LET'S DANCE, however, is arguably his most memorable '80s recording. It didn't hurt that he reached out to some talented friends, like Stevie Ray Vaughan (who makes his recorded debut here as lead guitarist) and co-writers Iggy Pop ( China Girl ) and Peter Godwin (of Images of Heaven fame, who helps out on Criminal World. ) Ultimately, though, it's Bowie's unique vision that makes LET'S DANCE a success. His funky, synth-driven avant-pop romps are shot through with a romance and poignancy that sets them apart from much of his later work. Modern Love, for example, manages to be irresistibly catchy and ostensibly upbeat while depicting alienation and unfulfilled desires.LET'S DANCE
