David Bowie sings "Golden Years" on Soul Train

From November 1975, Bowie singing "Golden Years" on Soul Train. I remember watching this on WNEW Channel 5 out of New York back then. To me Bowie was at his peak then with the "Station to Station" album, saw him play at Madison Square Garden on that tour. Stopped listening to him after the 1970s, he pretty much dried up creatively after that.

Really? I thought a couple of his songs from the 1980s were good. Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), Loving The Alien, Ashes To Ashes, Let's Dance, and Under Pressure (collaboration with Queen, but still) ...even a couple from the 1990s like The Heart's Filthy Lesson and I'm Afraid of Americans.

Yeah, for me "Scary Monsters" was his last breath of brilliance in 1980. The "Let's Dance" album had a few catchy tunes and I liked the "Blue Jean" single but his albums were becoming mostly filler at that point. I was impressed with his performance of "America" at the 9/11 concert.

I really loved "Outside". Still one of my favorite albums of all time.
