"David Bowie has always been highly interested & influenced by Soul music".
And he is listed as one of the main artists/album that defines 'Philadelphia Soul' when considering the progression toward the history and musical influence 'Philly Soul' gives in the late 70s and 80s.
David Bowie, Is..of Philadelphia Soul, listed as a musical (artist) and major influence.
The only thing that is 'not originality', is that he is from the UK!
