David Bowie Instagram – GOODBYE NICKY GRAHAM

This morning, Kevin Cann posted about the sad passing of Nicky Graham whose career with David Bowie may have been relatively short, but he made an important contribution, nevertheless.

Very sad to report that musician, songwriter and producer Nicky Graham has died aged 79. 

He will forever be appreciated by the worldwide Bowie community for his help and support for David in the early days of GEM management, where by day he would make endless phone calls to venues around the UK booking David Bowie and the Spiders’ earliest legendary shows, and by night would join David and band on stage and play piano – dressed as a Spider from Mars, with the Spiders from Mars. 

He worked for and with David and band for six months, from February to August 72, and was with them when they made their never to be forgotten Top of the Pops ‘Starman’ appearance that same year. 

A genuinely nice man, well respected in the music industry and greatly missed by his family, Nicky passed away on Saturday, February 3rd 2024.
David Bowie Instagram – REBEL REBEL 45 IS FIFTY TODAY

“Hot tramp, I love you so…”

Though the press adverts proclaimed that it was a Valentine’s Day release, Rebel Rebel was actually issued fifty years ago today on the 15th of February 1974. The release, which had already been put back two weeks (original printed release date on demo label is Feb 1st), was an edited version of the song and a first taste from the upcoming Diamond Dogs LP, though it was considered a bit of a curveball compared to much of the music on that album. The single was backed with Queen Bitch.

It was the first release since the dissolution of The Spiders From Mars, though stylistically it may have been more at home on Aladdin Sane, with its up-tempo, Stonesy feel and with an unmistakable and instantly recognisable riff that he was more than grateful to have conjured up, later saying of it: “It’s a fabulous riff! Just fabulous! When I stumbled onto it, it was ‘Oh, thank you!’”.

The track reached #5 on the UK singles chart (Bowie’s sixth Top Five single in the UK), and even managed a placing in the US Billboard Hot 100, no doubt helped by the exclusive New York Mix, which was almost a minute and a half shorter than the regular single mix. The New York Mix was released in North America and Mexico in May 1974 backed with Lady Grinning Soul.

This second version was more urgent than the original, with a backward echo effect on the new la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la backing vocals, castanets, and more general excitement all round…more akin to the live version that would be performed shortly on the US Diamond Dogs tour.
