…died yesterday.
I wasn’t the biggest fan, and certainly not over a long
period of time. I never saw him in concert.
Just a couple of comments…
His song “Heroes” is one of the
most moving pieces of popular music I have ever heard.
On his album “Let’s Dance,” he had the creative vision to
have Stevie Ray Vaughan perform as lead guitarist; before Vaughan was known to
anybody, he was known to Bowie – having seen him play at Montreux. Vaughan – one of the best blues guitarists of
all time – was selected to play lead guitar on what could be called a dance
album by Bowie – one of the most progressive rock musicians ever.
I did not know that Vaughan played with Bowie. That´s nice to know. I admired the work of both but never saw either in concert. ¨Heroes¨ holds a special place in me as it is deeply associated with my late teenage years.
