David Matthews (1977) Space Oddity

 David Matthews, not the one you're thinking of, released a jazz fusion album called Dune; an album full of disco renditions of Sci-Fi soundtracks such as Silent Running and Star Wars themes before Meeco would do the same thing. It also featured interesting jazzy instrumentals that would be sampled decades later but it is the spellbinding cover of David Bowie's 1969 classic with its ethereal female soprano voices that is the real gem of this album. The album boats strong saxophone and guitar work to augment to space compositions was unfortunately not as successful as other disco albums of it's time.
