Robin Clark might be best known for her time with Simple Minds during the height of their popularity in the mid-80s. She joined them for the Once Upon a Time album, singing on gigantic hits like "Alive and Kicking", "Sanctify Yourself" and "All the Things She Said" and touring the world for a couple years. What you may not have known is that she's been married to David Bowie's rhythm guitarist Carlos Alomar for 45 years and not only did she sing on some of Bowie's most iconic songs ("Young Americans", "Blue Jean"), but was close friends with David since the early 70s. In this conversation, she was gracious enough to allow me to ask her some questions about David and her experience with him. She sheds a unique light on David the man, versus David Bowie The Rock God. Of course we also get deep into Simple Minds, and her longtime friendships with Luther Vandross and Nile Rodgers. She's an amazing lady and this chat is unlike anything you've ever heard.

This is a great interview! Robin Clark is one of the greatest, coolest people in the world! I first saw her in the video Alive and Kicking. She left such an impression on me, I was 16 in 1985 and every time I hear or see her those feelings come right back and I love it! Thank you so, so much for all you've done for music! Your life and stories are incredible and I'm so happy for your successes and wish you health and happiness forever!!! Michael
