On 3 November 1973, 46 years ago today, DAVID BOWIE scored his second UK Number One album with PINUPS, a collection of covers of 12 of his most beloved songs at the time. Turn Up The Volume‘s favourite one is SORROW, a song originally composed by American musicians Feldman, Gottehrer and Goldstein who were in band called The Strangeloves and wrote it for their countrymen The McCoys (best know for their ‘Hang On Sloopy’ hit) in 1965.
