Oggi David Bowie avrebbe compiuto 71 anni e, in ricordo dell’artista scomparso, la Parlophone Records ha pubblicato una demo version inedita di Let’s Dance, brano del 1983.
La demo fu registrata a Montreux nel 1982 e, in studio con Bowie, c’era una band composta da Rodgers, Erdal Kızılcay e uno sconosciuto chitarrista e batterista svizzero.
Qui il commento di Rodgers sulla registrazione del brano:
I woke up on my first morning in Montreux with David peering over me. He had an acoustic guitar in his hands and exclaimed, “Nile, darling, I think this is a HIT!”
The time we spent mixing it just before Christmas was full of tears as it felt like David was in the room with us. Happy Birthday David, I love you and we all miss you!
Auguri, David. Continueremo ad ascoltarti sempre.
