When he goes for it on this.... whoa.
The greatest love song ever made. Have a lovely weekend folks.

For we're like creatures of the wind And wild is the wind, wild is the wind
Originally recorded by Johnny Mathis for the film Wild Is The Wind(1957). Nina Simone also did a wonderful cover but this is my favorite.

Wild is the wind tonight. One of my favourites of his.

And just one more jam from Bowie... not penned of course by him. Originally performed by Johnny Mathias, and famously by Nina Simone. The interesting thing about this jam is incredibly sad it sounds – but the lyrics are really a most beautiful love song. Perhaps it underscores a truth about Tragic Beauty: that love and all things perfect and wonderful are best understood and appreciated within the context of despair.
