A bit random maybe, but hey. It's the hump day and I've just crashed down from the new year low sugar / reduced alcohol diet instructed by the doc, so enjoying the rest of the evening and will start again tomorrow *nods*
One day in 1981 Bowie reunited with Queen in a recording studio in Switzerland, with the intention of doing vocals for the song “Cool Cat” . David got bored and suggested writing a new song from scratch. According to Mark Blake, author of a biography of Freddie Mercury, they began a 24 hours marathon of wine and cocaine and ended up with this musical gem. This is incredible! Back in the day when auto-tune wasn’t needed. You’d never hear this from most ‘singers’ these days.
