BOWIE SONG FOR ELVIS.

BOWIE SONG FOR ELVIS.


In the soon to be released book, 'An Uncommon Journey' author Lamar Fike recalls when David Bowie wrote a song for the King.

"In 1976, David's then-wife Angela Bowie, visited us all at the now-defunct International in Las Vegas, and she brought with her a song David had written especially for Elvis, 'The Prettiest Star'.

She was a bit under the weather so she didn't get to stay for the show, but gave me the song to give to Elvis. We were terrifically excited to get something from one of the new emerging acts on the music scene. Elvis was always very much aware of the next thing, and, at that point it was Bowie.

"Fike has also written a screenplay to accompany the book entitled '57-60: One of the Boys.' "The screenplay is currently with several film companies in N. Y. and L. A. Fike expects to be able to announce a deal in about 90 days."
