Let’s Dance – David Bowie
The album’s title track is one of the most successful singles Bowie ever released, reaching No. 1 in the UK and USA. It is a song that achieved exactly what Bowie had set out to do when he released it in 1983 on this album. It was a song that the entire world would soon be dancing to, as well as providing the blueprint for the rest of the record. Bowie’s voice played a pivotal role in the song’s success and with that the whole album too, even though all 8 tracks don’t really sizzle like the Let’s Dance’. The catchy chorus line as Bowie sings “If you should fall into my arms/And tremble like a flower” moving to a cacophony of ‘aah’s’ that build a crescendo to the song. To this day, it is one of Bowie’s best known and most instantly recognisable songs.
