‘Heroes’ written by David Bowie and Brian Eno. Produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, was recorded in July and August 1977, and released on 23 September 1977. A product of Bowie s Berlin period, the track was not a huge hit in the UK or US at the time, but has gone on to become one of Bowie s signature songs. In January 2016, following David Bowie s death, the song reached a new peak of number 12 in the UK Singles Chart. ‘Heroes’ has been cited as Bowie s second-most covered song after ‘Rebel Rebel’. The title of the song is a reference to the 1975 track ‘Hero’ by German krautrock band Neu!, whom Bowie and Eno admired.
