[little while later] I’m in the Edison Recording Studio on 46th Street, where I was recording my album [Booth And The Bad Angel] that I co-wrote with Tim Booth of the group James. And I’m recording the orchestra there with Tim and the phone rings. The engineer says, “Angelo, there’s a phone call for you.”
“Who is it?”
“It’s David Bowie.”
David said, “Angelo, I just heard this track. It is fantastic. This is for me. I gotta do this song. Please let me do the vocal on this song.”
I said, “Well, David, I know your style. I’ll tell you, you’re probably the only guy that makes sense. I can see you doing kind of a dark sound. You got it!”
The next day, 7 ‘o clock in the morning, I’m home and the phone rings. And I hear this static… “Angelo, Angelo!”
“Yes, who is this?”
“This is Bono.”
“I’m in a car. I’m in Ireland. I heard this track. I am so busy, I’m on tour, I’m working on an album with my band, and I’ve got ten thousand things to do. The last thing I wanted to hear is a track like this. But would you let me be the singer on this track?”
I said, “Bono, man, it would be great… but last night [bad word] with Bowie.”
And Bono said: “Well… he sings good too.”
