Spelling

edit

Could someone capitalize the "In" in "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)"? Should read: Sue (Or In a Season of Crime). I know it's a minor issue, but the lowercase "i" is bugging me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.25.53 (talk) 02:49, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think it should read "Sue (or In a Season of Crime)". --78.54.190.17 (talk) 09:01, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps it should even be written this way: "Sue" (or "In a Season of Crime"). --78.54.127.111 (talk) 08:33, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Composition credits

edit

There is no mention in the article of the composition credits. I have not seen credits for the single release version. The CD booklet for 'Blackstar' gives the credits as Words: David Bowie, Music: David Bowie, Maria Schneider and 'Paul Bateman & Bob Bharma (as Plastic Soul)'. The Publishing credits also say 'This composition contains elements from Brand New Heavy (Bateman/Bharma). Used by permission.' From other sources it appears likely that 'Bharma' is a misprint or spelling error, and the correct spelling should be 'Bhamra'. According to Discogs.com a group called Plastic Soul did release a record called 'Brand New Heavy' in 1997. I have not heard the original version of this. I recall that when the single of 'Sue' was released, some people claimed there was a borrowing from the song 'Cais' by Milton Nascimento and Ronaldo Bastos. It was reported here http://www.lemonde.fr/musiques/article/2014/10/17/milton-nascimento-flatte-par-la-chanson-sue-de-david-bowie_4508250_1654986.html that Maria Schneider denied that 'Sue' made any 'explicit reference' to 'Cais'. Comparing the two songs, I don't think there is more than a vague similarity in the opening melody lines. I leave it to some Bowie expert to decide whether to add anything to the article.109.150.6.191 (talk) 13:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
