A couple of oddities...

David Bowie and Cher on Cher's 1975 US TV variety show:



A medley by Bowie and Cher also from the variety show with a bit of annoying over-orchestration (oddly, there is only sound on the left channel):



In the comments section of one of the videos, someone makes note of Bowie's rather heavy drug use during the period the videos were recorded. Bowie, himself, owned up to the situation; he was living in Los Angeles at the time, and drugs were just everywhere here, as I well remember. A lot of the celebrities were swept up in the drug culture and some, like John Belushi didn't make it out. I saw an interview with Bowie years after he left LA and had cleaned up; the interviewer asked him about the stories of Bowie's drug use and he admitted they were true; the situation had gotten so bad, Bowie was losing friends left and right; finally, Bowie's long-time personal assistant finally had enough and told him she was quitting; when Bowie asked why, she pulled him over to a full length mirror and shoved him in front of it, pointed at Bowie's reflection and said, "That's why". Bowie said he got a good look at himself and realized he was farther gone than he thought; he quickly left LA and, together with Iggy Pop, left for Germany and detox. Ever since the incident with the PA, for the rest of his life, Bowie had a real hatred for LA and avoided, as much as possible, visiting or staying in LA; he once even declared the city should be razed to the ground...

I use to sit on the end of the dock of the bay, but not today:



(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
Otis Redding
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
