Songs Elvis and Bowie Could Have Shared

Angie Bowie,In her book(Gibson),Stardust writes that David Bowie could do a "devastating" impersonation of Elvis Presley.

Presley did, in fact, once consider recording a cover version of Bowie's 1976 hit, "Golden Years." Truth is, the two rockers had much in common, from a shared record label to Svengali-like managers to a preference for flashy jump suits. To commemorate their common birthday – January 8 – we thought it would be fun to consider a handful of songs the two could have shared.

10. "Golden Years" (1976): Bowie himself believed this single from his pioneering techno-soul album, Station to Station, would have been a perfect fit for Elvis. Thematically, the song could have served as a fine capstone to all that had gone before in The King's career. It would also have been interesting to hear what James Burton might have done with the track's angular, disco-fied guitar riff.

4. "Fame" (1975): What song in the Bowie canon could be more fitting for the world's most famous rock and roll pioneer? Performance-wise, Presley could have owned this 1975 hit, and could have imbued lines such as "got to get a rain check on pain" with a ringing authority emanating from his very soul. To have heard Presley take on an undiluted funk style – jumping headlong into a genre he never really embraced – would have been a treat as well.

David Bowie Retires

All the fans of David Bowie is waiting for jubilant return on stage once again but according to Rolling Stones it seems that Thin White Duke has quietly retired. For real.

Bowie last performed in public years back and since then he is out with a three-song set at the BlackBall charity concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City says the Rolling Stones Andy.

In 2004 during his tour he had a heart attack and his tour was cut down and he told to New York Magazine that he had no plans to return to the stage said Andy.

Greene synopsis that many pop stars who have officially announced their retirements come back to the stage a few years later, including Bowie himself, who popularly retired at the height of Ziggy Stardust mania in 1973. "The fact he's said virtually nothing this time around indicates he may well be done forever," Greene said, before cheekily adding, "…though in a few weeks the annual 'Bowie's headlining Coachella!!' rumors should once again surface."

David Bowie and Mick Jagger – “Dancing in the Street”


David Bowie and Mick Jagger,with collaboration had released a video 'Dancing in the Street',it is really hard to inhale that how can two people as eternally cool as these two come up with something so embarrassing?

They both gives one hell of a performances in there video, it has no head and tail. The video entrance gives no sense and its hard to analyze what they actually want to demonstrate in this video

“Dancing in the Street” is more like two dads on a rare night on the town after one beer too many. Is it just my imagination or did Bowie’s trench-coated dark alley dance later go on to be adopted by none other than Rick Astley in, yes, that video which must not be named? The simultaneous butt-wiggle at the end confirms that they are definitely in on the gag, except the joke here seems to be bigger, and more hilarious, than ever intended.

'U2 owe David Bowie a lot'

Band owe most of their success to David Bowie revealed by the U2's Bono.

The frontman of the band praised that it is the Bowie who brought new style of singing in our band and the success of that can be seen since last 30 years.

He told Rolling Stone: "U2 owe him a lot. He introduced us to Berlin and Hansa Studios; to collaborating with Brian Eno.

"It's the high singing, beyond your 'man' voice into the feminine. And there's the staging, the attempt to be innovative.

"Bowie wasn't afraid to use scale, to dramatise things. His setlist was not just a jukebox he could run through. It was drama."

The 'Vertigo' star also described Bowie as a UK version of Elvis, because he caused a "radical shift" in the music scene.

He continued: "It's not exaggerating to say what Elvis meant to America, David Bowie meant to the UK and Ireland. It was that radical a shift in consciousness.

"The first time I saw him was singing 'Starman' on television it was like a creature falling from the sky. Americans put a man on the moon. We had our own British guy from space - with an Irish mother."
