How about something from one of Bowie's good friends? Top 10 Songs You Didn't Know Were Written by John Lennon th-cam.com/video/NyC3eMk9cvE/w-d-xo.html
Diamond Dogs album and Low. These are two from my top 10 bowie albums. I just can't narrow it down to one song, it's hard to pick just one album by Bowie. The man had God given talent and was a trendsetter. He left us with such a diverse and widely individualisíc catalog of music; not to mention individual memories with friends or concerts, memories with friends, happiness, sorrow, love and grief. I saw Bowie, live in 1976 and many times after up until 2004. I had tickets to go see David Bowie for the Glass Spider tour but was in a very bad car accident which left me paralyzed when I was 23. The one good thing was that Bowie always so great to his loyal fans, that he sent me flowers. Thanks to my brother who was friends with the DJ on WMMR and they were having a call in with Bowie so my brother tried to get him to visit me in the hospital; which I probably would have killed my brother for. I had gone through the windshield and I didn't look my greatest. I had my head shaved with a 200 and some staples in my scalp. But he was such a gentleman. I could not believe he sent me flowers. I actually thought it was a family member doing it but when I saw the handwriting I knew it was he (David). Now I am going to be 60 in a few months and my heartbreaks due to the death of a few close friends and at times when I hear one of his songs still, because in my heart he was a friend. Rest among the dearly departed, Mr. Bowie, Mark, and Wayne. ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
Leave it to Bowie to give away one of the greatest rock anthems ever just to keep Mott the Hoople together. So cool...miss him so much. No one around to surprise us anymore.
Yes he did so at the ripe old age of 17, to avoid confusion with Davy Jones of the Monkees in the States. He chose the name Bowie, because of the American knife fighter Jim Bowie and the Bowie knife. David also thought the name sounded more American and that it might help his bid to break into the American market. David obviously made the right choice. His success stands as glittering proof of David making the right choices time & time again. Long Live David Bowie !!! 💙
I really like all of your videos that I've watched today. Just found you today as a matter of fact! I would enjoy seeing pictures of the actual people performing the songs rather than just seeing the artist that wrote the songs. We all know it Bowie looks like and Lennon and McCartney. But we at least in the United States are not familiar with some of the bands mentioned here.
I did know about most of these. That clip of Feathers performing Ching-a-ling reveals that part of the song at least morphed into Saviour Machine from Bowie's third album The Man Who Sold the World.
The songs David Bowie wrote for other musicians: ‘I am Laser’ - Ava Cherry and the Astronettes ‘People from Bad Homes’ - Ava Cherry and the Astronettes ‘Things To Do’ - Ava Cherry and the Astronettes ‘I am Divine’ - Ava Cherry and the Astronettes ‘Madman’ - Cuddly Toys ‘Over the Wall We Go’ - Paul Nicholas ‘Oh, You Pretty Things’ - Peter Noone ‘Growing Up and I’m Fine’ - Mick Ronson ‘Music Is Lethal’ - Mick Ronson ‘Hey Ma, Hey Pa’ - Mick Ronson ‘All the Young Dudes’ - Mott the Hoople ‘China Girl’ - Iggy Pop ‘Tonight’ - Iggy Pop ‘Sister Midnight’ - Iggy Pop ‘Lust For Life’ - Iggy Pop ‘Some Weird Sin’ - Iggy Pop ‘Turn Blue’ - Iggy Pop ‘Neighbourhood Threat’ - Iggy Pop ‘Fall In Love With Me’ - Iggy Pop ‘Nightclubbing’ - Iggy Pop ‘Funtime’ - Iggy Pop ‘Baby’ - Iggy Pop ‘Dum Dum Boys’ - Iggy Pop ‘Tiny Girls’ - Iggy Pop ‘Mass Production’ - Iggy Pop ‘Girls’ - Tina Turner
Great content but it could do with a couple of extra words in the title. Top 10 songs you (mostly) didn't know, (which) were written by David Bowie. There were at least 5 here that I've never even heard of and I've been a Bowie fan for over 50 years. Great watch, nonetheless.
Except 'All the Young Dudes,' I just don't find any inspiration in these songs. They aren't interesting. Overall, for me, David Bowie is mixed, some great songs, some I just don't care for.
@@jre617 China Girl was one of the songs that really turned me on to David Bowie when I was a young teen. I hadn't heard anything like it. Later, in my early 20s, when I discovered the Iggy Pop version, I was pretty happy. It was his own take, being more raw. It seemed crazy and awesome. Lust for Life isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it certainly turned a lot of people onto Iggy Pop, particularly after it was featured in Trainspotting. I think it was responsible for a huge upturn in Iggy Pop's career. People you'd never expect to listen to him were suddenly checking him out. I like All the Young Dudes. That was also a career saver for Mott the Hoople. I think for most people, it's the only song people know from that band. Other than the rest of the songs for Iggy Pop, I guess a lot of the other songs Bowie wrote for others weren't that great.

Bowie could sing and write and play music, everything he touched turned to gold. He's still missed, almost a decade later. 💔😇
The very best.
Ever notice how when someone covers Bowie, they sing like him.
that's true!
Bowie could have recorded any of these. They all sound so him!
That's exactly what I was thinking
You're right!
He DID record All The Young Dudes for David Live.
@@NickCC23there's a studio version recorder by Bowie as well, available on Apple.
How is it possible to have a favourite Bowie song? My list is at least a hundred long.

Fun fact: David Bowie changed his last name from David Jones to David Bowie to prevent people confusing David Bowie with Davy Jones from the Monkees
Duh!

The Glasgow band is the Beatstalkers...not Bean. They also covered another Bowie track, When I'm Five on their final single
He was ONE of a kind.

Gavourite Bowie song...Bewley Brothers on Hunky Dory which is also my fav Bowie record along with Aladinsane.
I agree, but a bit more care with the keys is required - ha ha.
What about "the man who sold the world'?!
Before he sold the world, he sold the moon - really!
I did know about most of these. That clip of Feathers performing Ching-a-ling reveals that part of the song at least morphed into Saviour Machine from Bowie's third album The Man Who Sold the World.

Scary monsters and super creeps, it came out at a time that I was working for boss who did not care about his employees.
Love that. Makes me think of a week in London I had.
sublime..
he could sing my
shopping list and i’d be right chuffed.!
😉😉😉
🕯🥺
still surreal, he’s no longer.
✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻
Ching A Ling was reworked and ended up on the album "The Man Who Sold The World" as the track "Saviour Machine". Bowie recycled numerous old tracks.
As I said before I read your comment.
I really like seven from hours which is my fav bowie album!
Ashes to ashes without a doubt
the greatest ever❤

Bowie with a Beatle haircut in 1960s, looking unusually cute. Not our usual impression of him.
He was on a TV talk show in The UK as a teenager defending having longer hair( & yep, he was!🤭)
@@ROBYNMARKOW Under his real name David Jones which he had to change to avoid confusion, with the little guy from The Monkees.
What an awfully weird edit.
Thanks
5 + 3. Seriously?
Teenage Wildlife
Well iman wasn't underage or a boy..i follow a siamese cat online called Bowie.
LMAO😂😅🐈🐾❤

What about China Girl or Lust for Life for Iggy Pop?
@@alukuhito Too bouncy, not rock, just uninspired, IMO. It's just my opinion.

@@alukuhito mmm, yeah. My fav Iggy Pop is Passenger, but I admit I like the Siouxsie Sioux cover best.
Trainspotting was a good movie.
I did know sorry.
For someone who liked underage girls I can’t see why he has almost been posthumously elevated to sainthood.
Thought it was boys?
In the wake of Savile and co, always makes me wonder why Bowie was cremated before the news of his death was made public.
It actually was proven wrong, that he slept with them.
It’s pretty amazing what wealth and blind hero worship can disprove. Take Michael Jackson for example or the antics of a drug fuelled George Michael.
Care to source your evidence of this claim?
No wonder he gave them away 😢😢 there pretty bad 😮
