[ziggystardust]

Bowie's isolated vocals are always so hauntingly fantastic...

[choirgrrrl]

Jeez, how have I gone all this time without knowing that Stevie Ray Vaughan soloed on this song!? Two absolute legends!

[OAlem]

A jazz theme for a dance song with a blues legend guitarist. Yes, that's great.

[questionitall]

Nile Rodgers is a genius. Even the first Chic hit “Everybody Dance” had jazz chords in it. His drummer Tony Thompson and bass player Bernard Edwards were incredible musicians. Rick Beato, I love these vids, you're a genius too.

[fhowland]

My god, Bowie’s vocals isolated are spine shiveringly good

[marcscordato]

David Bowie kept reinventing himself. He touched on pop, disco, and even experimental and a-vanguard a true artist. His music was compelling and heart felt.

[Hagiazo]

Just after you talk about SRV and Bowie being gone, as you're wrapping up, I can't help but get a sense of your sadness. I was feelin' it too.

[snidelywhiplash]

I love the respect for Bowie and Stevie Ray that's on display here.

[pcmechanic]

Love the heartfelt nod to Stevie and David being gone. Doesn’t seem possible...

[norcicoso]

Bowie has always surrounded himself with talented guitarists, the best of the best, From Mick Ronson to S.R.V., from Adrian Belew to Carlos Alomar, from Robert Fripp to Earl Slick and so on

[NeilHolmes]

Bowie's voice is so distinctive. Really irreplaceable.

[donna]

Bowie had such a distinctive voice. I’ve never heard anyone else who sounded like him.

[tinamichelsnelson]

David Bowie has the most beautiful voice! The creativity in the arrangement is exquisite!

[Spaceman-jomz]

It’s still hard to believe they’re both gone…Miss them both
Brilliant breakdown of this great song

[moniemonie]

This YouTube series is so incredibly awesome. It definitely gives you more of an appreciation for EVERYTHING that goes into the songs that we love to hear (and sometimes take for granted). The only bad thing is that we no longer have some of these amazing artists around anymore. Thank goodness their music lives on! Keep up the great work with the videos! <3

[SlimEstrada]

Rick, that was your best yet. You looked so moved by the end of the video. Like you, I cannot imagine how the universe got, Bob Clearmoutain, Nile Rodgers, Omar Hakim, Bowie and SRV together. I miss Bowie and SRV so much

[lorrainekaiyas]

It was a decade of pop rockers that would mimic the image that David Bowie created. Let's Dance would mean that Bowie would come back to show them how it is done
A completely inovative
original man

[BlackHayTV]

Everything about this track is brilliant. Can't help but grin from ear to ear hearing the solo'd Bowie vocal in particular. Damn....

[sauravsarmah]

We can be heroes, just for a day. Great musicians will always be remembered. Thanks, Rick :)

[johnelstad]

I was excited when I saw you were reviewing a David Bowie song, but then immediately disappointed when I saw you had selected Let's Dance, which was never one of my favorites. I'm so glad I watched your video anyway. You gave me a new appreciation of not only the song, but of the influences and contributions of the musicians and technicians who made it great. Thank you!
