Marianne Faithfull and David Bowie Perform I Got You Babe at Marquee Club
On October 19, 1973, David Bowie performed a memorable duet of 'I Got You Babe' with Marianne Faithfull at the iconic Marquee Club in London. This recording came right after Bowie had released his groundbreaking album 'Aladdin Sane' earlier that year, which showcased his unique blend of glam rock and theatricality. What's particularly interesting is that 'Aladdin Sane' features some of Bowie's most famous songs, including the title track and 'The Jean Genie.' The performance captured his evolving artistry, as he was undergoing a significant phase in his career where he embraced a more avant-garde style. Bowie's collaboration with Faithfull also reflects his willingness to push musical boundaries and experiment with different genres, further solidifying his role as a pivotal figure in 1970s rock music.
