I posted this somewhere, so just sharing:
"In addition to his absolutely wonderful singing voice, David/Jareth's normal speaking voice has a low sultry timbre that's always modulated and beautifully nuanced. He hardly raises his voice but could convey so much authority, menace or emotion in one smooth, articulate sentence. The moment he says, "Sarah" about 10 minutes into the film, I started having funny feelings. By the time he says, "Let's see how you deal with this little slice," I had to get a glass of water. I was only 11 at that time. "
I'm usually immune to celebrity farewells, but losing two artists I've admired for most of my life in a span of days makes it a bit hard to breathe
Anyway, here are some videos.

(added props that I think he's singing live to a baby and a roomful of muppets. Bowie also does the baby gurgles. And yeah, I dig a man who can dance and do baby gurgles.)

I liked David Bowie's music before I ever saw Labyrinth thanks to my mum. I never really thought he was sexy until I saw Labyrinth when I was about 15 and fell in love with The Goblin King who is indeed very sexy. I watched it recently for about the millionth time and he's still got it although felt very sad he's no longer with us
