the jean genie by david bowie

rare footage of david bowie performing on top of the pops was broadcast on bbc 2 this evening. the footage, which sees the singer play "the jean genie" had been lost until last week, when retired tv cameraman john henshall came forward with a copy of the performance. it was previously believed that every copy of the uk number 2 hit had been destroyed.

fucking amazing!  i still turn into my 12 year old self swooning over bowie.  those trousers! that jacket! mark ronson!  it's all too good.
