Watch the performance that launched David Bowie to stardom. Thursday 6th July, 1972 is said to be 'the day that invented the 80’s’ as so many musicians who went on to be household names saw the performance and it changed their lives. Those watching that night included U2’s Bono, The Cure’s Robert Smith, Boy George, Adam Ant, Mick Jones of the Clash, Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet, Morrissey and Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Siouxsie Sioux, Toyah Willcox, John Taylor and Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode and many more. Recorded on 5 July 1972 at the BBC Television Centre in White City, London, the performance is undoubtedly one of the most essential pieces of music television ever broadcast.

Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cos he knows it's all worthwhile He told me: ""Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie"" La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (to fade) ★★★★★★ About David Bowie: David Bowie shattered the boundaries of possibility, reinventing himself endlessly and reshaping the very concept of what music and identity could be.
