Daily Bowie - My Death

In 1973, Bowie retired his Ziggy Stardust persona, and those final concerts were caught on film for the documentary "Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars."  The film spent several years in post-production, finally releasing in 1979, with the soundtrack following four years later.  In the final performance, Bowie covered the Jacques Brel penned "My Death," featuring some sparse arrangements (mainly just an acoustic guitar) with the focus primarily on his voice.  It's stunning.  Listen below.
