David Bowie was a fan of George Orwell and wanted to do a concept album of Orwell's book 1984. Bowie started working on the material in 1973 but was unable to get permission from Orwell's estate. Not all was lost. In 1974, Bowie released Diamond Dogs a rock concept-album about a post-apocalyptic world.
I thought this video would be fun to post. This is David Bowie performing his song "1984" from Diamond Dogs.
