Still kickin' it!
(As usual) Pow-Lo made me think when he posted a Black Sabbath Track in the “Inn Me Edd” thread.
I’d never heard the Sabbath track before, but it made me think of some of the musical gamechangers that really did shape some of my habitual thinking during specific times of my life. I’d just turned 21 when David Bowie was brought to my attention by a DJ friend of mine (Pips, Manc.).
I was a dyed-in-the-wool soul/funk/jazz geezer at the time, having (sort of) graduated through the Northern Soul scene into the realms of the Manc. disco/soul/reggae melee and with a "zero attention span" for anything beyond those genres. Bowie changed that for me and, in doing so, opened up my personal world of musical tastes to include - well - pretty much everything.
When I listened to Pow-Low’s Sabbath track, I thought: “I never knew they were that good”.
Back in 1971, I’d had the same thought about David Bowie.
