David Bowie challenged MTV in its early days for not playing Black artists. He had a way of just calling it like he saw it. Marched to his own beat and that was part of his appeal. Gave others courage to live their own truths. RIP.
He sure did. The video where he called them on it in a televised interview is still out there and he was brilliant. There’s racism everywhere but the older English rock stars saw it when they came here, in the ‘60s-80s and some of them spoke out against it. David was one of them who did it in a very public platform. Love that man.
My 69 year old mom has Alzheimer’s and I take care of her. Man she loves RUclips videos and loves music even more. My 17 yr old showed me your videos...I fell in love with your positive vibes. I started showing my mom your videos and boys she loves you guys. She forgets a lot but she remembers you two. Thank you for what you do and all your positive music reviews
Jamie, I feel for you. My mom also had Alzheimer’s. Your mom is so blessed to have you and your son in her life. Sending you strength, as much as is possible from this little screen. Stay well, stay safe.
David Bowie is one of the greatest artists of all time. Dive down that rabbit hole and explore an astounding career that kept growing and changing over decades, right up to his dying days.
Goot Lort, the David Bowie rabbit hole is deep and has many tunnels. "Space Oddity" followed by "Ashes To Ashes" "Ziggy Stardust" "Changes" "Young Americans" "Heroes." "Golden Years" "Fashion" "Sound And Vision" "Oh You Pretty Things" and "Suffragette City." And "Under Pressure" with Queen, official video if you haven't already done it. That should start you guys out, but there is SO MUCH MORE. He's a GENIUS.
The world lost David Bowie 5 years ago and 3 months later we lost Prince. Two musical geniuses! At Prince’s last concert he sang David Bowie’s song “Heroes” after he had passed. Another great song worth checking out.
Let me say this. I'm British and I'm 62 years old. In 1977 when I was 19, I first listened to this and other tracks like Sound and Vision. I said then that this was music that belonged to the future, and I still say it now when I hear Sound and Vision. It's great that you lads think the same as we did in the 70s. Our 44 year-old music then was made in the 1930's.
He was married to Black Supermodel Iman. He also went to MTV exec.and asked why they don't have any Black bands and singers...well, MTV changed and started putting all the groups and singers in their line up. He was a great man and entertainer.
@@katyas-mom I think you're wrong..the point was about David's connection to black people. Therefore, pointing out that his wife was black is important in this context.
Omg yes! More Bowie reactions! The earth is billions of years old, and we all somehow got lucky enough to exist at the same time as David Bowie. The man is a LEGEND.
He certainly was still evolving. And I was looking forward to the ride he was undoubtedly going to take us on beyond Black Star. Miss that man to this day.
Bowie's, "Let's Dance" was a good song too, but "Fame" is my all time fav of Bowie's. Bowie's widower is the model Iman. Elton John's, "i'm Still Standing" and "Benny & The Jets." Also check out Gino Vannelli's hits from the 1970's, "I Just Wanna Stop" and "Living Inside Myself." The Bar-Kays, "Your love's like the Holy Ghost." Mint Condition ('90's) Swingin'
I highly recommend David Bowie’s version of “Wild Is The Wind”. It was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis (who you may have listened to around Christmas) in 1957, and then in 1966 it was a hit for Nina Simone. Bowie covered it as a tribute to Simone in 1976. The video is black and white and jazzy and is so amazing. 💜💜💜
I was a kid when this came out, I danced every time, and I didn't realize it was David Bowie until the 80's. But yes, he is a true legend. Continue to emerce yourselves in great music.
I’ve been waiting so long for you to listen to David Bowie. He was an artist decades ahead of his time.. there so many songs you should listen to, Young Americans, Let’s Dance, Changes.. just as an example, and all three are totally different in style. He’s worth exploring like Queen’s Freddy Mercury. Also, he was the Glam Rock master, his performances were spectacles..
When this song came out I was working at the diner in my town of 200 people and had added Fame to the jukebox along w/other song that weren't 20 year old CW tunes. One old dude got up & unplugged the jukebox when this came on!!🤣
David Bowie is a legend we lost way too soon. I'd recommend you look up some videos from the late 70's thru the 2000's. He was unique, wrote his own songs & had a couple different personas. One being Ziggy Stardust. The man was simply a GENIUS ❤ Rip David you will never be forgotten & definitely admired!!💔
Love you guys! Bowie had a 50 year career and did so many styles from straight 60's Brit-pop to acid-tinged rock n roll, to funk/techno... the list goes on. May he RIP in Rock N Roll Heaven, and any time anyone suggests more Bowie you should do it.
I wouldn't mind if you literally did all of David Bowie's catalogue, the man's that legendary. From Ziggy to the Thin White Duke to the Blind Prophet, he'll make you laugh, think, dance, and even cry. He's an artist worth investing in.
@@jenathome575 definitely listen to David Bowie's "Golden Years" and "Young Americans." David could definitely sing funk and soul as well as dance and rock he was so versatile with his music. By the way he was married to the model "Iman" the beauty from Somalia. Fame, Young American and Golden Years we're released in 1975 or 1976 and ya'll are just now discovering these treasures? Better late than never. Peace and Positivity!Keep up the good work!
You are absolutely right on your assessment of David Bowie's collection, Fame and Let's Dance I have played these 💎 gems for so many yrs I cannot remember but his entire collection transcends both time and 🌌 dpa e!
"FAME" is sooooooooo funky! 😍 Please, please, please, please react to more David Bowie. He's a legend. - "Under Pressure" with QUEEN!! - "Modern Love" 🔥 - "China Girl" 🔥 - "Lets Dance" (Stevie Ray Vaughan plays the guitar solo in it! 😍)
David Bowie, one of the greatest artists of the last 50 years. A visionary. This song was co-written by John Lennon. Thank you for grooving along with Bowie.
Space Oddity live and Let's Dance live. David Bowie is an icon, around since the 1960's. He was a sweet friendly man. I saw him in the street one day, in NYC, I smiled and said hi. He gave me a smile that lit up the street and said HELLO! bright and loud, like he was greeting an old friend!
I’ve never heard of David Brownie either 🤣 but I’ve heard of David Bowie....legend. Can’t believe there are people in the world who don’t know who Bowie is, what the?
Bowie was one of the most talented musicians ever to live. A huge range of styles and an incredible voice. I hope you enjoy exploring his catalog! I'd start with Rebel Rebel and make sure not to miss his last album--realizing that he knew he was dying when he recorded it, and it's a gift to us.
David Bowie.... my all time favorite!! I was fortunate to see him in concert in 1988 at Anaheim Stadium in Cali. He’s a Legend!!! The Let’s Dance album was great but his older stuff is epic.
Not enough people describe Bowie as funk the way you did right away. Was my first thought that this is one of the best funk songs ever done! I have only really gotten into funk in the last couple years, and am still trying to dive in more!
FINALLY!!!! I've been begging for Bowie for months and months!! You did not disappoint! I KNEW you'd react well! PLEASE do more Bowie - such a diverse library of music - all so different. Yes, must react to a live performance for sure! Thank you SO much. Space Oddity, Young Americans, Golden Years, Ziggy Stardust... I'm so happy!
So many people LOVE this guy... he served up so much diversity and artistic talent and was a true gentleman ♡ please listen to a song from each of his periods plus also check out "Labyrinth" and other movies he was in ♡
Bowie was a great gift to this shabby frayed world. Now that you've found him, you have a lot to discover. Enjoy the hell out of him. Blessings on him, and on you 💕
@@monicamad1285 yes she’s an incredible singer. Most people don’t seem to know who she is. I was surprised when I found out she and Luther both sing backups on Young Americans. Now I can’t not hear their voices.
That song has got some serious funk. David Bowie could do anything with his voice. He has done plenty of songs others have listed you need to check out.
I'm sooo glad I came up in the 1970's. We had the best music black and white musicians. Y'all killing it. Do some AWB AVERAGE WHITE BAND or WILD CHERRY
The first time I heard this song I was 11yrs old when the song came out. And I loved him ever since. Listen to his StationtoStation album, so many. He passed away 3yrs ago from cancer. Was married to Iman read his history... His song Hero's.. oh, so many!!! Keep exploring you two😊
An absolute legend, trailblazer, chameleon, provocateur, there aren't enough adjectives for this man. Heroes, Fashion, Young Americans, Golden Years, Let's Dance, China Girl, Blue Jean, Under Pressure (duet with another legend, Freddie Mercury), you could spend days and days listening to his music and discover something new each time.
This is so funky. Big crossover - my man even performed this on Soul Train. James Brown even copped this for a song after he heard it. There are plenty of live performances spanning several decades on here - easy enough to find if you want to see it. One of my favorites of his is "Let's Dance," from '83.
Drums are Awesome in David Bowie's "Fame"--they really drive the song. A Timeless Classic... Bowie said that he would much rather be Creating new music in the studio rather than playing songs over and over on tour...
Thanks for reacting to Bowie ! Yes, you gotta watch him live. So many other great Bowie songs, try “ Life on Mars “ “ Young Americans” , “Changes” “Hero’s” and Ziggy Stardust . You guys are great
@@helengraves7850 I was on a bus when the Pope tweeted "Ground control to Major Tom. Commencing countdown engines on. Check ignition and ... may God's love be with you." I had held it together through the day until then ...
David Bowie was an extraordinary artist. Have a listen to Changes, Space Oddity, Young Americans, Ashes to Ashes, Heroes, Fashion, Under Pressure (with Queen), Modern Love. The list is extensive. Bowie was also an actor appearing in many movies, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Labyrinth, The Prestige and an appearance in Zoolander as himself to name a small list.
Look for The Rise and Fall if Ziggy Stardust, it’s an early concert. Also, Glass Spider and I think Live at the Tower are on video. I’m a Bowie fan since childhood, I was Aladdin Sane for Halloween when I was in first grade. He changed with the times and experimented a lot . He was a musical artist and visual artist and also an actor. I cried when he passed. What a loss it was.
My loves, David bowie is a true banger. His music catalog is huge and wonderful. Check out his ziggy 🌟stardust period. Bowie was my first concert!! I,m 62 now.
Bowie is passed, but his iconic music lives forever. Check out Ziggy Stardust, suffragete city, beauty and the beast, let's dance, modern love, & many more. Love you guys!
David Bowie has been one of my all-time favorite artists for 45 years! He was one of the pioneers of what was dubbed glam rock. He left is much too soon in 2016. He was married to the beautiful model Iman. Thanks for the long awaited reaction to some David Bowie! Love from Michigan!
When I was kid, he was a guest on Soul Train singing Fame and we fell love with him and followed his career throughout the years. They played Fame on all of the black radio stations back then.
David Bowie challenged MTV in its early days for not playing Black artists. He had a way of just calling it like he saw it. Marched to his own beat and that was part of his appeal. Gave others courage to live their own truths. RIP.
He also was invited to play on SOUL TRAIN in the 1970's and there is a Video of that performance.
He alwaya supported other artists, borrowed sounds, collaborated. He was a gift to all of us. Thanks, Starman. 🖤 🌟
He sure did. The video where he called them on it in a televised interview is still out there and he was brilliant. There’s racism everywhere but the older English rock stars saw it when they came here, in the ‘60s-80s and some of them spoke out against it. David was one of them who did it in a very public platform. Love that man.

David Bowie is one of the greatest artists of all time. Dive down that rabbit hole and explore an astounding career that kept growing and changing over decades, right up to his dying days.
O
David Bowie is a GOAT. So many songs to choose from but Let’s Dance is a banger.
I’m pretty sure they have listed to this song be for I’m 14 and heard this song 1,000,000 times. There doing it for content
His new stuff's great too, especially Valentine's Day and Love is Lost.
@@brettbuffalo2171 who’s new stuff
@@Cops-Are-stupid They grew up in a church environment and are now catching up on music they missed when younger.

Goot Lort, the David Bowie rabbit hole is deep and has many tunnels. "Space Oddity" followed by "Ashes To Ashes" "Ziggy Stardust" "Changes" "Young Americans" "Heroes." "Golden Years" "Fashion" "Sound And Vision" "Oh You Pretty Things" and "Suffragette City." And "Under Pressure" with Queen, official video if you haven't already done it. That should start you guys out, but there is SO MUCH MORE. He's a GENIUS.
Golden Years is my favorite Bowie song. Check it out! Love you guys.
They did do Under Pressure with the original video, it was great, as all their reactions are!
@@shelq3814, thanks! Got to check it out. Now we have to make them see all the old movies that make up Under Pressure, lol. JK.
moonage daydream
Good list. I'd do Golden Years next to keep the funk thing going. I don't care as much for Fashion. I'd switch it out with The Man Who Sold the World.
“It’s giving me like a funk vibe…”. Yes, so funky that Mr. James Brown himself sampled it!
Wow
Did not sample - copied it by hiring same guitarist.
@@davidalston3626 ok, but same idea. It’s unmistakeably “Fame” that JB is singing over.
@@lcozzarelli What song did he sample it on?
@@nickavenoso7851 this one. I like both songs btw, and JB remains the Godfather of funk! ruclips.net/video/6Vn--qcqxXI/видео.html

Yes. Two artists who never stopped reinventing themselves. Open to all musical inspiration. ❤️
2016 was tragic... then in December we lost George Michael. 😥
@@christyjakelpatrick9130 yes horrible year. Also lost Rod Temperton who wrote sooooo many great classic songs
2016 damn near broke me...2020 made that look like a goddamn dress rehearsal

He’s gone now. Look through his history...so many different phases. His career lasted a long time and his musical styles were very diverse.
And he was in Twin Peaks (movie)
@@joshehrendreich4058 and the Man who Fell To Earth and a vampire movie with Catherine Deneuve. Or was it Susan Sarandon?
@@pyrovania I'm fairly certain he was also in The Prestige with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. He played Nikola Tesla.
It was both of them! :)
He was also in Labyrinth
Bowie was still evolving when he passed but he left us with so much of all of his selves. “Rebel, Rebel “ is a favorite.
He certainly was still evolving. And I was looking forward to the ride he was undoubtedly going to take us on beyond Black Star. Miss that man to this day.
Lend an ear to "Lets Dance" from his music in the 80's. He was a whole mood!!
Don't
His songs from the 70s like FAME were way better than his 80s songs NOT EVEN CLOSE
Matter of opinion.
You guys should react to his song “Young Americans” live. You’ll spot a young Luther Vandross as one of his background singers.
John Lennon helped write this song played guitar and sang vocals in the background..👏👏👍
Wow I did not know that that's very cool
You can hear it in the "call and response" part of the song... 🤟
Bowie's, "Let's Dance" was a good song too, but "Fame" is my all time fav of Bowie's. Bowie's widower is the model Iman.
Elton John's, "i'm Still Standing" and "Benny & The Jets."

If i could suggest a song - Life on mars. it's my favorite song.
"Musical Chameleon" like LOVE That 🤯
I had to laugh when they said they wanted to see what Bowie looked like when performing! Where to even start...
He’s a rock n roll and fashion ICON!
I was a kid when this came out, I danced every time, and I didn't realize it was David Bowie until the 80's. But yes, he is a true legend. Continue to emerce yourselves in great music.

"Don't know the man?" Then you need to see Bowie singing "Heroes" at Live Aid.
The original unenhanced version of Hero's on Live Aid was the best with Thomas Dolby.
DAVID BOWIE LIVE WAS EVERYTHING. SO BLESSED THAT I GOT TO SEE HIM ONCE
His version of Peace on Earth/The Little Drummer Boy with another legend Bing Crosby is my favorite Christmas song.
Me too. It actually makes me tear up, lol.
It's just not Christmas until I hear that.
Bing was trippin
One of my favorites from him! The other is “Golden Years”. Play that one sometime!
THIS is how funky it was to be A teen in the 1970s ,, Fame from 1975
Man, Bowie has so many classics. You gotta listen to his collab with Queen, Under Pressure. Moonage Daydream, Starman, Let's Dance, all amazing.
They’ve definitely already listened to Under Pressure with Queen. So many more Bowie hits to go through
Love Starman, Life on Mars and Changes.
Esp moonage daydream n Station to Station
I was gonna say, they love Queen, they would so love Under Pressure. Him and Freddy...nothing better.
Under Pressure - very good one. Always.

The first time I heard this song I was 11yrs old when the song came out. And I loved him ever since. Listen to his StationtoStation album, so many. He passed away 3yrs ago from cancer. Was married to Iman read his history... His song Hero's.. oh, so many!!! Keep exploring you two😊
An absolute legend, trailblazer, chameleon, provocateur, there aren't enough adjectives for this man. Heroes, Fashion, Young Americans, Golden Years, Let's Dance, China Girl, Blue Jean, Under Pressure (duet with another legend, Freddie Mercury), you could spend days and days listening to his music and discover something new each time.
I think the guys have reacted to "Under Pressure" but didn't catch on to Bowie? Can't remember, need to go search the backlist :-)
You forgot "Modern Love".
@@lb8471 shoot, I did. Sorry!
Suffragette City!..🎵
He's a legend. Definitely one of the greats who we miss.
This is so funky. Big crossover - my man even performed this on Soul Train. James Brown even copped this for a song after he heard it. There are plenty of live performances spanning several decades on here - easy enough to find if you want to see it.
One of my favorites of his is "Let's Dance," from '83.
Drums are Awesome in David Bowie's "Fame"--they really drive the song.
A Timeless Classic...
Bowie said that he would much rather be Creating new music in the studio rather than playing songs over and over on tour...
You paused at the worst time! Lol. I know everyone was waiting for the "FAME" drop.
I said the same thing! 😂
I actually yelled "noooo, don't stop THERE!".... LOL
I was gonna say the same thing. Was checking to see if anyone else caught it. Lol
I know, right!!! I was getting ready to say the word and they paused!!!
FACT
A dance called The Bump was popular when this song came out. It was the perfect song to dance to!
"Ashes to ashes" is a must if you want to get to know David Bowie.
This man made so many assortment of songs, talented artist RIP David xx🇬🇧❤️
Y’all have found your way to one of THE greats! Welcome boys, enjoy your stay to the fullest!
Thanks for reacting to Bowie ! Yes, you gotta watch him live. So many other great Bowie songs, try “ Life on Mars “ “ Young Americans” , “Changes” “Hero’s” and Ziggy Stardust . You guys are great
I cried when he died. I got to see him in concert. Just him and his guitar
I cried the whole day. And I still remember what Hilton Als wrote for the New Yorker magazine website: "This was not supposed to happen. Ever."
@@helengraves7850 I was on a bus when the Pope tweeted "Ground control to Major Tom. Commencing countdown engines on. Check ignition and ... may God's love be with you." I had held it together through the day until then ...
@@janescribner8258 I missed that, perhaps fortunately, since I was already not holding it together! But how beautiful.
David Bowie is iconic. He's a story teller. And yes, you both should watch a live performance. There are numerous songs that I love from him.
David Bowie was an extraordinary artist. Have a listen to Changes, Space Oddity, Young Americans, Ashes to Ashes, Heroes, Fashion, Under Pressure (with Queen), Modern Love. The list is extensive. Bowie was also an actor appearing in many movies, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Labyrinth, The Prestige and an appearance in Zoolander as himself to name a small list.
Look for The Rise and Fall if Ziggy Stardust, it’s an early concert. Also, Glass Spider and I think Live at the Tower are on video. I’m a Bowie fan since childhood, I was Aladdin Sane for Halloween when I was in first grade. He changed with the times and experimented a lot . He was a musical artist and visual artist and also an actor. I cried when he passed. What a loss it was.
More David Bowie, so so so much more! Love y’all!
My loves, David bowie is a true banger. His music catalog is huge and wonderful. Check out his ziggy 🌟stardust period.
Bowie was my first concert!! I,m 62 now.
I just hope everyone else has a smile every time your notifications show up, I know I always do!!.Thanks again!!
David was awesome !!! So MANY different ways he came across to all of his fans 💜RIP
Bowie is passed, but his iconic music lives forever. Check out Ziggy Stardust, suffragete city, beauty and the beast, let's dance, modern love, & many more. Love you guys!
Ahh, my favorite STAR MAN.. Theres no words to describe Bowie.. He was an amazing legend.. RIP
David Bowie has been one of my all-time favorite artists for 45 years! He was one of the pioneers of what was dubbed glam rock. He left is much too soon in 2016. He was married to the beautiful model Iman. Thanks for the long awaited reaction to some David Bowie! Love from Michigan!
Check out Golden Years which has a similar vibe, and Bowie with Queen Under Pressure! Their live performance together was legendary.
I have been waiting sooo long for some Bowie ... yay!!!
One the best artists of the 21st century so many great songs and albums. Sadly gone but never forgotten
Let’s Dance is my favorite.
He also did Under Pressure with Queen.
mine too!
Top of the line. DAVID BOWIE, FAME!!!He is always will be incredible. Rock out!!
When I was kid, he was a guest on Soul Train singing Fame and we fell love with him and followed his career throughout the years. They played Fame on all of the black radio stations back then.
FAME CAME OUT IN 1975 The Funky 70s BABY
I saw Bowie live in his Station To Station tour...BEST concert I've ever been to (and I went to a lot) Love him so hard. Miss him!
Saw it in Cleveland totally agree
We are so lucky to be alive to know Bowie. People truly missed out before him.
