Bowie Jean Genie influences
4 videos
So many excellent noms over the festive period!Quite a few of my B-List picks were on my first draft A-List, but many of them are previously zedded– including, amazingly, The Sweet’s Blockbuster!But in any case that riff can be traced back much farther than Bowie.Incidentally, three recordings are usually cited as the major influences on The Jean Genie:
Jacques Dutronc - La Fille du Père Noël
The Shadows of Knight – Oh Yeah
The Yardbirds – I’m A Man
