On Monday 8, David Bowie would celebrate 71 years if he were alive. To commemorate his day, the record label Parlophone Records released an unpublished demo of the musician. The "Let's Dance" version was recorded at Mountain Studios in Switzerland in 1982 with Nile Rodgers from Chic, producer David Richards and bassist Erdal Kızılçay. In releasing the track, Rodgers released a statement: “I woke up from my first night in Montreux with David spying on me. He had a guitar in his hand and said 'Nile, dear, I think this is a HIT!'” This recording is the first indication of what we would do together when I picked up folk music and made it into something the whole world would dance to and would not stop dancing for the next 35 years! It became a base not just for Let's Dance but for the whole album as well. The time we spent doing the mix before Christmas was full of tears because it seemed like David was in the room with us. Congratulations, David, I love you and we all love you."
