Bowie on Soul Train 40 years ago today

 

“He’s so divine, his soul shines”

 

Forty years ago today, David Bowie earned the privilege of an appearance on the famous US music show, Soul Train.

Miming to Fame, his very first #1 single, and debuting his new single, Golden Years, a very nervous Bowie (calmed a little by the ingestion of something or other), answered questions from the presenter and audience from the stage.

It’s hard to imagine what those in attendance made of this bizarre apparition, but it’s clear from the broadcast that they very much appreciated this very funky white boy.

Check out a piece regarding this classic performance on DIFFUSER.
