	Actors - Knock on Wood

Knock on Wood was a cover by David Bowie, recorded live during his 1974 US tour and released as a single in the UK in 1974.

With Bowie becoming fascinated with soul music on his 1974 American tour, a rendition of Eddie Floyd’s 1967 hit “Knock on Wood” was added to the live repertoire. This was chosen from the Tower Theatre recordings for the live double album David Live
to be released as a single in the UK, with “Panic in Detroit” from the same concerts as a B-side. In America, “Rock ‘N’ Roll with Me” was chosen to promote the album. The British single made #10 in the charts, while the American version failed to chart.

Bowie’s fascination with soul would peak in 1975 with the Young Americans
album.
