David Bowie – Rubber Band

To celebrate Decca 90, here is David Bowie in 1969 singing a track from 1966 set in 1910. Another highlight from Kenneth Pitt’s film, Love You Till Tuesday, here in fully restored HD, we see Bowie singing Rubber Band, which had been his debut single on Deram in late 1966. Miming to the album version of the song, Bowie dons moustache and straw boater to become a love-lorn Edwardian sitting at the bandstand. Look at 46 seconds for an early example of a classic Bowie pose, as he places his hands to his head. A fascinating period piece.
