last week Terence very rightly chose a song by David Bowie….”Heroes” was one of the most famous songs from his Berlin period…..this week our link is a Leonard Cohen song….”First We take Manhattan”…wait?….what?…where is the link I hear you woofing…well the second line of the chorus is “then we’ll take Berlin”….we have chosen our version of the song by Jennifer Warnes..becasue we like it better than the original.

So the winner last week was the amazing tune Heroes by David Bowie. Now dis was released in the fabtastic year of 1977. In my mums life this was one of her best years (don't ask!!) so we decided to pick a tune from this year - but what? It was the year Fleetwood Mac released Rumours, one of the best albums ever. The best selling album of 1977 was Abba Arrival so we really wanted to go with Dancing Queen. But then the untimely death of Glen Frey of the Eagles came to mind. The track everyone equates with the Eagles is Hotel California and in fantastic Lexie chain symmetry this was number 1 in May 1977. So Hotel California it is!

Well done to T for winning last week with David Bowie and Heroes. A hero is someone who saved you so my choice this week is Turin Brakes with Underdog (Save Me).

Sir Terence won last week with Heroes. This was the song the GB team came out to in the 2012 Olympics. At the beginning of that wonderful Danny Boyle opening ceremony we first saw Frank Turner complete with sheep dogs and one of the songs he sang was I Believe and we have liked him ever since!

Heros come in every size, shape, nationality, color and gender. They are famous, infamous or known only to a select few. Each day a new one is born. Or we lose one. Have lost to many recently. I believe we all have the opportunity to become heros. My linky " Local Hero ".

Well done Sir with David Bowie's "Heroes". One of Bowie's discoveries was Stevie Ray Vaughn after Double Trouble played Montreaux82. Bowie asked that Vaughn play lead on his Let's Dance album. this is one of Vaughn's compositions, Pride and Joy. Chain path? Bowie was hero of discovery for Vaughn who then became Bowie's protege/Pride and Joy.

Terence won wiv Heroes from David Bowie. David Bowie and Brian Eno co-wrote the song which was released in 1977. Eno is known for his unusual and ambient music. Bowie starred in the movie The Man Who Fell to Earth. David Bowie. Interestingly in 2012, a documentary of Eno's life from 1971-1977 was released entitled The Man Who Fell To Earth. He also appears in Ride, Rise and Roar a documentary chronicling the songs of another great artists, David Byrne. So, I am going with a great Talking Heads number also released in 1977 - Psycho Killer.
