More about Lets Dance
Lets Dance is one of the most memorable singles by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was released in 1983 as the title track for the album Lets Dance, David Bowie's 15th full-length studio album. The song became one of the biggest hits of Bowie's career and made a record number of sales in the year of its release.
The song was written by David Bowie and produced by the famous Nile Rodgers. The song's end features a guitar solo by Stevie Ray Vaughan, who was rising in the scene back then. It became the first Bowie song to peak at number one in the US and UK.
Despite the immense success of the song, Bowie never enjoyed the song as he felt that the song was his creative low and feared that people would remember him by Lets Dance. He said:
"“I pandered to that in my next few albums, and what I found I had done was put a box around myself. It was very hard for people to see me as anything other than the person in the suit who did ‘Let’s Dance,’ and it was driving me mad—because it took all my passion for experimenting away."
Let's Dance continues to be one of the most famous songs from the 1970s.
