I used to wonder why I loved that Bowie's Modern Love so much & then years late I realized Niles Rodgers produced it. David Bowie had the title song Modern Love sounding like a folk song, & then Niles changed it up by speeding it up & placed the funky groove under it. & the rest is history.
favorite from back in the day
RIP
Rest in peace, David.
He had just turned 69yo on Friday. Like others have said too ... fuck cancer. Affects so many people & families the world over. Just talked with World B about that having lost a number of family and friends to the disease in recent years. Including an aunt (also 69) to stomach/intestinal-based illness a few years back.
Also lost a friend to throat cancer (and I was the one to discover their dead body) after they had battled for 2 years.

“I’m well past the age where I’m acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You’re not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you’re not going to get played on radio and you’re not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.”
