dbpprop:abstract
  • "Tonight" is the title track from the album Tonight by David Bowie. It was originally co-written with Iggy Pop for the latter’s 1977 album Lust for Life. Bowie re-recorded the song, with guest vocalist Tina Turner, in 1984 for his new album and released it as a single, the song was a duet but the single was in fact only credited to Bowie. The album also featured two new co-compositions with Pop (including "Tonight"’s B-side, "Tumble and Twirl") – causing some cynics to remark that the whole album was largely motivated by Bowie trying to earn some money for his friend. The original spoken word introduction of the 1977 version, establishing that the lyric is addressed to a lover dying of a heroin overdose, was excised for Bowie’s version, substantially changing the message of the song. Bowie claimed at the time that he didn’t want to inflict this reading on Turner, though it’s also likely that this was to soften the song and make it more commercial.
