	Actors - Sorrow

Sorrow was a single by David Bowie. It was a cover of The Merseys’ 1966 hit.

It was the only single released in the UK from the Pin Ups
covers project, reaching UK #3 and staying in the charts for 15 weeks. The B-side, “Amsterdam”, was a cover of a Jacques Brel song (originally called “Port of Amsterdam”), had been performed live by Bowie since 1969, and was recorded in 1971 for the Ziggy Stardust
album. It was dropped from the final release, but included as it fitted in with “Sorrow”. In France, it was billed as the A-side of the single.
