David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known as David Bowie (/ˈboʊ.i/), was an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, painter, and actor. He was a figure in popular music for over five decades, and was considered by critics and musicians as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft significantly impacted popular music. During his lifetime, he sold an estimated 140 million records worldwide. In the UK, he was awarded nine platinum album certifications, eleven gold and eight silver, and released eleven number-one albums. In the US, he received five platinum and seven gold certifications. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
"Blue Jean" is a song from the album Tonight by David Bowie. One of only two tracks on the album to be written entirely by Bowie, it was released as a single ahead of the album.
The song is loosely inspired by Eddie Cochran.
Following the commercial success of Bowie's previous album, Let's Dance, its singles and the Serious Moonlight Tour, "Blue Jean" was launched with a 21-minute short film, Jazzin' for Blue Jean, directed by Julien Temple. The song performance segment from this was also used as a more conventional music video.
"Blue Jean" was a hit in the UK and America, reaching No. 6 and No. 8, respectively.
The song would remain in Bowie's live repertoire for the rest of his career, being performed on tours in 1987, 1990 and 2004.
Interviewed in 1987 and asked to compare a track like "Time Will Crawl" to "Blue Jean," Bowie said "'Blue Jean' is a piece of sexist rock 'n roll. [laughs] It's about picking up birds. It's not very cerebral, that piece."
David (/ˈdeɪvɪd/; Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern David, Tiberian Dāwîḏ;ISO 259-3 Dawid; Arabic: داوُد Dāwūd; Syriac: ܕܘܝܕ Dawid; Ancient Greek: Δαυίδ; Latin: Davidus, David; Strong's: Daveed) was, according to the Books of Samuel, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel, and according to the New Testament, an ancestor of Jesus. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040 – 970 BCE, his reign over Judah c. 1010–970 BCE.
The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only Old Testament sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan Stele (dated c. 850–835 BCE) contains the phrase בית דוד (bytdwd), read as "House of David", which many scholars confirm to be a likely plausible match to the existence in the mid-9th century BCE of a Judean royal dynasty called the House of David.
Depicted as a valorous warrior of great renown, and a poet and musician credited for composing much of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms, King David is widely viewed as a righteous and effective king in battle and civil justice. He is described as a man after God's own heart in 1 Samuel 13:14 and Acts 13:22.
Blue is the colour between violet and green on the optical spectrum of visible light. Human eyes perceive blue when observing light with a wavelength between 450 and 495 nanometres. Blues with a higher frequency and thus a shorter wavelength gradually look more violet, while those with a lower frequency and a longer wavelength gradually appear more green. Pure blue, in the middle, has a wavelength of 470 nanometres. In painting and traditional colour theory, blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments, along with red and yellow, which can be mixed to form a wide gamut of colours. Red and blue mixed together form violet, blue and yellow together form green. Blue is also a primary colour in the RGB colour model, used to create all the colours on the screen of a television or computer monitor.
The modern English word blue comes from Middle English bleu or blewe, from the Old French bleu, a word of Germanic origin, related to the Old High German word blao. The clear sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the blue wavelengths are scattered more widely by the oxygen and nitrogen molecules, and more blue comes to our eyes. Rayleigh scattering also explains blue eyes; there is no blue pigment in blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called atmospheric perspective.

I put this together from a variety of sources of variable quality, some of which was originally silent, and synched it with the version of the song performed live in Santa Monica 1972. Play it loud and enjoy!
Music video by David Bowie performing All the Young Dudes. (C) 2004 ISO Records made under license to SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT
I put this together from footage taken mainly from the Dunstable and Aylesbury shows which Bowie played in the summer of 1972. The silent footage has been synched with a BBC radio session recording of 'Starman' which I have manipulated slightly to give a more 'in concert' sound and then edited to match the footage. This video was not made for profit, just for other fans to enjoy. Check out my other videos of Bowie live in 1972 here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0AMduz7O8xHBOBFvZz9qsXMP2FsHM-Bl Turn the lights down low, turn the music up loud - and enjoy!

David Bowie - "Heroes" - French TV “Remaster” - 1977 “Heroes” was originally released as a single in September 1977 and was then subsequently a track on David Bowie’s “Heroes” album, released in October 1977. The “Heroes” material was remarkably quickly recorded (usually in one take) and mixed in August 1977. Then the album and the single were released equally swiftly, in September and October respectively. During those two months, Bowie undertook a short promotional tour, recording TV shows, where he performed “Heroes”. During the same period, Bowie also shot the Stanley Dorfman directed, “Heroes” video. The recordings were: UK - The Marc Show – September 7th UK - Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas TV Special – September 11th UK “Heroes” video shoot - September 25th Italy – Odeon...

Short trubute to David Bowie in the movies. Made by @mennomail for CinemaTV: cinema.nl/cinematv. Films used: Thursday's Child (video), The man who Fell to Earth, The Hunger, The Hunger tv series, Basquiat, Labyrinth, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, The prestige, The Last Temptation of Christ, Love you till Tuesday (video collection) and Loving the Alien (video). Music: The Man Who Sold The World (David Bowie, live 1996), The Hunger soundtrack, The Letter (David Bowie, from Earthling).
Recorded on 23 April 1979 in London for ITV's 'Kenny Everett VIdeo Show'. Bowie performs to a newly recorded version of the song. Check out his white nail polish. This was shown on a TV tribute to Bowie earlier this year. I've cropped out the channel logos but otherwise left it untouched. For the sake of completion, I've also added the skit Bowie and Everett perform after the song finishes. This is from a different source and the video quality isn't as good - but still very watchable. Enjoy.
