Bowie

Bowie’s first album, The Man Who Sold The World, was recorded as an individual in itself and marked the first creative stretch for the listener. Mick Ronson’s guitars are often referred to as the birth point of heavy metal, and certainly the auspicious beginnings of glam rock can be traced here. The album was released by Mercury in April 1971 to minimal fanfare and Bowie took his first trip to the United States to promote it that spring. In May of the same year, Duncan Zowie Haywood Bowie was born to David and his then wife Angela. David Robert Jones was born in Brixton on January 8, 1947. At age thirteen, inspired by the jazz of the London West End, he picked up the saxophone and called up Ronnie Ross for lessons. By 1994, Bowie and Eno were   collaborating     in    the     studio. Bowie released a new single entitled 'Where Are We Now' and announced the release of a new album in March.
