- Today, January 10, 2021, we celebrate David Bowie's birthday. The pop legend who died on January 10, 2016, would have turned 74 today. That's why we honour him on our home page with his most famous Toppop recording made back in March 1974.
David Robert Jones OAL (8 January 1947 - 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie, was an English singer-songwriter and actor. A leading figure in the music industry, Bowie is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. He was acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his innovative work during the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft had a significant impact on popular music.
During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide, made him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. In the UK, he was awarded ten platinum, eleven gold and eight silver album certifications, and released 11 number-one albums. In the US, he received five platinum and nine gold certifications. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Rolling Stone named him among the greatest artists in history and - after his death - the "greatest rock star ever".
This is the famous video of David Bowie recorded in the TopPop studios in Hilversum the Netherlands, under the direction of Rien van Wijk.
It was broadcast on 4 March 1974. Davis selected this video himself for the DVD 'Best of Bowie' (2004) as he really liked this recording. It was a big hit in the UK (#5) and the Netherlands (#8).
On the same day David did a press conference in the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam where he received an Edison award for 'Hunky Dory'

I met him when I was very young he was playing at the tower theater in 69th streetI was walking with my Dad I thinkI was 4 years old I knew who he was he was nice to me at that time in the 70s hewas very popular and can you image him walking in 69th street unbelievable
Went to my first concert 1976, was 11, Bowie!
Bowie was a fan of yours?@@HappyAntenna-tk5ye
😮
Bumped into Mick Ronson in the Tottenham court road years ago!! He was great 👍❤🇬🇧❤️💯🙏
Wow!! I live in Philly.
Love Bowie. See him live so many times . He kissed my cheek in 1972. I am 65 now, always remember that moment.
Wow, that’s a fantastic memory. I would never forget that either! 😆
How did he kiss ur cheek? Were u at one of his shows?
i saw david in 1976 doing station to station. wow..he kissed you? that's amazing.
@@jasonkeith9317 I was right in front of the stage. 1972, he would hold hands with his fans and give a kiss now and again.
@@lindamears1194 That's so cool awesome!!! Was he dressed like Ziggy??
Fun fact: The eye patch was from a pirate custom that one of the people working on the program had used a few days prior, Bowie used it to cover an inflammation of his eye, the guitar was just a random guitar that was laying around and just happened to be red and matched perfectly with Bowie's outfit.
It's all just a entire coincidence that it all matches.
This was told by Ad Visser the host, about 2 weeks ago on Dutch television.
Cool data, did he choose to to sport it on his blue eye on purpose?
The eye patch means you can't really see what is going on, it is occult and used by quite a few (Fake Brian Ferry) It was all an act, which is what he told a DJ that worked in Stringfellows that told me. I love the music but it was all part of the gender bender agenda and basically to get us to where we are now!!! It's a trick to make you see wide, it can almost break your heart..in pieces..
And pirates actually used the eye patch to look through their servant to navigate
Sextant. man this auto cramp sucks
@@alliew5498 LOVED THE BE SIDE MORE
He still lives forever as long we play his songs…
I agree what is song being taken by a country and western artists talk about weak need to leave the great alone
Love that take
This dude was a true innovator and ahead of his time. Such an iconic riff in this song. And in 1969, he said to Major Tom, "You've really made the grade". Fast forward 50-plus years, us fans tell Bowie he really made the grade. "You really made the grade, Mr Bowie". Rock In Heaven, you cool dude.
👍🏿🙏🏾Definitely on another plane than most. I love how at the beginning of the Ashes to Ashes musical video, Bowie holds up a freakin iPad. In 1980.
Definitely my ultimate Rock Star.
👩🏻🎤🎸🤖
@@mleh2512, I totally agree with you. David was far ahead of his contemporaries. In an entertainment world of clones, he was a true original.
And in 1980 he said major tom is a junkie
@@La_domniz, correct. Well remembered
So was Todd Rundgren
I'm a girl who all her life refused to use high heels and make up, but when I saw David, I love high heels!!!!!!!
Nobody could change my mind as he did.
Rest in peace, my love
why u don't like high heels?it's cool! and makeup too...but bowie wears it more in shows than in his "life of every day..."and bowie's makeup is not the girl makeup to erase imperfections,it's art.
okay but your com seems that you qualify them "plastic people"...that's not very nice.
Can't listen to David Bowie and not want to wear heels and make-up! Haha!
me too lol
Therealmagic unicorn Even Bowie used girl it wouldn’t matter. It’s cool to play both gender roles.
One of the most memorable guitar riffs in music history. It is beautiful.
2024 Still listening to the incomparable David Bowie. We need him back.
He's here❤
,FLINT MI.USA yesss
Only because FM 92.7 in Tucumcari NM, played tune.
What we need for starters is a LOUD juke box!! So many pubs will take the money and play the music at such low volume. DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE NEIGHBOURS!
his hair looks so fluffy and soft
OI JOSUKEEEEEE
yer maw
Dyson fluffy😊
Remember guys, Kira Yoshikage is based on David Bowie.
Mick Ronson (his lead guitarist) his wife was Bowie’s hairdresser.
I love his facial expression throughout the video - it's so natural and genuine - a bit of a smile, he just enjoys flipping this guitar prop, wearing his outfit as his alter ego :)
I love how he's not even trying to sync up with his guitar half the time.
Its so funny xD
Frank Irons unplugged .
Frank Irons Man, just look at 1:24
sliut1 lol
Guitar wasn't even plugged up. It was a prop dude
The man who made it cool to be different
@GuitarGary he wasn't being AC/DC. AC/DC wasn't glam rock. This is a glam rock song
@@bullyhunter9191 GG is using the term AC-DC as slang for persons who swing both ways sexually - i.e. a bisexual. Not that he finds the incredible rock gods AC/DC are "disgusting."
I was there when I happened to love it best concert ever saw
@@scinformation7229 You do realise that David Bowie is male right?
Iggy and Lou
It’s funny how he makes it seem as if he has never touched a guitar before in his life and yet he actually could play guitar.
If I'm feeling down, I always put David Bowie on. He makes me happy :)
I love you David Bowie!!! You are missed and loved very much. You changed and saved someone's life. Bowie forever!
❤
He was a great showman! Loved him back in the day! All shadowed now by his history 😔
He was 10 years a head of the British pop invasion of the 80s, he was a genius and a pioneer...RIP
Darrell Grant He inspired Gary Kemp Spandau Ballet and Boy George
So far ahead, love him. All ways my fav. Absolutely legend to me

You mean 70s?
David bowie continues to inspire new generations That shows that he is really special
This man not only changed music, he changed society norms and gender stereotypes. What a fucking champ. I love him.
he will always be in our hearts.
Too bad the gender benders turned it into a freak show now.
exactly !! I miss him..😢😢
Legend... Simple 🙏 💜 x
@@gailrochelle788 oui !
The critics said Elvis used his guitar like a prop, but Bowie took it to another level..
"You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight"
So iconic and relatable to anybody that grew up a rocker ❤
HOT TRAMP I LOVE YOU SO!!! DO DO DO DO DO DO!!!
to be a free spirt is divine
I remember one morning my mother was brushing my younger brother hair and mine.
Our father said you boys have prettier hair than most high school girls.
Our Mum said isn't it lovely so long and naturally wavy.
High school rock star dreams.
"You've got your mother in a whirl,
Shes not sure if you're a boy or a girl"... timeless.
Bowie look so cool with the soft hair and dress. How we wish he was still alive.
3:52
David Bowie is so cool that he can play his guitar like this without even touching the strings.
4 years later, thats so funny
Ha-ha
"Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress." Symbolizing defiance & breaking-🆓 from societal expectations! Mr.Bowie-👍..🌄...
He went a long way from this to who he became. My heart sinks to see the past. What fun we all had..
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this song.
We miss you, David.
Fun fact, David came up with that catchy riff.
Top of thé Pop, sur chaîne allemande a mon époque... Et oui...
1974
Ppl in da disco,s came alive when this one came one
When my baby daughter gets older, and asks me about the tattoo on my arm, I'll be so proud to tell her about David Bowie 🥰 I'm sure she'll love his music as much as I do
yes she well because you have great taste in music
Just make sure you hide the 80s stuff.
my mate has the same thing he has the blue and red lighting strike on his arm
she will most likely think your music sucks mom
1974
One of the best songs of all time!!
Bought this in 1974 on 8 track tape. Was 15 years old. Still have it. 🎉
I bought the single with orange label. RCA I think. Still got it 😀
As a child through the 80's even at 3 years old I remember loving certain songs of his on the radio and then on videos and never considering them old ( even when headbanging to metallica was cool). I now understand why my mom was as hypnotized by the movie Labyrinth as much as I was at 8 years old. Even through his last days i was amazed by him. He is one of the few stars I never lost any respect for.
Possibly the most memorable guitar riff of all time 🎸💥👍
Whola Lotta Love?
the "Satisfaction" of the '70s
Stewart McKenzie Smoke On The Water
you really got me the kinks
Not even close but still very iconic
David Bowie is the man of the 🎧 music industry 😊
It was a brilliant idea to add this song to Carrie's tribute, so touching! RIP Bowie and Carrie 💔
Fisher
I was a teenager when Bowie became famous. I remember being at the local YMCA disco and when the "Jean Genie" played everyone was on the floor dancing their hearts out to it! (Me included)
that was the same for me in 1974... i was blown away by the girls dancing.. heartstopping!!!
Rebel Rebel changed my life⭐🌟🍄from Puppy Love to The most brilliant music 🎶 RIP David hope your 😢your a Starman Shining Bright 🕯️💫 We are all Heroes 🎠
nearly one and a half year but still can't cope with the fact he's gone. the World isn't the Same anymore. miss you so much, rebel.
Arnold, me as well. 2020 now and I still cannot get over him. He played such a huge part in my life. I grew up with him. And I cannot let go.
@@dustythe2nd188 i know so well...
@@arnoldcorns8879 YES WE DO. THX FOR THE BEAUTIFUL COMMENT.
I love David Bowie's attitude in this video and particularly the fact that he can't even be bothered to pretend to play the guitar. Manufactured and over-produced plastic pop acts of today take note.
Ditto on that! Especially since he played all guitar parts on this album-- very cool.
Hes high as a kite. Wasted fucked up.
@@FO_Biggles Rolling Stone magazine trashed the album, particularly his guitar work. Never bothered reading that rag again.
@@koomo801 Yeah, eh? Steve Simels of Stereo Review _hated_ Bowie, for no apparent reason at all. I think Bowie made him eat his reviews ... every last 1 of them.
The faking of guitar is so funny! Genius
I love that song, and David Bowie's voice is perfect!!
He voice is always on point! Love this man. Miss this man. Pissed this man is gone!!
1974
In italiano no?
The fact he never considered himself to be a singer and just a songwriter is more outstanding. Proof that some of us don't look further than the stars could reach ( Yeah I tried to be poetic, but hope you get the idea 💡)
Love his style. Simply iconic❤and his music well I adore it.🤟🏻🥰
The future of Country Music?
😊
One of my very Very favourite songs to sing as Lead Vocals of our Band, The Indifference in the 80's. Cousin David always produced great songs
One of my favorites by Bowie.
i love the way he moves his mouth. somethin about it.
yeah he really articulates.And it's expressive.
The Vegan Scholar alien
The Scholar you know, you're right! ;) and even on all those drugs, he still has an AMAZING smile at 2:02...
Ìiuyrzz nutt mkmj
Because it made him look like he's getting really into the music and like he really liked what he was doing. It made him look happy.
He came from the future to enlighten the present,and to make sense of the past...Starman indeed!
I love his little smile. So happy he looks
the more I spend my time with listening to Bowie the more I love this guy
The one and only David Bowie, but also the great Mick Ronson really on guitar.
Superb track and still very listenable now! Fantastic all round.
It's not Ronson. He left with the Spiders before the sessions for the album. It's Alan Parker (who also plays on 1984).
@@253timeandtimeagain2 Many thanks for that, I was not aware of any other guitarist that played on early DB tracks, appreciated!
he played such good music that even the people that wanderd about his dress and sexuality still loved him
This was one of my favorite songs that my Papa shared with me as I grew up.
That guitar tone is stellar.
I cried to this song when he passed and i still get teary eyed every time i listen to it. Hands down the best song Bowie ever wrote!!!
The greatest pioneer of my most favourite music genre ever, "Glam Rock"! Love the fact that he actually made it okay to be different.. 💜✨👩🎤
His sense of humor oozes in this video!
What a beautiful song.
God bless you 😊 david, and the great backing fantastic awesome band, thank you, happy birthday 🎂 for tomorrow 😊
Took my daughter to see absolute bowie, when she said her favourite was rebel rebel it broke my heart I'd never take her to see the one and only who I was lucky enough to see 5 times ⚡️
No matter how many times I watch this video... I still love it :3
Always hopeful ... I hope my Bowie songs on YT makes him smile ... Its a personal connection to be able to play his music ... spiritual contact.
1974
I feel like this video is just iconic
It is
Are you for real? What a simp.
Who says it isn't 😉
1974
I agree, it's still iconic ...LoVe it
This is one of the coolest ever riffs in Pop/Rock!
Rest In Eternal Peace ~
DAVID ROBERT "DAVID BOWIE" JONES
This song brings tears to my eyes
Me tryna figure out why i have my heart melted when i i listen to this song and feel nostalgic while i'm just 16
David Bowie was way ahead of his time !!
The song of my generation!!!!
David Bowie ❤ was (and is) soooo good. I love him, his songs, his different clothes and hair. Everything looked great at this charming man. RIP David! Greetings from the Netherlands
The age of the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years, so we are very lucky to be existing at the same time as Mr. David Bowie.
I was in high school when this came out and can't believe 50 years have passed. Yet when I hear this I'm right back there like it was just yesterday.
Can't live without this song! Simple lOVE it!,
I miss Sir Bowie TOOO MUCH!!
Sweeeeeetest guy to ever exist!
He always opened his later shows with this tune, it really got everyone going!
This came out in the spring of 74 and it was the best summer of my life, I was 18 and madly in love! She was a runaway from South Weymouth Ma. and somehow made it to Mo. KCMO that is!
She was 15 so I was only 3 years older but needless to say I could have gotten in big trouble but thankfully there was no reason to involve LE.
A timeless classic my fav david bowie song
Timeless Song, Legendary Artist! Need I say more! Sept 2021👍😀❤👍
I love David and will forever be grateful to him for inspiring me to just love how different I am and be at peace with myself; rest in peace Starman ❤️
I love it how icons have so much talent they don't care how they look...they're above following fashion.
I will always believe that David Bowie was one of the most Underrated artists! He was frigging awesome and so creative.
Song define's a moment of modern struggle somewhere along the boulevard of broken dreams.
I feel alive and inspired hearing these songs but can only imagine the feeling of the muse to create these masterpieces...
Underrated??!
I think the audio actually sounds better in the video. Magical.
Who is listening to this in 2020 because David Bowie is so good
ME!
No. I listened because Bowie is perfect
He is my god :D
2021
Ever!!!
Who's listening to this in April 2020? What a wonderful song. I love it so much!
Pre thin white Duke phase or Aladdin sane for that matter
Moi
Me
as long as the earth spins
argentina apestada escucha a bowieeeee!!
Bowie and Jagger are my spirit animals
Me too. It’s like they changed my life when I was a teenager.
You’ve got your mother in a whirl, she’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl..... such brilliant lyrics
Of all the David Bowie characters he's played, this one is my all time favorite: the "Sammy Davis Jr. new wave" look!!! (with an honorable mention with extra points for the 3rd sock!)
I really don't think anyone but David could do this tune. I mean simple enough to play but it's the theatrics in Bowie's voice, and those coquettish moves come together
Jagger could have had a go. I don't regard Jagger as anywhere close to Bowie's God tier though. Jagger's division 2 at very best, a poseur pretending to be a rebel.
One of his greatest tracks and one of his most memorable performances. Electrifying is the word to describe the song. Love his Ziggy meets pirate look there. His good-natured mocking of the lip-sync adds to the fun.
Halloween Jack
That riff was played 61 times in the song, what a killer riff
And it's still not enough 🥰
1974
The riff is relentless!even in my hood!
I remember the fall of 1975...,when I was a sophomore..,my girlfriend was a senior and dancing with her in the Business class room..,nobody saw us..,David Bowie was one of my favorite rock singers..,Rest in peace..,from yr fan Richie WBear
David Bowie the best singer ever!!!!!!!
i still love this cut. July 13,1985 Live Aid!!! His live version of this was and still is incredible.
Remember being 16 dancing to this at the Crecendo Lounge in Pennsville NJ in 1974,we had music then....
No more this good music on tv and media :(
I remember how my older brother and I were jumping around our livingroom when this was broadcast. I was 10 years old. Watching it now knowing he's gone still makes me break down and cry.
REVOLUTIONARY like most Bowie Tunes...Suffragette City was the greatest of all.
my youth white light white heat and one wild ride ,thank you mr bowie you will never be forgotten
The Man Who Fell To Earth
😱🫠🙂↔️🙁☹️😢
This is one of my favorite Bowie songs.
Me too.
Just give me one song as good as anything David Bowie did in the 70's, please rock gods,....
Absolute belter this track, doesn't matter what kind of music your into, definitely a foot tapper all day long. R.I.P Bowie 💙
This is his character Halloween Jack . I am forever a David Bowie fan🤘🏿❤️
Words cannot describe how much I ❤️ this song!
Same
1974
My all time favorite song was me as a teen
My daughter (5 YO) plays with her dolls and sings rebel rebel your face is a mess: so proud of her!!❤
ever since my best mate got me into david bowie I've loved him since and im only 18 live long legend david bowie u were such and inspiration to many
David Bowie was a legend of music and style! Ziggy Stardust was a persona, Bowie was the first to mix persona, music and interesting accessories with glam style!!
