デヴィッド・ボウイさんのインスタグラム写真 - (デヴィッド・ボウイInstagram)「DRIVE-IN SATURDAY SINGLE IS 50 TODAY “She’d sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid...” David Bowie’s Drive-In Saturday single was released fifty years ago today on 6th April 1973. The track was backed by the non-album Ziggy Stardust outtake, Round And Round, a Chuck Berry song originally titled Around And Around. Though originally intended for Ziggy, it was bumped in favour of Starman. Drive-In Saturday was the second single taken from the forthcoming Aladdin Sane album (it was the follow up to The Jean Genie), and it made #3 on the UK’s official single chart. The song name-checks Twiggy (Twig the Wonder Kid) along with Mick Jagger, whose band The Rolling Stones also covered Around And Around and whose Let’s Spend The Night Together also appeared on Aladdin Sane. As you can see from the adverts we’ve reproduced here, the image used for the promotion was another of @therealmickrock’s, this time taken during the Space Oddity shoot in 1972. The success of the single was certainly not hampered by the sublime appearance of Bowie and The Spiders on the Russell Harty Show in the UK in February 1973. However, as we only recently posted about that performance, here is David singing it in 1999 at the Elysée Montmartre, Paris on 14th October, 1999: https://bit.ly/DIS99Paris (Linktree in bio) Drive-In Saturday remains a true Bowie classic still sounding as futuristically nostalgic and exciting as it always will do. #DriveInSaturday #DriveInSaturday50 #BowieRussellHarty #BowieRHP73」4月7日 2時56分
