Video News Story:
God bless the BBC ! See the story of the discovery of the lost footage on BBC website:
"If you come across anyone still unconvinced of the incredible talent of this man, just play them this clip. We all need to be so thankful it still exists. Bowie possessed an outrageous talent and the legacy will live on. Every one of us leaves their mark on this world in some form or other. Bowie's influence is incalculable".
"Love the 'Love Me Do' he threw in there are harmonica"
"I was eight years old when this came out and lived off Landor Road, Stockwell, South London, about a 10 minute walk from Brixton High Street. I remember watching this and the next day I sneaked off with my saved up pocket money to a record stall/shop that used to sell records out of cardboard boxes in Brixton Arcade. Which, now for reasons of gentirfication is more referred to as Brixton Village.
However, I ran back home and played the single on my dad's old Bush turntable. Maybe I missed out important aspects development wise, by not playing with Action men or Tonka toys or going out on my bike as all my friends did at the time, but I knew that day that music, good music, would be with me for the rest of my life.
I play guitar in a band, not professionally I'm not that good, and I've collected records, CD's and guitars all my life. Thank you Mr Bowie for amazing an eight year old working class kid growing up in quite depressing times - socially and politically - and possibly even unknowingly pointing me in the right direction destiny wise. Music is my life."
