"%22Sound and Vision%22 is a song and single by David Bowie which appeared on the album Low in 1977.The song is notable for juxtaposing an uplifting guitar and synthesizer-led instrumental track with Bowie\u2019s withdrawn lyrics.In keeping with the minimalist approach of Low, co-producer Visconti and Bowie originally recorded the track as an instrumental, bar the backing vocal (performed by Visconti\u2019s wife, Mary Hopkin). Bowie then recorded his vocal after the rest of the band had left the studio, before trimming verses off the lyric, and leaving a relatively lengthy instrumental intro on the finished song. Selected as a first single from the album, %22Sound and Vision%22 was used by the BBC on trailers at the time. This provided considerable exposure, much needed as Bowie opted to do nothing to promote the single himself, and helped the song to No. 3.The first live performance of the song was at Earl\u2019s Court on 1 July 1978. In 1990, it was a regular number for Bowie\u2019s greatest hits Sound + Vision Tour. The name had also been used for Rykodisc boxed set anthology in 1989." . "fbe83db0-f6ad-472d-8d8b-8baf44a08682" .
