David Bowie is a British singer and actor, famous for his ever-changing public persona and mutable musical style. Bowie first rose to the public eye in 1969 with the single
Space Oddity, and then reappeared a couple years later as Ziggy Stardust with the songs
Starman,
Changes, and
Suffragette City. He soon discarded that persona and released funky material such as
Fame. By the time the 1980s rolled around he reinvented himself again with songs such as
China Doll,
Let's Dance, and
Modern Love. Bowie has performed in some notable duets, such as the brilliant
Under Pressure, recorded with Queen, the ill-advised
Dancing in the Streets, recorded with Mick Jagger, and the oddly compelling
Little Drummer Boy, recorded with Bing Crosby.
In addition to his prolific and lengthy musical career, Bowie has been in numerous movies, including notable roles in
The Hunger,
The Man Who Fell to Earth, and
Labyrinth as well as several other films.
Bowie has an official website named
David Bowie, and a
Facebook fan page.
