He really nails the voices and just the inflections and mannerisms. Not to mention he's super funny it's like an inside joke if you know the artists then you know what I mean. Thanks for making the videos!
and i can sing along word for and almost note for note. Shame Marc Bolan was killed; he was about to do a comeback, some maybe thought it not a great idea but i for one was looking forward to it. Miss both of them. Cheers Steve Riks.
I've been a Bolan fan for 40 years and this is great. I can tell it's done with love and respect. Very funny and really great impersonations. Best Bowie impersonation I have ever seen
This is my number 1 Stevie Riks grand production, absolute perfection on Bowie and Bolan, not just their voices but physically too, like Bowies dance moves n Bolans constant throwing his head back n giggling, I always hoped they would get on n perform together and now they have, although to be honest Stevie they probably wouldn't have sounded as good as you. Right I'm off to watch Chelsea Dagger clip then Gary Numan " in Spar'. Don't suppose youd do a Marc Almond/Jools Holland clip, they collab a lot and both have very distinctive voices, perhaps do a 'Later With Jools' show, then you can be all the guests on it, . I'd love to see that. ❤️
Underneath all the comedy there is actually a lot of skill in this video both musically , vocally , the impressions and also the seamless conversation because of playing both parts . Top man , it's so ridiculously believable :-)
This is freaking amazing Rock on brother. I loved T-Rex when I was in middle school and was hanging out with the wrong crowd according to mom lol didn't into Bowie until after high school Class of 1982 baby
Stevie, I've been a fan of yours for years, you are so spot on on all your imitations.... but I have to say your Bowie stuff mesmerises me. I wish you would have done the Grammys!
Hilarious! I've been a Bolan fan for nearly 35 years and this vid has made my face ache from smiling. I love how you've used his camp presenting style from the old Granada 'Marc' show (he should have fallen off his stool at the end while David laughed!).
OMG!! I was 13 when we got to 1970 by 1972 onwards my friends and I would go to the local dance for under 18's. Obviously no alcohol. We would also go to Saturday afternoon danced for under 16 years old. We would hear all the T. Rex and David Bowie singles. There were plenty of other musicians we loved. Me? it was Alice Cooper, my best friend it was Bolan. Now 50 years forward all we can do is reminisce. I just wish Stevie had done "The Laughing Gnome"
You're the dogs bollocks Stevie,fantastic,your impersonations never cease to amaze me and you should be up there with the best of them,keep 'em coming Stevie!
He really nails the voices and just the inflections and mannerisms. Not to mention he's super funny it's like an inside joke if you know the artists then you know what I mean. Thanks for making the videos!
The David Bowie is unbelievably good. And, who could imitate the Marc. I haven't seen anyone this good.

Talent at its finest. Both of them to a tee. Top job, Stevie.
The voices are spot on!! I almost can’t watch it because it makes me sad that they never got to hang out for longer together.
Your Bowie is one of my favorites.
Wow - nailed both of them. You vanish into the character - just brilliant!
Wouldn't it be great if Marc were still around and he and Bowie were doing stuff like this together? Fanstastic! Thanks for sharing.
Haters my friend..They'll "Thumbs Down" anything I put out there. It makes them happy. Sad really isn't it.
OMG! I can't even know what to say! This is beyond awesome!!!!
Now they are jamming in heaven :D
While seeing this I don't have to miss Marc so much and I have a good laugh. Great job!
This guy can do anyone - amazing!
This guy is awesome. Why haven't I heard of him before now!!
It's kind of great that he can bring those great days back so brilliantly, hilarious, a genius
how can you be so good ? just brilliant
brilliant! love this Stevie! always lifts me up when I'm feeling down RIP Marc & David

Oh my what a laugh this was..excellent
So accurate and hilarious from the first moment. Genius Bowie was such a card. Both taken too early! Both missed. Both forever enjoyed!

Stevie, you are hilarious and talented. Your impressions are spot on.
Totally legendary!
This is freaking amazing Rock on brother. I loved T-Rex when I was in middle school and was hanging out with the wrong crowd according to mom lol didn't into Bowie until after high school Class of 1982 baby
