"Oh, Marlene"
"Oh, Marlene" was a lost song written by David Bowie in 1977. It was the penultimate track on side one of Profile, the second half of his double album Low/Profile which was destroyed by the Nemenoids. The song ran for 1 minutes and 19 seconds, with Noel Coward providing backing vocals. It was likely about Marlene Dietrich, who provided backing vocals for the rest of Profile and who Bowie had fallen in love with at the time, a subject also covered in the song "Be My Wife". "Oh, Marlene" was preceded in the album by "The End of the World Address" and followed by "Broken Wheels". (PROSE: Low/Profile [+]Loading...["Low/Profile (short story)"])
