    Nice. I had never heard that Bowie/Lennon song - vocal similar to his whispering style on last two albums. THe song Fame which he co-wrote with Lennon was his first US no1.

    And while Bowie, who sadly passed away on Sunday aged 69 following a brave battle with cancer, lived in the capital he used to roam the city streets on his own taking in the history and stunning architecture.

    One Christmas, I asked him to play Puss in Boots in Musselburgh. His agent came back and said that £10 a week wasn’t really enough – could I get it up to £15? Management said no, we couldn’t. What Musselburgh missed!

    It always gives me pause that David Bowie performed Pierrot in Turquoise in Whitehaven. The production was subsequently filmed by STV at the Gateway Theatre on Leith Walk.

    Cumbernauld Town Centre, 1976

    I knew about the Lindsay Kemp Drummond street flat but not that Cumbernauld action.

    Michael eavis of Glastonbury says Sinatra, elvis, Bowie as the history of post war popular music. (Two on that list share the same birthday). Obviously Nat King Cole, chuck berry, aretha Franklin would be another similar list that I would also agree with.

    On that John peel half hour from 1971 that Marc Riley was playing on Monday night Bowie does a fab chuck berry cover.

    I am struck by how important I see him to have been to me in retrospect. Whereas sadly when aretha and Joni die I won't be struck by how important they are to me as I know this already.

    Yes Gembo for me "Station to Station" was his best album, followed closely by "Low", so 76-77 basically

    Station to Station got my vote on the recent 6Music poll. A stone cold classic. Not an once of fat on it. Much like the TWD at the time...
