David Bowie on Soul Train

David Bowie wasn’t the first white artist on Soul Train—though the Internet often states that’s the case, it was actually Elton John—but he still managed to bring the funk with his jams to an audience that may not have been as previously into his music with this November 1975 appearance. The video below contains interview segments between Bowie and show creator/host Don Cornelius as well as performances of “Golden Years” and “Fame.”
