Lady Grinning Soul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Lady Grinning Soul" is a song written by English singer-songwriter David Bowie for the album Aladdin Sane (Track 10) in 1973. The song is 3:53 minutes long.
It has been noted by various Bowie biographers that the inspiration for this song came after David's first meeting with American soul singer Claudia Lennear during his 1972 USA tour.
There are various reports[citation needed] that Lady Grinning Soul would be a theme to a James Bond film, yet these are probably rumors arising from the style of the song.
