Changesbowie - Bowie, David (CD 1990)

It was late 1991 and I knew exactly a handful of things about David Bowie: 1)I knew he sang Let s Dance [#1] 2) I knew he sang Modern Love [#14] 3) I knew he sang China Girl [#51] 4) I knew he sang Blue Jean [#8] 5) I knew Stephen King s failed mini-series Golden Years [#10] was named after another Bowie song I d heard only in bits when the show aired.

I remember, standing in Camelot music on that day in January 1997. I was going through the CDs and I came to the David Bowie ones.

Since the dawn of Rock N Roll, there have been numerous icons like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, James Brown, Bob Dylan, and more. Another rock icon that came into the scene in 1967 was a young South London man who would not only reinvent himself musically but also with his own image from time to time. That man is David Bowie. Born David Robert Jones in January 8, 1947, Bowie has been known for making new styles of music and genres throughout the 1970s and helped pave the way for such artists like Boy George, Psychedelic Furs, London Suede, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, and pop icon.
