Frank Simms, along with his brother George Simms, provided backing vocals on Bowie's 1983 album Let's Dance, which was recorded at the Power Station in New York under the guidance of Nile Rodgers. Simms also appeared on Black Tie White Noise. The two videos below were taken from a long form interview with Simms about his extraordinary life and long involvement in the music industry.

Frank Simms appears in Coley's documentary Let's Dance at 30, which explored the making of the album and Bowie’s Waiata, about his official welcome onto a Māori marae in New Zealand, 1983.
