Elvis Presley and David Bowie- Together in 1975 (GOLDEN YEARS)

[BW92116]

This is really odd, because I just read in an article about Bowie the other day, that he never met Elvis Presley. And that the only time he saw Elvis was when he attended an Elvis concert at Madison Square Garden, still dressed in his Ziggy outfit, arriving late with everyone staring at him. But that he never actually met Elvis face to face. Are you sure that both were in the same room for the recording of this?

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@BW92116 ..Yes, Amazing isnt it..Both in the sane Room, Same day :-)

Its like finding The Holy Grail.

@MrSTEVIERIKS

Stevie you are pushing the boundaries here with that reply I think lol.........but brilliant I love deception also

[macmaghnusa]

Don't you guys know what a wind up is!? There is only one singer on this take and it's Bowie. Nice try though...

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@macmaghnusa ..Both Bowie and Elvis My friend..Not just Bowie..AWESOME isnt it x

[ShiyinCsris]

This can't be real. It's a joke, right?

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@ShiyinCsris ... Totally Genuine..Someone sent it me..and I have it on good Authority, its them alright :-)

[julierulie33]

WOW..I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS THEM TOGETHER, THIS IS UNIQUE....AM I DREAMING..THIS IS A MAJOR FIND X

[DonvanderDeijl]

@colbertisgod66 . It is true Elvis never wrote a song, he tried as far i know end played the piano with his own music but it never came to a song. Parker had a lot off power that, wel known as also known Elvis wanna get rit of him (too late) But Elvis had the final word in everything when it came to songs. so he recorded suspicious minds against parkers demand.Also did the 68 show with binder against the colonel. The last 5 years Elvis was not realy intrested in live i guess (depression)

[Pajhal09]

magic Steve!!!

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@Pajhal09 ..What a find it is..Isnt it my Friend :-) x

[dowhatuwill]

@MrSTEVIERIKS That people think this is real is a tribute to your talent Stevie.

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@Pajhal09 .. I KNOW..THEM TOGETHER..ISNT IT AMAZING

[acoronab]

This is the best you ever done man... no words

[truthforme1]

they share the same birthday January 8th ,naturally a few years apart....

[TheAdvert1]

@15275657 are you kidding me? elvis died in 1977! have you ever heard of „aloha from hawaii"? this was in 1973. and it's true that bowie offered elvis to perform this song.

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@TheAdvert1 ..Yes and this is Them together..isnt it AWESOME

[Colbertisgod66]

Whether this is actually Elvis or not (I think it's pretty obviously not) Elvis was a biggot talentless hack. He had a proclivity for buying songs off of broke black singers/songwriters for a slight fee (usually less than ten bucks) then turning around, claiming he wrote it and making a killing off of it. Hooray for the information age! (Look that up on a random website.)

[capricorn4003]

@Colbertisgod66 i'm not doubting what you say, but if it is true he did that to songwriters, wouldn't he have been involved in a lot of lawsuits?? and if so, i don't think that information has been formally disclosed to the general public.

[piatoscanoangel]

@Colbertisgod66

wow are you so wrong fella. Elvis (numerous interviews) stated that he never wrote a song in his life. Col Parker insisted he was credited on a few songs as a co-writer only for parker to collect royalties. Yeah, EP was almost a bigot. You are as clueless as that idiot rapper Chuck D.

[scobiedog1]

@Colbertisgod66 Well you're a douche aren't you! this is a Bowie song.

[TheNacami]

It is Always a pleasure taking business with you

[MrArt8man]

This is one unique duo.

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@MrArt8man ..It sure is..What a find this is

[The0Endless0Thread]

Nice one, Mr. Riks. Erm... any chance you have any bootlegs of the little-known duet between Elvis and Freddie Mercury...?

[vincieful]

[zottelmischel]

[simonewatson3]

[gazzcapricorn]

This is a true fact Bowie did wright this song for Elvis not only did they share the same record lable at the time (R.C.A Mainman) they also share the same Birthday ...Go ahead check it on Wiki ....

[Spirou12345678]

@gazzcapricorn

So do I.

I enjoy their music, but fear the constipation and heart decease.

People keep call me musically talented, doesn't make me any more confident.

[15275657]

LOL Great treat here. It would be nice but .....  Elvis died in 1972. David was Ziggy then and Golden Years was not even written yet.

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@15275657 ..LOL..Oh Dearie me..You really have to spend more time studying the History of Rock n Roll..LOL..Elvis Died in 1977...Golden Years was Written in 1976..Ziggy was killed off in 1973..Go and stand in the corner of the Classroom, and put that Dunce Hat on..LOL X

[lesterclaypool1]

@15275657

Elvis Aron Presley died on the 16th of August 1977.

[Dylanguitar69]

Elvis died in 1977 not 72

[ZinoAziz]

My Mum love's U stevie, she is a big fan of Bowie, she says U sounds more Bowie then Bowie himself and U made Elvis come alive more mature

[n0rt0nj4zZ]

wow, i,ve been a bowie fan for years, i did,nt realise that bowie and elvis actually sang this together, AMAZING, THANK YOU.

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@n0rt0nj4zZ ..Yes, Amazing isnt it :-P x

[n0rt0nj4zZ]

@MrSTEVIERIKS this is nearly as amazing as me discovering that elton john actually played the piano solo on aladdin sane...........not many people know that.

[MrSTEVIERIKS]

@n0rt0nj4zZ ...The song features an acclaimed piano solo by Mike Garson, an American keyboardist who had recently joined Bowie's band. Bowie politely rejected Garson’s initial solo attempts, one in a blues style, the other Latin, asking the pianist for something akin to "the avant-garde jazz scene in the 60s".Garson obliged with the performance heard on the album, improvised and recorded in one take.

[molkoghost]

Bowie wrote this song for Elvis ..

[Chronobiologia]

Wow. Bowie played with the big rock star of his childhood - and within a year of Presley's death....

[LaybuyLee]
