- Today, January 10, 2021, we celebrate David Bowie's birthday. The pop legend who died on January 10, 2016, would have turned 74 today. That's why we honour him on our home page with his most famous Toppop recording made back in March 1974.
David Robert Jones OAL (8 January 1947 - 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie, was an English singer-songwriter and actor. A leading figure in the music industry, Bowie is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. He was acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his innovative work during the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft had a significant impact on popular music.
During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide, made him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. In the UK, he was awarded ten platinum, eleven gold and eight silver album certifications, and released 11 number-one albums. In the US, he received five platinum and nine gold certifications. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Rolling Stone named him among the greatest artists in history and - after his death - the "greatest rock star ever".
This is the famous video of David Bowie recorded in the TopPop studios in Hilversum the Netherlands, under the direction of Rien van Wijk.
It was broadcast on 4 March 1974. Davis selected this video himself for the DVD 'Best of Bowie' (2004) as he really liked this recording. It was a big hit in the UK (#5) and the Netherlands (#8).
On the same day David did a press conference in the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam where he received an Edison award for 'Hunky Dory'

Love Bowie. See him live so many times . He kissed my cheek in 1972. I am 65 now, always remember that moment.
Wow, that’s a fantastic memory. I would never forget that either! 😆
How did he kiss ur cheek? Were u at one of his shows?
i saw david in 1976 doing station to station. wow..he kissed you? that's amazing.
@@jasonkeith9317 I was right in front of the stage. 1972, he would hold hands with his fans and give a kiss now and again.
@@lindamears1194 That's so cool awesome!!! Was he dressed like Ziggy??
his hair looks so fluffy and soft
OI JOSUKEEEEEE
yer maw
Dyson fluffy😊
Remember guys, Kira Yoshikage is based on David Bowie.
Mick Ronson (his lead guitarist) his wife was Bowie’s hairdresser.
Fun fact: The eye patch was from a pirate custom that one of the people working on the program had used a few days prior, Bowie used it to cover an inflammation of his eye, the guitar was just a random guitar that was laying around and just happened to be red and matched perfectly with Bowie's outfit.
It's all just a entire coincidence that it all matches.
This was told by Ad Visser the host, about 2 weeks ago on Dutch television.
Cool data, did he choose to to sport it on his blue eye on purpose?
The eye patch means you can't really see what is going on, it is occult and used by quite a few (Fake Brian Ferry) It was all an act, which is what he told a DJ that worked in Stringfellows that told me. I love the music but it was all part of the gender bender agenda and basically to get us to where we are now!!! It's a trick to make you see wide, it can almost break your heart..in pieces..
And pirates actually used the eye patch to look through their servant to navigate
Sextant. man this auto cramp sucks
@@alliew5498 LOVED THE BE SIDE MORE
This man not only changed music, he changed society norms and gender stereotypes. What a fucking champ. I love him.
he will always be in our hearts.
Too bad the gender benders turned it into a freak show now.
exactly !! I miss him..😢😢
Legend... Simple 🙏 💜 x
@@gailrochelle788 oui !
I love how he's not even trying to sync up with his guitar half the time.
Its so funny xD
Frank Irons unplugged .
Frank Irons Man, just look at 1:24
sliut1 lol
Guitar wasn't even plugged up. It was a prop dude
The man who made it cool to be different
@GuitarGary he wasn't being AC/DC. AC/DC wasn't glam rock. This is a glam rock song
@@bullyhunter9191 GG is using the term AC-DC as slang for persons who swing both ways sexually - i.e. a bisexual. Not that he finds the incredible rock gods AC/DC are "disgusting."
I was there when I happened to love it best concert ever saw
@@scinformation7229 You do realise that David Bowie is male right?
Iggy and Lou
Who is listening to this in 2020 because David Bowie is so good
ME!
No. I listened because Bowie is perfect
He is my god :D
2021
Ever!!!
This dude was a true innovator and ahead of his time. Such an iconic riff in this song. And in 1969, he said to Major Tom, "You've really made the grade". Fast forward 50-plus years, us fans tell Bowie he really made the grade. "You really made the grade, Mr Bowie". Rock In Heaven, you cool dude.
👍🏿🙏🏾Definitely on another plane than most. I love how at the beginning of the Ashes to Ashes musical video, Bowie holds up a freakin iPad. In 1980.
Definitely my ultimate Rock Star.
👩🏻🎤🎸🤖
@@mleh2512, I totally agree with you. David was far ahead of his contemporaries. In an entertainment world of clones, he was a true original.
I love David Bowie's attitude in this video and particularly the fact that he can't even be bothered to pretend to play the guitar. Manufactured and over-produced plastic pop acts of today take note.
Ditto on that! Especially since he played all guitar parts on this album-- very cool.
Hes high as a kite. Wasted fucked up.
@@FO_Biggles Rolling Stone magazine trashed the album, particularly his guitar work. Never bothered reading that rag again.
@@koomo801 Yeah, eh? Steve Simels of Stereo Review _hated_ Bowie, for no apparent reason at all. I think Bowie made him eat his reviews ... every last 1 of them.
The faking of guitar is so funny! Genius
i love the way he moves his mouth. somethin about it.
yeah he really articulates.And it's expressive.
The Vegan Scholar alien
The Scholar you know, you're right! ;) and even on all those drugs, he still has an AMAZING smile at 2:02...
Ìiuyrzz nutt mkmj
Because it made him look like he's getting really into the music and like he really liked what he was doing. It made him look happy.
I feel like this video is just iconic
It is
Are you for real? What a simp.
Who says it isn't 😉
1974
I agree, it's still iconic ...LoVe it
Who's listening to this in April 2020? What a wonderful song. I love it so much!

argentina apestada escucha a bowieeeee!!
I'm a girl who all her life refused to use high heels and make up, but when I saw David, I love high heels!!!!!!!
Nobody could change my mind as he did.
Rest in peace, my love
why u don't like high heels?it's cool! and makeup too...but bowie wears it more in shows than in his "life of every day..."and bowie's makeup is not the girl makeup to erase imperfections,it's art.
okay but your com seems that you qualify them "plastic people"...that's not very nice.
Can't listen to David Bowie and not want to wear heels and make-up! Haha!
me too lol
Therealmagic unicorn Even Bowie used girl it wouldn’t matter. It’s cool to play both gender roles.
Possibly the most memorable guitar riff of all time 🎸💥👍

Not even close but still very iconic
"Not sure if you're a boy or a girl"
Me either, mother :/
My non binary self is on a roll 🖤🖤🖤
Oof, the one out trans guy in the year above me (before there were a lotta kids questioning their gender in the years below) recommended this song/David Bowie in general to me and ah this brings back bittersweet memories for sure.
I always felt that way. Love Bowie to this day
@@m0ssy._.b0nes I am a woman because I possess a vadge. I don't walk around feeling "womanly." If anything, I feel a more masculine energy but I don't need the surface level (body) to express a particular gender. Why is there confusion? Be who you are but if you are born with certain genitalia, don't deny that either.
@@lemurianchick what confusion? i just finally accepted myself for who i am and it's great. it's not about "energy" or my body.
When my baby daughter gets older, and asks me about the tattoo on my arm, I'll be so proud to tell her about David Bowie 🥰 I'm sure she'll love his music as much as I do
yes she well because you have great taste in music
Just make sure you hide the 80s stuff.
my mate has the same thing he has the blue and red lighting strike on his arm
she will most likely think your music sucks mom
1974
He was 10 years a head of the British pop invasion of the 80s, he was a genius and a pioneer...RIP
Darrell Grant He inspired Gary Kemp Spandau Ballet and Boy George
So far ahead, love him. All ways my fav. Absolutely legend to me

You mean 70s?

David Bowie is so cool that he can play his guitar like this without even touching the strings.
4 years later, thats so funny
Ha-ha
Took my daughter to see absolute bowie, when she said her favourite was rebel rebel it broke my heart I'd never take her to see the one and only who I was lucky enough to see 5 times ⚡️
Bought this in 1974 on 8 track tape. Was 15 years old. Still have it. 🎉
I bought the single with orange label. RCA I think. Still got it 😀
I love his facial expression throughout the video - it's so natural and genuine - a bit of a smile, he just enjoys flipping this guitar prop, wearing his outfit as his alter ego :)
"You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight"
So iconic and relatable to anybody that grew up a rocker ❤
I love David Bowie, this reminds me of when I was 12 years old and I went outside dressed as a girl because I didn't want to be a boy. I grew up listening to Bowie since I was a kid. 💖😊
Always hopeful ... I hope my Bowie songs on YT makes him smile ... Its a personal connection to be able to play his music ... spiritual contact.
you're still a dude
@@Draefend If you think that, keep it to yourself. It is not necessary to ruin people's day with unnecessary negative comments.
You're amazing
Amazing ... life is good.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this song.
We miss you, David.
Fun fact, David came up with that catchy riff.
Top of thé Pop, sur chaîne allemande a mon époque... Et oui...
1974
Ppl in da disco,s came alive when this one came one
what is he even doing with that guitar
He's playing random open chords which is strange because he plays the riff in the studio recording
Kill it with fire That guitar is getting Bowie’d
lol....he looks like he doesnt even want to play it
Kill it with fire this is basically: David Bowie, the Cokehead Years.
It’s a prop
Still listening in 2022. This man was a music God. Loved him from Ziggy to finish, he was a rebel in style and content, a forever changing chameleon in sound and appearance. Loved him then, now and always.
If I'm feeling down, I always put David Bowie on. He makes me happy :)
I love you David Bowie!!! You are missed and loved very much. You changed and saved someone's life. Bowie forever!
He still lives forever as long we play his songs…
That riff was played 61 times in the song, what a killer riff
And it's still not enough 🥰
1974
The riff is relentless!even in my hood!
nearly one and a half year but still can't cope with the fact he's gone. the World isn't the Same anymore. miss you so much, rebel.
Arnold, me as well. 2020 now and I still cannot get over him. He played such a huge part in my life. I grew up with him. And I cannot let go.
@@dustythe2nd188 i know so well...
@@arnoldcorns8879 YES WE DO. THX FOR THE BEAUTIFUL COMMENT.
Happy Heavenly birthday 😢
he played such good music that even the people that wanderd about his dress and sexuality still loved him
Ziggy. You were definitely cutting edge. We'll miss you bro. We love the Hot tramps😎
that's halloween jack
this is halloween jack
wrong bowie character thats haloween jack not ziggy stardust
Halloween Jack dude.
Sorry
But It's Halloween Jack
I love that song, and David Bowie's voice is perfect!!
He voice is always on point! Love this man. Miss this man. Pissed this man is gone!!
1974
In italiano no?
I love his little smile. So happy he looks
I met him when I was very young he was playing at the tower theater in 69th streetI was walking with my Dad I thinkI was 4 years old I knew who he was he was nice to me at that time in the 70s hewas very popular and can you image him walking in 69th street unbelievable
As to playing “with” the guitar rather than actually playing it is genius. He knows we are going to know it’s a lip sync. The smaller picture of him in the right corner is supposed to represent the correct way to sing the song. He sang this in a studio because the correct lyrics of, “you want to be dead when they count up the dues” was on the album’s liner notes. Follows the line about the handful of ludes, short for Qualudes which were taken off the market. However, today on the web they report the lyric as being “ you wanna be there when they count up the dudes.”
Huh, I know this is an old comment but that's interesting
Lots of artists did that as a protest at having to mime, here’s The Stranglers, they were hilarious, particularly the drummer who ended up playing air drums with his back to the drums. czcams.com/video/xgzDQwWygAc/video.html The police also did one which was just as funny.
@@andalltheangelssay212 Wow, That's Interesting
@@J_Jiggs check out the stranglers one, and this one is The Police, Sting is hilarious, he points at the microphone to alert the audience to the fact they were miming, Andy knocks the mic stand over and Stuart drops a drumstick, protests, it was an insult to be made to mime.czcams.com/video/sYdAweppA-0/video.html
1974
He was an outstanding guy. He helped those in the LGBTQ and transgender community. Me being gay myself . This man will be missed but I know he is watching his music live on through everyone else. He was a man before his time.
Dustin Culp I HATE WHEN PEOPLE TURN THIS TO A POLITICAL RATHER THEN THE MUSIC THAT ITSELF
He actually renounced his "gay" period in a famous 1983 Rolling Stone interview in which he regretted his bisexual experiments and stated that he was actually straight. He then went on to marry a gorgeous female model. He was obviously sympathetic to the LGBTQ community, but he was NOT gay.
I was just about to leave the same comment
@@BlueEyes-gp8lg wasn't he bi?
@@BlueEyes-gp8lg Who said he was gay???? And he never actually renounced it...he continually expressed that he thought it was a stupid question. Making an issue of it now is still rather so.
One of Bowie's best looks. An eyepatch never looked so sexy. One of Bowie's best guitar riffs, all the more impressive since Mick Ronson isn't the one playing it.
The greatest pioneer of my most favourite music genre ever, "Glam Rock"! Love the fact that he actually made it okay to be different.. 💜✨👩🎤
Me tryna figure out why i have my heart melted when i i listen to this song and feel nostalgic while i'm just 16
What a song to add to Carrie's tribute. So fitting. Both one in a billion people.
G Collingwood ikr it had me on tears!
Brought me here too!
G Collingwood I hate to burst your bubble, but I think one of the reasons it was on there is because she actually had an affair with Bowie when she was only 17 - idk if that's the ACTUAL reason or not, but...
carlotta robbins yeah that ended up being false. People like to make up rumours about the weirdest things, especially with David Bowie.
@@Fitzroyfallz esp. Bowie himself.
the coolest man ever
Cool is a juvenile concern.
Una delle più belle canzoni di tutti i tempi....adoro Bowie di quegli anni....mitico Ziggy...love forever
R.I.P Halloween Jack.
One of the best songs of all time!!
I was in high school when this came out and can't believe 50 years have passed. Yet when I hear this I'm right back there like it was just yesterday.
Lyrics:
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Don't ya?
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
You've got your mother in a whirl 'cause she's
Not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Don't ya?
Oh?
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?
So what you wanna know
Calamity's child, chi-chi, chi-chi
Where'd you wanna go?
What can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too
'Cause you've torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Ooh, your face is a mess
Ooh, ooh, so how could they know?
Eh, eh, how could they know?
Eh, eh
He is so cute ♡
Beuatiful man.

I was a teenager when Bowie became famous. I remember being at the local YMCA disco and when the "Jean Genie" played everyone was on the floor dancing their hearts out to it! (Me included)
I love you so much David bowie R.I.P.
How could they know? Hot Tramp I love you so

You told them!

He had such a lovely smile, it's infectious.
Bowie was naturally different . He in no way tried to be different to be cool . He was one of the most creative song writers , composers , recruiter of talent to play and work with in composing and arranging music for recordings and for his live bands , open to all kinds of musical influences : bowie in sum total : one of the all around greatest artists in rock history . He also supported unknown talented rock bands and musicians , which gave them a lift up the ladder to success .
I cried to this song when he passed and i still get teary eyed every time i listen to it. Hands down the best song Bowie ever wrote!!!
"The stand user could be anyone"
The stand user:
He was a rebel before it was cool to be a rebel!
i love how he tries not to laugh in the background
I remember how my older brother and I were jumping around our livingroom when this was broadcast. I was 10 years old. Watching it now knowing he's gone still makes me break down and cry.

It’s funny how he makes it seem as if he has never touched a guitar before in his life and yet he actually could play guitar.
This is his character Halloween Jack . I am forever a David Bowie fan🤘🏿❤️
such a beautiful smile
This is my favorite David Bowie period when he was young and more hip. I don't mean hip hop I mean more on point with the game with his lyrics
For years,I wasn't a David Bowie fan.And that was because top 40 radio only played a few songs by David.
Once I was able to access his other music,like this song,"Gene,Genie",Panic in Detroit"
I then realized what a talent the Man was.
May the GOOD LORD Rest David in peace.
Good Guy and a musical genius.
I remember the fall of 1975...,when I was a sophomore..,my girlfriend was a senior and dancing with her in the Business class room..,nobody saw us..,David Bowie was one of my favorite rock singers..,Rest in peace..,from yr fan Richie WBear
Words cannot describe how much I ❤️ this song!
Same
1974
Absolutely unreal. Nearly 50 years ago, Bowie was not only making unbelievable music but challenging gender norms. That is insane courage. Plus, over the years, he kept experimenting with different genres of music. Plus, he looked great while pulling it off. Unbelievable !!!
"He looked great while pulling it off" 😄
I’d say it was more 70s fashion
David in the wardrobe: opts for eye patch
David on stage: can‘t find the instructions on the guitar
he's everything 😭❤
Remember being 16 dancing to this at the Crecendo Lounge in Pennsville NJ in 1974,we had music then....
No more this good music on tv and media :(
David Bowie was way ahead of his time !!
The song of my generation!!!!
Sameeveni born 2014
Released in 1974 - Who' s rocking to this in 2022 ?
Me 6'1" 250 lbs 65 yrs old black male at 2:50 pm 10-24-21 from Hagerstown Md. Saw him at the Fox Theater in Atlanta Ga. in the early 80's. He had Peter Frampton playing lead guitar on this tune and Jean Geanin
I will always believe that David Bowie was one of the most Underrated artists! He was frigging awesome and so creative.
Song define's a moment of modern struggle somewhere along the boulevard of broken dreams.
I feel alive and inspired hearing these songs but can only imagine the feeling of the muse to create these masterpieces...
Underrated??!
I love the way David is just going through the motions and he’s still fascinating to watch. 💕
love this song, bought diamond dogs album in 1974, favorite album ever
Tem alguém curtindo?

Very glam
That would be Bowie/Ziggy
Halloween Jack is my favourite persona, idk but It seems to me that this persona don't receive enough apreciation :/
I saw Bowie live three times. Greatest frontman ever. And I'm a Stones freak
I'm so jealous 😂😎
Wow. That really says a lot.
David se que no me escuchas pero debo decirte que te amo

I love how he looks when he says divine❤️

Happy birthday Ziggy🌸
It was a brilliant idea to add this song to Carrie's tribute, so touching! RIP Bowie and Carrie 💔

There's only one man as talented as David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust.
This is Halloween Jack
Bowie himself wrote this killer guitar part!
One of his greatest tracks and one of his most memorable performances. Electrifying is the word to describe the song. Love his Ziggy meets pirate look there. His good-natured mocking of the lip-sync adds to the fun.
Halloween Jack
I love his face expressions, I love him so much, I never get bored of this song. RIP
