David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancing in the Street - 12" Single [ Record ]

Forty years ago, Live Aid, the benefit concert organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise further funds for relief of the famine in Ethiopia, was announced with a press conference on the pitch at Wembley Stadium. The show was held simultaneously on Saturday, July 13, 1985, at Wembley and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia. One of the day's highlights was the surprise duet of the Motown classic, "Dancing in the Street," between David Bowie and Mick Jagger.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the track, a limited edition white vinyl 12" will be released on August 29, 2025, two days after its anniversary, bringing together all of the song's mixes for the first time.

Speaking about the song, Mick Jagger said: ''We had such a laugh doing 'Dancing in the Street' with both the song recorded in the studio and the video done in one day. Remarkable how we pulled it off really. The video is hilarious to watch now. We enjoyed camping it up and trying to impersonate each other's moves, making it up as we went along. It was the only time David and myself collaborated on anything, which is a real shame."
