When David Bowie cut his cd "Let's Dance" it was Stevie Ray Vaughn who did the excellent guitar work on the album. Vaughn was supposed to get credit for this work but Bowie claimed it himself. I have no use for this no talent slime bucket.

Steve did the guitar work maybe, but it was David Bowie who wrote the song, and the lyrics.
So give credit, where credit's due.

Odd comment Wolfie as "Let's Dance" really broke Stevie Ray into the national spotlight. "Texas Flood" really took off following that release almost simultaneously but I remember everyone talking about Stevie's guitar work on Let's Dance as much as Bowie's genius. It is definitely what turned me onto to SRV. Bowie offered to have him tour but Stevie chose to go off with Double Trouble. A good decision on his part. But Stevie eventually developed a wicked drinking problem fueled by the road that certainly affected his career. He had just found sobriety when he was killed in the chopper crash.
They are both geniuses in their own right. Why quibble?

True, but he also borrowed lots from Velvet Underground (Lou Reed)

Fess up to what? Oh yes, I remember back in the 60's one of his wives claimed to have found him in bed with Mick Jagger. I didn't care then and don't now, I think Mick is the greatest and his band the best. Ivers, as usual you assume too much.
David Bowie is a plagiarizing slime bucket and now you know it.

I have not read all the comments. Wanted to post something before I do. The tune, is mesmorizing, always has been. But there is a version that I think is much better than the studio production one. It is just too bad that I can not find it on YouTube. Well I have not gone through them all yet.
The piece he sent in to the record company. The demo, were just him and a friend of his. Bowie played the backing music on a Meletron. While his friend, David, played the guitar and sang the opening verses. Bowie sang out the calling of the numbers. Before launching into the rest of the song. This is Raw as you can get with a musician. Demo's are usually crummy and scratchy. But, Bowie was able to show engineering skills and producer skills with this demo.
The song was released on the 5 Disc Box Set: Sound and Vision. Bowie I feel is a genius and he has the albums and movies to prove it.

Right MacR & DM; if you have a good song and know how to play it right and bare-bones record it the right way, the song will push itself.
What a "million dollar digital effects rack" often does is cover up the technical and tonal limitations of the players and singers. A good song does not require a lot of effects if it is played with actual expertise on an instrument(One of Bowie's 'unrecognized talents' was on piano and another was in musical composition) and sang in key.
