Actors - Tonight


The 1984 album Tonight became David Bowie
's next big dance album, featuring collaborations with Tina Turner and a cover of the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows
". Critics slammed it as a lazy effort, dashed off by Bowie simply to recapture Let's Dance
's chart success. Yet the album bore the minor hit "Blue Jean", whose long-form video, a 22-minute short film directed by Julien Temple, reflected Bowie's long-standing interest in combining music with drama. It also featured the minor hit "Loving the Alien". The album also has a pair of dance version rewrites of "Neighbourhood Threat" and "Tonight", old songs Bowie wrote for Iggy Pop
, both of which originally appeared on Lust for Life.
