David Bowie

I first started listening to Bowie when I was around 8 years old and soon became a life long fan. He is versatile in style, work and voice range. He's truly a man of many talents and this lens is dedicate to him and all his fans. I will be posting links and videos of this music idol.

Born David Jones, he took up the saxophone at age 13, and when he left Bromley Technical High School (where a friend permanently paralyzed Jones' left pupil in a fight) to work as a commercial artist three years later, he had started playing in bands - the Konrads, the King Bees, David Jones and the Buzz. Three of Jones' early bands - the King Bees, the Manish Boys (featuring session guitarist Jimmy Page), and Davey Jones and the Lower Third - each recorded a single. In 1966, after changing his name to David Bowie to avoid confusion with the Monkees' Davy Jones, he recorded three singles for Pye Records, then signed in 1967 with Deram, issuing several singles and The World of David Bowie most of the songs from that period are on "Images".

Bowie started changing his image in late 1971.
Enter Ziggy Stardust, Bowie's projection of a doomed messianic rock star. Bowie became Ziggy and many other faces over the years, Ziggy was retired in 1973 and many looks, music projects, albums, art and movies have followed...

Here are some great sites on Bowie.....
