David Bowie – Right – 1975 Promo

Right is the fourth track from David Bowie’s brilliant 1975 album, Young Americans.

I have tried to construct a credible promo for “Right” from the fragments of footage shot during rehearsals and recording for the album, at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, in the latter part of 1974.

Along with Bowie, the other singers are Luther Vandross, Ava Cherry, and Robin Clark. In the video we see Bowie and Vandross working together on the complex vocal arrangements. I haven’t been able to identify the saxophone player, he’s clearly not David Sanborn. And the guy grooving next to the sax man is Mike Garson, Bowie’s pianist of course.
