+kevin stark , Hi Kevin, This is the Ist song that put me on to Bowie. I was 17 ( 1980 ) and played it on a local pub jukebox. My older work mates bought me 3 beers in the session.Underage drinking not so strict back then in Australia ( almost looked 18 ). I had heard of the name Bowie so I selected this track. I am not surprised that boys aged 5 to 17 instantly like this masterpiece. I smiled when David said Good Night George near the end of this clip. God Bless you both.
+veritaseros actrually it is kind of obvious.i think he was surprised that a 5 year old would understand this song.i think that would be his question.why does he like it?probably just the music.
I love the look on Bowie's face when he hears George's voice. Everything disappears: celebrity, rockstardom, arrogance - just an old man humouring a wonderful little kid. Love this so much.
"...hi David Bowie!" Bowie is pure genius. this is one of my favourite tracks of his. And his album 'Heathen' ranks up with his greatest work. ...let the renaissance continue!
I am just so amased at this clip. And it shows how genuine Mr Bowie is with Georgie. I only wished the call wouldve continued. This is the best rendition of Ashes I have ever heard. Bravo.... Kimmyskunk
I could imagine the emotion of this 5 years old kid almost crying...could he imagine make a request to David Bowie himself to sing Ashes to Ashes and even call you back later? Only on my dreams...
This is heartbreaking to watch now. I know something is very wrong The post returns for prodigal songs With blackout harks with flowered muse With skull designs upon my shoes I can’t give everything I can’t give everything Away Seeing more and feeling less Saying no but meaning yes This is all I ever meant That’s the message that I sent I can’t give everything I can’t give everything Away
David Bowie is DEFINITELY the coolest! And, as you can see by this video, he is most caring and compassionate. And if I had to pick one, I would say this is my favorite David Bowie cut.
David Bowie, when on his game, reminds me somehow of Mikhail Barishnakov. Ashes to Ashes is such a personal song. About addiction. It really hits home. What a true artist.
My daughter, 15 at this time, is also taking after mom and is quite the Bowie fan. I guess I was the one that introduced her to David's music. It's also a parents job to make sure your children listen to tastful great music.
This is such a AWESOME clip thanks so much for sharing this. I love David Bowie. It is a flash back to my not so wasted & incredible youth I'm sitting here smiling & comfy chair dancing. Got to get out there & beat the sweltering heat on my lighter almost day off looking forward to light day Friday. Peace & be well. Have a most incredible day.
You closed your eyes, take that one last breath and probably said to yourself "my job here is done!" So you left the blue Earth... Thanks for showing me that it's ok be different and that I can be a hero. Somehow you're mine and I'll always be thankful for this. See you in another place
That kid will be telling that story for the rest of his life! What a great moment! Oh yeah..Bowie rocked too! One of the greatest artist of our generation. I'm happy. Hope you're happy too"- One of my favorite lines Dave!
David bowie always has world class musicians in his band .Bowies talent has not lost a beat and his still one of my favorites .His music is art .Ashes to ashes is one of my favorite ,I love sci-fi and the song just leaves so much to the imagination.
i remember taping this when i was like 12 and constantly trying to get my call in lol I used to be obsessed with david Bowie ive loved him since i was 9 and hes still one of my favs and im almost 20 :) .... You are an inspiration David :D
@humyak That was the sweetest thing I have seen in a long time. Thank you for exposing your son to such great music. It shows David was touched....just l ook at what a great job he did with this song.
Number one in the charts when I was born and I would still go and see him live. I mean - I would literally main - and kill - to go and see him live. :oD DAVE!!!
Congratulations, Kevin, my family were watching the live broadcast, and that was the highlight of the entire show. Having 4 of my own, I can imagine how it felt to be able to give such a gift to your son. Cheers!
I saw Bowie live in the early 90's. A great performance and a great show to go with it. So talented and so professional. Imagine having a catalog the size of his and being prepared to take requests?
I remember when i was like 12 i taped this ... lol I absoulutely love David Bowie been a huge fan since i was 9 and i'm almost 20 now.... he helped me to love being different :) .... He is the best there is !!!
Of all the artists in the entire world, David's the one I most want to sit down with and talk about anything, even if it's just the weather. The first question I'd ask him is where he got all that charisma. The second question I'd ask is, do they have any more?
The guy was one of a kind, that's for certain. With his passing I am officially almost out of living music heroes. The day Paul McCartney dies I am packing my things and moving to Mars. "Night night, George!"
George just turned 18. He really did like this song when he was only 5.Liked to SING it all the time. Cheers all. KEVIN AND GEORGE IN HOUSTON
Beautiful history. Greetings from spain!
Always makes me smile watching this clip ... Best wishes from UK

+kevin stark love you guys
Did he actually call later?
"Hi David Bowie." Haha! So great, only a kid would phrase it like that.
If I was George I would spend the rest of my life wondering what Bowie was going to say, but never did because of the band starting.
+veritaseros Probably David called later, as he said. :-)
+veritaseros actrually it is kind of obvious.i think he was surprised that a 5 year old would understand this song.i think that would be his question.why does he like it?probably just the music.
+veritaseros Exactly veritaseros. :) So sad that David has died so young.
George got good taste in music
maybe he said it in the song ;)
With 5 years old kids listening to Bowie the future of music is saved.
Omg I can't get over how cute that was
so sweet
He had such charisma. What a kind, talented and handsome man. We will miss you x x x
my son heard Bowie in my wife's womb through headphones she wore on her stomach while taking naps we wanted him to be awesome... he is
I LOVE David's reaction to George's request!! He was so humored. His smile was priceless............R.I.P. Mr. Bowie.
Love this. If I was George, I would never stop talking about this for the rest of my life. Lol...what a cutie. Rip David. You were one of a kind!
R.I.P David Bowie but know this..your music will live on forever!
What a talent and a genuinely nice guy. RIP DAVID BOWIE.
One of the sweetest Bowie moments, followed by my favourite song. RIP. There will be another one like him.
+grunkert No other*
"Hi David Bowie!" is the CUTEST THING EVER.
Perfect live version of the most perfect song
my daughter just turned ten, and I just introduced her to Bowie. I've been a fan for 30 years...rock on BOWIE!!
David is so lovely when he answer to someone ,in particulary with kids ...another proof of his capacities:lovely man David !
Hahaha hilarious and adorable to hear that little boy request a song about heroin withdrawal. You can see the laughter on that ageless face.
You are Loved by many RIP David Bowie.You music lives on as you do in Heaven.
An original, one of a kind TRUE artist. There will never be any one like him. Never ever. He's home now...
Damn, that haunting guitar riff is still killer after all these years.
These three guitarist are so locked into each other. Some of the finest textured, layered and beautiful guitar I have ever heard.
I love the look on Bowie's face when he hears George's voice. Everything disappears: celebrity, rockstardom, arrogance - just an old man humouring a wonderful little kid. Love this so much.
Rest in peace, David!
rip david.
I'm happy, hope you're happy too! Great line.
My favorite Bowie song and loved his reaction to the request - RIP sir.
Oh I am so sad... Loved you David... condolences to your family... xxxx
You are right this is a great song. My favorite song for George is THURSDAY CHILD since he was born on a thursday ! GOD BLESS YOU Kevin in Houston
What a lucky boy George. David is sooo sweet and adorable!!! What a class act and Legend!!
That absolutely amaaaazing so adorable!!!!!!! The look on Bowie face was priceless
Awesome I have loved David bowie since I was a kid love him and his funky style pop punk glam.
So much love for David Bowie, i missed all of the 80's because i wasn't born yet, but thankfully his music lasts forever!
I love how at the end he says " night night George"
cause he's one decent, muthafuckin CLASS ACT. Never will be anyone like him.
Always and forever a gifted an highly talented artist.Truely timeless!!
Back when A&E didn't suck. I miss the live by request shows.
"...hi David Bowie!"
Bowie is pure genius. this is one of my favourite tracks of his.
And his album 'Heathen' ranks up with his greatest work.
...let the renaissance continue!
I am just so amased at this clip. And it shows how genuine Mr Bowie is with Georgie.
I only wished the call wouldve continued.
This is the best rendition of Ashes I have ever heard.
Bravo....
Kimmyskunk
Le sourire de David,légendaire😢.Merci ❤
I could imagine the emotion of this 5 years old kid almost crying...could he imagine make a request to David Bowie himself to sing Ashes to Ashes and even call you back later?
Only on my dreams...
This is heartbreaking to watch now.
I know something is very wrong
The post returns for prodigal songs
With blackout harks with flowered muse
With skull designs upon my shoes
I can’t give everything
I can’t give everything
Away
Seeing more and feeling less
Saying no but meaning yes
This is all I ever meant
That’s the message that I sent
I can’t give everything
I can’t give everything
Away
He didn't want the world to know he was leaving us...never one for self-pity. Bowie gave his all till the end.
this song always gives me a chill..a subtle feeling of the galaxy chipping away into the void. so lovely, thanx for posting this!
That call was simply adorable! ;)
Oh hes beautiful! And his music...so amazing!
one of the best world performers on the stage and non voise no toking.....the best performer
the waving when he says night night george
What a great guy. I miss you already.
"Dad, what's a junkie?"
ThePhalaeo ooh ow that’s some heavy stuff right there
Funniest thing I ever heard, reminds me of my now 26 year old.
"Ask your mother."
Yeah someone who takes too much chocolate He isn't allowed to.
David Bowie is DEFINITELY the coolest! And, as you can see by this video, he is most caring and compassionate.
And if I had to pick one, I would say this is my favorite David Bowie cut.
David Bowie, when on his game, reminds me somehow of Mikhail Barishnakov. Ashes to Ashes is such a personal song. About addiction. It really hits home. What a true artist.
Bowie is the real deal . . . a true class act. God we need him now in this age of crap bands and singers who can't sing. One of a kind.
WOW...so amazing....just gives me the CHILLS ....that song is probably the best David has done so far ....Thanx fro posting ....
can't... handle the cuteness in this...
My daughter, 15 at this time, is also taking after mom and is quite the Bowie fan. I guess I was the one that introduced her to David's music. It's also a parents job to make sure your children listen to tastful great music.

Peace & be well. Have a most incredible day.
Yes! I've been looking for this episode for a long time! "Can you play Ashes to Ashes for me?"
- "Hi David Bowie!"
- "Hi George!"
I like this kid!
"Hi David Bowie can you play Ashes To Ashes for me?"
LOL!!!!!!
Great clip thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing rendition. His band is so tight and awesome.
You closed your eyes, take that one last breath and probably said to yourself "my job here is done!" So you left the blue Earth... Thanks for showing me that it's ok be different and that I can be a hero. Somehow you're mine and I'll always be thankful for this. See you in another place

I'm happy. Hope you're happy too"- One of my favorite lines Dave!
That kids dad is my hero, I wish I could have talked to someone as talented as David Bowie when I was five! Might have changed my life?
David bowie always has world class musicians in his band .Bowies talent has not lost a beat and his still one of my favorites .His music is art .Ashes to ashes is one of my favorite ,I love sci-fi and the song just leaves so much to the imagination.
one of the best live videos ever i've watched it three hundred times at least
Louie Louizes Even more watches by myself. 😩
Bowie is Amazing.
Love this great song.
Great Artist and a great Group.
i remember taping this when i was like 12 and constantly trying to get my call in lol I used to be obsessed with david Bowie ive loved him since i was 9 and hes still one of my favs and im almost 20 :) .... You are an inspiration David :D
I don't think there are words to discribe how much I respect and love David Bowie.
there you have it, yet another generation of Bowie fans. Good on yer George !
He looks fantastic. Total legend.
Just watched this for the 100th time and it always puts a big smile on my face. Lucky cutie George!
wow! this version absolutely kicks arse!
One of my favourite Bowie moments ever, not least because I used to sing this to my son when he was 5 and it was his favourite too
@humyak That was the sweetest thing I have seen in a long time. Thank you for exposing your son to such great music. It shows David was touched....just l ook at what a great job he did with this song.
king of pop
Number one in the charts when I was born and I would still go and see him live. I mean - I would literally main - and kill - to go and see him live. :oD
DAVE!!!

I hope George got to talk to him after the song. I saw this when it was knew and I thot it was soooo cute!! Thanx for putting this up!
George, where are you? haha I would beso happy if I was Geroge!
Out in space? Or Just in Wisconsin?
Brilliant song, brilliant performance!
Excellent. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to get the quirky sound right in a live show but they nailed it. And rocked it up, too.
My favorite Bowie concert ever - absolutely perfect! (Love love love)
Congratulations, Kevin, my family were watching the live broadcast, and that was the highlight of the entire show. Having 4 of my own, I can imagine how it felt to be able to give such a gift to your son. Cheers!
Can you imagine being one of those privileged musicians to accompany this great artist? My heart would soar...
why do I feel so sad..
That was the sweetest...
I saw Bowie live in the early 90's. A great performance and a great show to go with it. So talented and so professional. Imagine having a catalog the size of his and being prepared to take requests?
The piano riff gives me chills every time.
I remember when i was like 12 i taped this ... lol I absoulutely love David Bowie been a huge fan since i was 9 and i'm almost 20 now.... he helped me to love being different :) .... He is the best there is !!!

AMAZING
ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Fokin livin legend, this man is unique, one of a kind, great, great band behind him, most respect!
That is absolutely the cutest thing I have seen in a long time. Holy crap that made my maternal girly side squeel with joy!
I wouldn't worry. He's vastly appreciated and has influenced anyone who's any good. Most cool stuff can be traced back to him.
What a beautiful moment in time Kevin. You and your son can always treasure it.
I love tjis beyond words and love his happy enthusiastic nature. I love David Bowie and it all began with Labyrinth.
+Tamera Lomax same here :)
Amazing performance. David is a lovely man, underneath all the glam and fame he's a good person.
The guy was one of a kind, that's for certain. With his passing I am officially almost out of living music heroes. The day Paul McCartney dies I am packing my things and moving to Mars.
"Night night, George!"
my god, how sweet was that, my hero from age of 13, 40 now, still get goosebumps
I wonder what George felt when he heard David passed away....
+Kaan Kaya I wonder the same he was a lucky boy
Most underappreciated musical genius ever!
It's great when he says "I'd love to that". The broadcast is touching.
he live forever on his músic!!
