  1. Released today 43 years ago:

    🇬🇧 David Bowie "Let’s Dance" – 1983

    A sleek and commercially defining album where Bowie fully embraces dance-oriented pop. Produced by Nile Rodgers, the record is a defining moment of Bowie’s 80s pop crossover.

    Bowie’s vocal performance is confident and direct, matching the album’s outward-facing energy.

  2. "That Lady" is a song by #theIsleyBrothers, made famous in 1973 when it was reworked in a #funkRock style. It was originally performed as "Who's That Lady?" in a classic #RAndB vocal style by the Isley Brothers in 1964, inspired by #theImpressions. In 1973, the core Isley Brothers vocal trio had recently expanded, picking up guitarist #ErnieIsley, bassist #MarvinIsley and keyboardist #ChrisJasper to form their 3 + 3 configuration.

  4. Two suggestions for #FollowFriday and a request for suggestions rolled into one!

    I really enjoy bots as well as interactive games on #Fediverse. Giving two examples:

    @dungeons is a Mastodon-based bot that runs D&D-style campaigns through public polls. #RPG

    And @levelbot let's me know how things are in the world (at the moment of writing this one, #FunkRock levels were at 83% but fluctuating wildly.

    Now my question:
    Do you have suggestions like that for me (and anyone else out there)?

  5. "Lady Marmalade" is a song written by #BobCrewe and #KennyNolan that is best known for its #French refrain of "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?", which is a sexual proposition that translates into English as: "Do you want to sleep with me, tonight?" The song first became a #popular hit when it was recorded in 1974 by the American #funkRock group #Labelle. It held the number-one spot on the #Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week.

  7. "Fame" is a song by the English singer-songwriter #DavidBowie. It was released on his 1975 album #YoungAmericans and was later issued as the album's second #single by #RCARecords in June 1975. Written by Bowie, #CarlosAlomar and #JohnLennon, it was recorded at #ElectricLadyStudios in #NewYorkCity in January 1975. It is a #funkRock song that represents Bowie's dissatisfaction with the troubles of fame and stardom.

  10. Yeah, they were dancing and singing
    And moving to the grooving
    And just when it hit me
    Somebody turned around and shouted

    "Play that funky music, white boy
    Play that funky music right
    Play that funky music, white boy
    Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die", heh heh
    'Til you die, yeah (What?)
