Just goes to show how popular David Bowie was with black's in the black community...me and all my friends and relatives and strangers in the streets who loved to dance would sing along and dance along to the sounds of Englishman David Bowie...his music was groovy and exciting and it was just a feeling you felt when you listen you can't help but get up and dance the night away... OHH 😯 my goodness watching this VIDEO can't help but bring back good time memories when people were happy and getting along and feeling the music and dancing and smiling through and through😁 it was so exciting back then ❤❤❤❤ nothing but fond memories of Mr David Bowie ❤❤❤
My mom is black and my dad is white. My mom loved David Bowie!!!! I remember as a kid she would play 70's music in the house, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, etc. Black, white, Mexican, didn't matter.... She was playing good music!
David Bowe loved the black community and fought for them. He found it so bizzare that they could not be on MTV or other musics. Look online this man had their back and called people out on it. No politics just telling the true! Thank you RIP an amazing man.
He was ahead of his time in so many ways. There is a great interview where early in MTV's history, he confronts the interviewer about the channel's lack of exposure for black artists.
To me, this is a perfect song. It's a masterpiece. I was 5 when it came out, I remember being 7 or 8 and hearing it on the radio, and the song scared me. I don't know why, maybe it was the tone, but it was a scary sound. But I liked it.
Never listened to Bowie until I heard this song on A Knights Tale, also being a huge Elvis Presley fan I found out Bowie actually wrote this for Elvis since both with RCA
I was about 8 years old living in Marin County, CA when this song came out and it was on the radio all the time. It always connected with me. I really like(d) music and listened to a lot of different bands, but nothing places me right back to playing in my bedroom in that beautiful house more than this song. It was a great time to live in that area but we moved soon thereafter and nothing was ever the same in so many ways. I never knew how prophetic and poignant this song was until all these years later.
Many don’t know this but Bowie wrote this song for Elvis Presley to record but he died before that could happen. Elvis would give this tune some serious soul, even Al Bell of STAX commented how Elvis would sing anything.
The Golden Years in anyone's life is only when you are young and have everything right,good,and nice in your life-OR-If in the later years you become extremely successful in many ways-And success that was very difficult to achieve,when you were younger-These are really Golden Years!🥰😇
Could blue-eyed soul be any more cooler in 1976? Bowie at his chameleon best transfers into Philadelphia Soul from Glam Rock a few years before. This dance masterpiece holds up nearly 50 years later.

Soo could've absolutely seen ELVIS killing this = AS much as Bowie. Trying to say it's a heavily Elvis 'sounding song & vibe'. Bowie wrote it for Elvis!

1975 was a good year for music and this was definitely one of them.
He was ahead of his time in so many ways. There is a great interview where early in MTV's history, he confronts the interviewer about the channel's lack of exposure for black artists.
Takes me right back to Paul Kantner(?) and Blows Against the Empire album...
Yup I watched great interview and he put that interviewer in their place.
Oh yes! My late father & l loved Bowie back in the 70s! Now they've met! Rip Daddy. Great upload.
When I think of David Bowie 1975-1976 period will always be how I remember him.
I used to watch Soul Train regularly and it wasn't often they featured a white artist.Bowie was an amazing artist
A white rose, with infinite talent. David RIP
2:46 "Nothing's gonna touch you in these GOLDEN YEEEEEAAAAAAARRRRS!"
I have been listening to Bowie for 40 years
You know ur good performing on soul train RIP MR DAVID BOWIE❤
To me, this is a perfect song. It's a masterpiece.
I was 5 when it came out, I remember being 7 or 8 and hearing it on the radio, and the song scared me. I don't know why, maybe it was the tone, but it was a scary sound. But I liked it.
sounds like crap, and how in the world he got on SoulTrain
Great song. Sounds like nothing else. As terrific as any of the Soul Classics of that era. And there were quite a few
Never listened to Bowie until I heard this song on A Knights Tale, also being a huge Elvis Presley fan I found out Bowie actually wrote this for Elvis since both with RCA
A timeless classic, brings back memories of the mid-1970s
I was about 8 years old living in Marin County, CA when this song came out and it was on the radio all the time. It always connected with me. I really like(d) music and listened to a lot of different bands, but nothing places me right back to playing in my bedroom in that beautiful house more than this song.

Dude was singing bangers LIVE on SOUUUUUUUUUUUUL TRRAAAAIN!
Golden Years is a real golden bronco!
That's what i call 'singing'; that's what I call 'dancing'.
Such a genius, we were truly blessed 💖
..its fitting that David appeared on Soul Train...he WAS soul to the bone....
Those spectators really knew how to dance.
Makes me wonder
Did they hire fill in dancers or was life and music so great back then that it was that easy to vibe n move like that
It was a show called soul train. They had professional dancers in the "audience"
Oh yeah! Dancing burns lots of calories!
No fatties
or gordos
on the Soul Train flo😊
Soullllll traaain…….soul train dancers…google them, they were cool
Ci that again broth3
David Bowie actuando en soul Train, definitivamente esto es puro años 70's
One of my favourite Bowie songs. Love it!
I absolutely love listening to Bowie live. He was stupendous in concert. This, is, well, can you say lip sync? I know you can! 😅😅
Love all the dancing people, just found the chords for this song and playing it on piano
True golden years 🎶🎶🎶🫂❤️🙃
Excellent sound...Many-Thanks..!
A strong case to invent a time machine if ever there was one.
The range in his voices was cool👍👍
I remember this! It was history. ❤️
Happy birthday David Bowie rip
Te amo Bowie ❤
También, me gusta David Bowie, el es uno mal culo tipo blanco. nos vemos
Excellent Sound...Many-Thanks...!
Thank you too!
Classic ❤
The Elvis & John Lennon of the 70s.
Many don’t know this but Bowie wrote this song for Elvis Presley to record but he died before that could happen. Elvis would give this tune some serious soul, even Al Bell of STAX commented how Elvis would sing anything.
Elvis and Bowie share a birthday. I would love to have heard Elvis sing this.
Ziggy STARDUST RIP LOVE ❤

They played this video during an interview with Bowie, he said he didn't care for it because he was "clearly intoxicated".
Great video
Oh yes flowing rolling great music great instruments real ones I know what are those write 😊
I was 12, about to go to choir practice and saw this on TV.
That was it......
How could anyone be so cool?
Whatever...
Nice. Groovy song by Dave. You can tell, cos the black people are dancing. 🧐 👍
They don't make music like this any more 😊😊😊😊😊😊!
Holy Shit! Is this real?
Yes
Chinging his chops off
Just about the only white singer who can play to a black dancing crowd.
Elton John did too
Britain's a had loads of decent dance music,if you're black or white
Brilliant ❤
Merci monsieur David Bowie j ai 62 ans et
Toujours autant de plaisir à vous écouter merci Bowie
THIS VIDEO - JASON DONOVAN WITH DAVID : OUT LIKE THE 40'S - SAY CHEESE

❤❤❤
Molten gold
💯
🇬🇧simple as.
Only white guy there ! LOL
This song is about doing shadow work
A shame it all prerecorded and not live
jacked
Non so quanti bianchi si sono potuti esibire a Soul Train
Bowie wrote this for Elvis but it was rejected
Bowie asked Elvis if he can record this. Elvis declined or the Colonel declined.
Video is stretched. Why?
Because wide videos have been popular on TH-cam for many years. I didn't bother scaling down.

I can't hear this and not think about Elvis.
So Elvis turned down this song. Read Bowie gave to Elvis to sing. But. Now we hear this version of late great David Bowie.
Really...
"American Bandstand".... Give credit, Smurf****.
Why was there no mention of Soul Train in the credits? Ugly business this show biz.
*when Bowie taught Soul Train about chorus and tempo
So high on coke he didn’t remember
I loved Soul Train, they always had such great talent; from the artists to the amazing dancer!
E
Very slow learner......
Cool
