VH1 Storytellers began in 1996 with intimate TV performances by Ray Davies and Elvis Costello. Over the next few years many singer/songwriters appeared on the show, performing in front of a live audience while telling stories of their music and memories.
Many of the most memorable episodes featured British rock acts, and David Bowie appeared on the show 23rd August 1999. Bill Flanagan, Executive Producer of the show explains, "We were used to dealing with legendary musicians.
Still, landing David Bowie was more than a big booking. There's no way to say this without being corny: it was an honor. Bowie has a unique place in rock & roll. He is not only one of the most influential musicians of the era, he does nothing unless he is fully committed. He never phones it in."
He continues, "Bowie's STORYTELLERS was a unique theatrical event, a sort of off-Broadway "Evening with the Artist" in which a great songwriter used bits and pieces from his life and career to show us all the roads leading up to a single moment,... a compelling introduction to David Bowie for the uninitiated and a fresh experience for the long time fan.
It was a highlight of the series and a good lesson to those of us behind the camera who sometimes think the artist needs our help. When dealing with an artist of the stature of David Bowie, we can help best by getting out of his way."
