So the story goes, when David Bowie called on Nile Rodgers to produce his Let's Dance album in the early 80s, he wanted "guaranteed hits" or something like that, now, that tells you how much music has changed since then... in the early 80s, you could have radio-friendly hits & still have fantastic musicianship.
Both the title track & China Girl have gorgeous guitar work, while Modern Love has some sexy saxophone during the coda. Now, fast-forward a few decades later, & if you want to get played on the radio- FORGET the guitars & saxophones, & replace it with beats & autotune!
And now, people go to see DJs in concert(!)
