Let's Dance is an album by David Bowie, released in 1983. It is a dance album with co-production by Chic's Nile Rodgers. It was a departure from Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) for which Bowie received a bit of inside criticism; rather than joining the musical revolt against 1980s dance music, he had definitely joined the scene. Its title track has become a standard, and the album also featured the singles "Modern Love" and "China Girl", the latter causing something of a stir due to its suggestive promotional video. Oddly enough, "China Girl" was actually a new version of a song which Bowie had co-written with Iggy Pop for The Idiot. Let's Dance is also notable as a stepping stone for the career of the late Texan blues guitar virtuoso Stevie Ray Vaughan, who played on the album. Lets Dance may refer to: Lets Dance, a 1934-35 NBC radio program Lets Dance (film), a 1950 motion picture starring Betty Hutton and Fred Astaire. ...
