💿DAVID BOWIE🎸BLACKSTAR (2016)
Definitely a top-tier Bowie lp imho. Quite shocking that he died 2 days post-release. Sharing several DB lps on the 79th anniv. of his birth & 10th since he passed, & not necessarily his most famous ones.

'Crossword Puzzle'
A highlight of an overall strong lp with hard funk jams, clever lyrics, several ballads, etc. Seemingly an updated version of his pre-'Riot' music!
