A Bowie Celebration, livestream from Rolling Live Studios, Studio City, CA, January 8, 2022 (the 75th Anniversary of David Bowie's birthday)
Some of the show and several of the highlights have made it onto YouTube and are included here, but the absolute peak moment of Bernard Fowler and Judith Hill singing 'Wild is the Wind' is nowhere to be found. A real shame. It was a stunner.
