In May 1979, David Bowie did a 2 hour radio show called Star Special in which he played some of his favorite records.
You probably heard of this legendary David Bowie DJ set at the BBC in 1979, but if you didn’t, you can listen to it now. He is spinning and commenting on it, so it’s even more special.
