David Bowie: Tonight (1984)


While Tonight is arguably a weaker effort from David Bowie, I still appreciate it, mostly because I had a friend is residence with truly awful taste in music. When given the chance to pop a cassette into his tiny boom box, I would always choose this, so that I could avoid Madonna and Bananarama and the other garbage littering his shelf of cassettes. I think that this is a record that has improved with age, especially if you skip the title track.

The other question I have, vis-a-vis the title track, is why were people so eager to record with Tina Turner back in the day?
