Biography
David Bowie born David Robert Jones, 8 January 1947 is an English musician,
actor, record producer and arranger. Active in five decades of popular music and
frequently reinventing his music and image, Bowie is widely regarded as an
innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. He has been cited as an
influence by many musicians and is known for his distinctive voice and the
intellectual depth of his work.
Although he released an album (David Bowie) and several singles earlier, David
Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in the autumn of 1969, when the
song "Space Oddity" reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart. After a
three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock
era as the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust, spearheaded by the
hit single "Starman" and the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the
Spiders from Mars. The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona epitomised a career
often marked by musical innovation, reinvention and striking visual
presentation.
Throughout his career he has sold an estimated 136 million albums, and ranks
among the ten best-selling acts in UK pop history. In 2004, Rolling Stone
magazine ranked him 39th on their list of the 100 Greatest Rock Artists of All
Time and the 23rd best singer of all time.
