David Bowie had decades' worth of different personas under his belt, from Major Tom to Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke. But a recently unearthed recording of Bowie playing around in a London studio shows that he could also have been several other rock stars, if he wanted.
In the clip, a playful Bowie does musical impressions of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Tom Waits and Anthony Newley. And he nails all of them.
Recorded in 1985 during production of the oft-forgotten film Absolute Beginners, the audio was shared by record producer Mark Saunders and the family of Zach Staggers (of punk band The So So Glos) shortly after Bowie's death.
