Day 160 | Funtime

Bowie had a long history of collaborating with Iggy Pop dating back to his producing the Stooges’ Raw Power. The Bowie influence is especially noticeable on Iggy’s The Idiot and Lust for Life. Bowie not only produced, co-wrote and sang backup on those albums but he actually toured as Iggy’s keyboard player. The exercise was linked to their mutual support in trying to overcome drug addiction, but in the process they made some great music. Bowie was always the bigger star so he didn’t draw much attention to himself while backing up Iggy, but nonetheless he deserves part of the credit. Album: The Idiot.
