even though this is a repeat show, i say, all hail tony visconti, without whom my favorite musical memories would not be as vivid.
Hey John,
Can you ask Tony - who is responsible for the cabaret sound David's "Alladin Sane" and "Bring me the Disco King" with Mike Garson.
Was it the two of them or did you have any imput?
Also love Tony's work with Shakespear's Sister.

The Fifth Beatle--and the most unsung--is George Martin. George Martin is the one who "really" created the Beatles' sound.
Need proof? Listen to John Lennon's and Paul McCartney's solo work. Their post-Beatles work without George Martin on the mixing board is mediocre at best.
Tony, thank you for all the great music, you were a major influence on my bass playing.
