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
