Died January 10, 2016, 69.
It sure took me by surprise this morning to hear that David Bowie had died. He was one of the major music stars ever since the 1970s. I liked his music, though he wasn't one of my favorite performers.
WXRT in Chicago had just featured his music on Friday to celebrate his 69th birthday. Today they are featuring his music to celebrate his life.
He was born David Robert Jones but changed his last name to Bowie as the Monkees had Davy Jones.
From 1972 to 1987, he charted 25 times, including two #1s and four top tens.
His biggest hits:
1973 Space Oddity #15
1975 Young Americans #28
1975 Fame #1
1976 Golden Years #10
1981 Under Pressure #29 with Queen
1983 Let's Dance #1
1983 China Girl #10
1983 Modern Love #14
1984 Blue Jean #8
1985 This Is Not America #32
1985 Dancing in the Street #7 with Mick Jagger
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
