DAVID BOWIE

David Robert Jones was born in Brixton, London, on 8 January 1947. David Bowie is an English musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, actor and arranger His mother, Margaret Mary Jones from Kent, worked as a waitress, while his father, Haywood Stenton Jones, from Yorkshire, was a promotions officer for Barnardo’s

Career of an excellent musical chameleon, David Bowie, began in the 60 -70 s. Bowie was one of the few stars to take seriously the new wave. In the 80's composition «Let's Dance» (№ 1, 1983) was his ticket to the world of popularity

My favorite Bowie’s songs are: • Ziggy Stardust • Let’s Dance • Heroes • The Man Who Sold The World • Ashes to Ashes • Space Oddity

Interesting facts about David Bowie

Bowie received a serious injury at school in 1962 when his friend punched him in the left eye during a fight over a girl. Doctors feared he would become blind in that eye. After a series of operations that lasted 4 months, pupil in his left eye is always dilated, so it makes illusion of different coloured eyes

Bowie is a multi-instrumentalist since childhood he learned to play the saxophone, and then guitar. He also plays: electric guitar, twelve- guitar, keyboards, piano, harpsichord, harmonica, synthesizer, mellotron, stilophone, xylophone, vibraphone, koto, drums and percussion

David Bowie is left-handed, but despite this, he plays guitar as a righty

At the age of 16 he works as a publicity agent and performs with various groups, and also produces unrecognized singles. At this time the U. S. group «The Monkees» , which was the name of the singer Davy Jones, becoming known, and to avoid confusion with the American, David decided to take on a new name Being a big fan of Mick Jagger, he learns that " Jagger" translated from Old English means "knife”, David took a similar name (Bowie Knife combat knife type, named after the hero of the Texas War)

David Bowie has won the title of the British Male Solo Artist and I reckon that he has deserved this award, because he is special and his style and voice are unique and perfect. He isn’t boring and his music takes my breath away!
