David Bowie openly planned on Let’s Dance being a targeted-at-the-mainstream effort, hiring Nile Rodgers as his producer to give him a perfect radio-ready gloss and punch in equal measure. Suffice to say he fulfilled Bowie’s brief several times over, with Let’s Dance being Bowie’s pinnacle of commercial success, an energetic, catchy-as-hell collection of songs that nodded to his artier sides on the album cuts like “Ricochet” but “Modern Love,” a rework of Iggy Pop’s “China Girl,” and especially the title track, owned the airwaves, MTV and the charts.
