From a legendary album that changed my musical sense, this lovely version of an evergreen Rock-Blues.

  • What kind of harmonica is Bowie using?? Diatonic? Key of C, E???

  • @ashy99999

    Maybe key of E, but I'm not sure, sorry.

    Thank you for watching.

  • THIS SONG WAS NOT WRITTEN BY DAVID BOWIE BUT BY FRENCH SINGERS JACQUES DUTROC AND JACQUES LANZMANM IN 1966

  • @polodemarseille

    For what I know the rhythm and the riff of this song are quite similar to "La fille du père Noël" by Dutronc that, in turn, is similar to a song by the Yardbirds. As for I know, Lanzmann collaborated with Dutronc, but it not seems to me in his aforementioned song. Anyway, thanks for your information.

  • I used to sell music and am highly discriminating about live performances. I searched YouTube for this song. This is the best version out there! The ones with many views are a major disappointment. Thanks!

  • @houseof4doorsmc

    Oh, thank you! I welcome it as a great compliment, since you are an expert.

    And I guess also of selective tastes (that what... is shareable by me).

    Yes, it's a rich version of the song, full of brilliant energy.

    Bowie, complete Musician.

  • Classic rock that rocks!

  • Douche Bag..get a life

  • @polodemarseille: Prove it.

  • @zardoz1961 Si Bowie a reconnu que le titre était inspiré du nom de Jean Genet je crois que le texte fait plutôt référence à Iggy Pop. Fier du patrimoine français ok, mais ne poussons pas le bouchon au-delà du raisonnable ;)

  • @polodemarseille it's riff but he has had to add lyrics and a melody there is only so many riff on the planet. Ironically sweet tried to say he copied them lol

  • Soooo cool!

  • Bowie is a genius !

  • The song speak about the french writer Jean Genet .

    Great Bowie a génius !
