Bowie
David Bowie, ‘Ashes to Ashes’, 1980. Bowie’s last truly great single IMHO. It came in three different sleeves (with a sheet of stamps of the Dame in full clown outfit), the Marketing department prepared to spend money to guarantee a hit, which it was. Bowie was still relatively underground. The song hardly dented the Top 100 in the US but went to Number 1 here. After ‘Let’s Dance in 1983, Bowie went enormo huge and shifted platinum figures, but the tunes weren’t as good. As he himself said; “Shit sells”…
