An unreleased song from 1970 by David Bowie titled "To Be Love" is now available for download.
The song has been unearthed by the Mind Body Network and song's writer Ron De Strulle.
"He was looking to create a couple of signature styles to promote to the record companies," De Strulle said. "David brought ideas and lyrics and we cut some rough tracks. If I played a few bars on the keyboard, he could see the whole picture and he could integrate it into his own work."
He added, "David could pick up an instrument and play anything. He would say 'I never played this instrument before,' and then he would cut loose and play. Pure genius."
De Strulle met Bowie in Los Angeles in 1970 when the Thin White Duke's manager was attempting to land him a U.S. record deal. "To Be Love" is just one of the many demoes they created together.
