Thirty years ago was the summer in which I learned who David Bowie was. This song, and the other two big hits off of Let's Dance, were the keys. As a young sax player, I loved hearing the bari sax solo in this song. The Serious Moonlight Tour, from which this song came, was recorded and broadcast on the radio. I still have my cassette and it still plays despite years and years of happy tunes.
