is "Rock N Roll Suicide" which is FIRE!
I left them a link, hope they see it and follow it.
Great song from Bowie!
If you don't like a particular song by David, just find another one, it'll be different style lol. He reinvented his styles multiple times. Legend
You need David's picture on your wall. Simply one of the most unique, brilliant artists ever.
Love me some Bowie! You will like his “Rebel Rebel”, “Heroes” and “Changes”. The title of the last song will stick in your mind all day long once you listen to the song. 😉
One of the greatest artist of all time... RIP David Bowie 😎😎🎸🎸

Probably one of my favorite David Bowie songs!!! He's a chameleon for sure!!! ❤️
THIS WAS HIS GREAT CONCEPT ALBUM ( ZIGGY STARDUST ) YOU GUYS!!! 😊 AHHHHHH, WAM BAM THANK YOU MAAM! 😊 VERYYYYYY POPULAR IN THE 70'S
If you held the album cover in your hands it came with instructions on the outside and it said
PLAY AT MAXIMUM VOLUME
Can I get a witness on that
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel - Modern Love - Let's Dance
I've been into early punk rock since the mid 70s. This is when he used to travel around with the Iggy Pop. Both of them were icons of punk rock back when it was just starting out great reaction. It's about time you guys did this song
5 of my favs by Bowie, "Ashes to Ashes," "Loving the Alien," "Fashion," "Golden Years," and "Fame"
Someday find the time for yourselves to listen to the whole album, but between now and then listen to the next and final track on the album, Rock & Roll Suicide. The title sounds a little grim, but the lyrics are among the best ever, the music is great, and the whole song finishes in a very generous and supportive outpouring of emotion.
“You’re NOT alone!” What every teenager needed to hear ringing in their ears as the needle left the vinyl.
Love old Bowie with Mick Ronson and his sweet gold top guitar. Awesome album!
From this masterpiece album, I highly recommend checking out the songs “Lady Stardust”, “Moonage Daydream”, and “Five Years”.
Saw Bowie only once, on his Diamond Dogs tour. What a performer. Just missed catching him in his Ziggy Stardust heyday.
My favorite Bowie song. “Ziggy Stardust” is worthy of a listen for sure. Such a fun song inspired, in part, by Vince Taylor
Can’t edit. Forgot how much I love “Changes”
RIP Bowie
You need to listen to the album as a whole, a concept album and one of the best rock albums ever. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide is a killer ending, the scream at the end when he is telling the people who are outcasts who think that they don't belong that they are not alone will send chills down your spine. David Bowie was a true rock genius.
to grasp Bowies range you need more than the Ziggy :D try Hello Spaceboy with PSB too :D
David Bowie: LADY GRINNING SOUL✨
From the Aladdin Sane album (if you haven’t listened already)
It’s Gorgeous✨
May I suggest you get a copy of the lyrics of all of the songs you play in your videos- I think this would enhance your experience ahead of listening)
You’re Both Great To Watch😊✨
Check out David’s song I’m Afraid of Americans. It’s much later in his career but it’s awesome and the video is so cool.
I would love to see you two do a back to back reaction of the song China Girl written by David Bowie and his friend from way back, Iggy Pop. First, react to Iggy Pop's version which is actually the original version and has a rock edge to it, then listen to Bowie's version which has a dance vibe to it and was a HUGE hit back in the day. I think it would be fun to see your take on the two different interpretations of China Girl by the co-writers and good friends.
I heard the reason Bowie released this as a single was to help Iggy who was in a bad financial situation.
@@victorbortolussi2964 I'm just glad that Iggy cleaned himself up and managed to find a bit of commercial success himself. With all of the shit he put his body through it's amazing that he lived to see 30 let alone 75 like he is now.
While they are at it, they should listen to Iggy's "Lust for Life!"
David Bowie was a wonderful, creative, and talented artist. He had no ego, and was totally approachable. You could approach him as a total stranger and hold a full blown conversation just like that. He was a lovely chap. Throughout the 70's he changed like the chameleon to different styles and looks that matched his music. I grew up listening to Bowie, and his songs certainly influenced me.

If you get the time (yes, I know you're parents and there's never enough time) give the entire album a listen. It's not a 'concept album" per se, but all the songs play out the story of Ziggy Stardust. Great, great album!
Listen to the album he did on coke “Station To Station”. It has a vicious funk song called “Stay”
Don't think you've done anything by Joan Armatrading yet. I believe she's from the 70s and was more popular in UK than US, but she's definitely worth a try for Female Fridays. An often overlooked gem with many superb songs: "The Weakness in Me", "Me, Myself, I", "Drop the Pilot" and many more. I really hope you give her a try.
Down to Zero ✌️
Great reaction guys, this off my favourite album of all time Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars, every song is awesome 👍
you need to try lets dance from david bowie it hit number 1 in 1983
This is one my favorite Bowie songs. It gets ur blood flowing.
Hello Jay and Amber! I've got the perfect song for your Female Fridays Reactions... It's a gem of a song featuring four powerhouse female singers titled, "MISSING YOU", from the soundtrack of the film 'Set It Off". The singers are Brandy, Tamia, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan.
P.S.: If you two have not seen the movie Set It Off, I highly suggest you react to it on your movie reaction channel. That movie is one of the best crime dramas ever made. The movie stars, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica Fox, and Kimberly Elise. :)
the weird bowie noises at the end really make the song
Have you heard Young Americans?
They have not
This is my favorite album of Bowie.. So Awesome. The horns in the background on Soul Love are amazing.
I have loved Bowie since my teenage years and my much younger sister (19 years age difference) kinda got raised by me on Bowie as well, she even got a Bowie tattoo now. This song has always been the one we're jamming out to the most, one of our very favorites.

Bowie blew my mind in my teens with Ziggy then Aladdin Sane, the wierd lyrics, Mick Ronson on guitar, magic!
Bowie....Jean Genie, Drive In Saturday, Young American, Golden Years....I LOVE 1970s Bowie.
I love that you are both loving David Bowie as much as I did when this album was first released I lived my life through this album and to tell you how much I listened to it would be insane. Bowie was my main man and when you listened to Ziggy Stardust he took you to another world that you could envisage through the lyrics of his songs. Like '' Five Years'' depicting armagedon '' Starman '' connecting with another life in this universe '' Ziggy Stardust '' the rise and fall of an iconic pop idol. This album was amazing then as it is to this day and I still listen to this album at least once a month
Lady Grinning Soul. Beautiful song by Bowie.
Bowie is the epitome of cool. I was driving the first time I heard this track. I literally stopped the car I was so captivated - it was so different.
**********NEED TO DO... LETS DANCE*********** 80s HIT
The best thing about this time is that artists just did the music they felt without worrying about how to categorize it. Like your other review of Jefferson Starship today. What is their genre? Jefferson Starship
David Bowie at his Ziggy Stardust alter ego best! 🧡
great reaction! other Bowie songs that you might like are: Heroes (studio version!), Sons of the Silent Age, Everyone Says Hi, The Man Who Sold the World, Win .... he has endless wonderful songs. I miss him greatly
My favorite Bowie song of all time. Thank you for sharing.
This just makes me smile. Ahhh... Bowie. :)
To my knowledge, the only rock tune to use an expression ("droogie") from Anthony Burgess' famous novel A Clockwork Orange.
I woke up this morning needing to hear this song. Thanks! You will probably find you want it over and over too!
Another unique one (and my favourite) is his song *TVC15* (t.v.c.one.five) Song was influenced by *Iggy Pop*
