Bowie & Jagger - "Dancing In The Street"

submitted by pigeon

1 decade 7 years 9 months ago

Recorded by Mick Jagger and David Bowie as a duo in 1985 (see 1985 in music), as part of the Live Aid charity movement. The original plan was to perform a track together live, with Bowie performing at Wembley Stadium and Jagger at the JFK Stadium, until it was realised that the satellite link-up would cause a half-second delay that would make this impossible.

It is the last UK number-one single to date for Bowie, and the only number-one success for Jagger in his native country as a solo artist.

Although a hit at the time of its release, the record (as well as the rushed video) is not particularly popular today among either Bowie or Jagger fans. =D

Yeah, there are so many others that are better. Maybe this just seems forced?

"that's terrible. who gave him that green shirt?"

those are big, big shirt pockets...

I gotta say, this is a pretty appalling video.

I love it! I think they managed to pull off a basic video by star power alone. And it was for a good cause.

I wonder why Bowie turned up in his pyjamas?

I never would have thought that anyone could dance almost as badly as Mick Jagger, but David Bowie throws it down in this one
