BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG
These songs are well known but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.
China Girl
David Bowie included the track "China Girl" on his 1983 mega-selling album 'Let's Dance'. Nile Rodgers produced the track which was lifted as a single that year. It reached the British & American Top 10. 
The song had been written by Bowie and Iggy Pop for the latter's 1977 album 'The Idiot'. Bowie produced the original version.
