Put On Your Red Shoes and Dance the Blues

Though I have four other David Bowie videos here at The Excellent 80's, I just realized I hadn't posted this hit of his yet. In fact, it was Bowie's biggest commercial success peaking at #1 on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Here is the Englishman born in 1947 playing guitar with his white gloves on in "Let's Dance"...
