Bio:
David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known as David Bowie (/ˈboʊ.i/),was an English singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, painter and actor. He was a figure in popular music for over five decades, and was considered by critics and other musicians as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s.Born and raised in south London, Bowie developed an interest in music while at Burnt Ash junior school and showed aptitude in singing and playing the recorder. When he left school he studied art, music and design, and became proficient on the saxophone, forming his first band that year at the age of 15. He embarked on a professional career as a musician in 1963, and received his first management contract shortly afterwards. "Space Oddity" became his first top five entry on the UK Singles Chart after its release in July 1969. After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The character was spearheaded by his single "Starman" and album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona proved to be one facet of a career marked by reinvention, musical innovation and visual presentation.In 1975, Bowie achieved his first major American crossover success with the number-one single "Fame" and the album Young Americans, which the singer characterised as "plastic soul". The sound constituted a radical shift in style that initially alienated many of his UK devotees. He then confounded the expectations of both his record label and his American audiences by recording the electronic-inflected album Low (1977), the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno later known as the "Berlin Trilogy". "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise. After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had UK number ones with the 1980 single "Ashes to Ashes", its parent album Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), and "Under Pressure", a 1981 collaboration with Queen. He then reached a new commercial peak in 1983 with Let's Dance, which yielded several successful singles. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle. He also had a successful but sporadic film career. His acting roles include the eponymous character in The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), Major Celliers in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), the Goblin King Jareth in Labyrinth (1986), Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), and Nikola Tesla in The Prestige (2006), among other film and television appearances and cameos.Bowie's impact was enormous; he changed the nature of rock music, and changed his own approach repeatedly. During his career, he sold an estimated 140 million records worldwide. In the UK, he was awarded nine platinum album certifications, eleven gold and eight silver, and in the US received five platinum and seven gold certifications. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Bowie stopped concert touring after 2004, and last performed live at a charity event in 2006. In 2013, he returned from a decade-long recording hiatus, remaining musically active until his death from liver cancer three years later.
Album:
Legacy collects together some of Bowie's finest singles from his first hit, 1969 s 'Space Oddity' through to the final singles 'Lazarus' and 'I Can t Give Everything Away'.All formats of David Bowie Legacy feature a previously unreleased version of the classic 1971 single 'Life On Mars?' mixed by its original producer Ken Scott.A new David Bowie compilation, Bowie Legacy, will be released in November which includes all the familiar hits, one unreleased track and brings things up-to-date by including two singles from Blackstar.Available on CD, 2CD deluxe and 2LP editions all versions of Bowie Legacy will include a previously unreleased version of one of David’s best loved songs Life On Mars, newly mixed by it’s original producer Ken Scott.Bowie Legacy uses lots of single mixes, of interest to collectors will be the radio edits of both Lazarus and I Can’t Give Everything Away (the latter is 2CD only) neither of which have been commercially released on the CD format.Bowie Legacy is released on both CD editions on 11 November, with the double vinyl edition coming later on 7 January 2017.We are rapidly approaching the first anniversary (in early January 2017) of David Bowie's unexpected and hence shocking passing away. Just in time for the Christmas shopping season (of course!), we get the latest 'best of'' compilation. This comes only 2 years after the previous 'best of' compilation called "Nothing Has Changed". Please note that "Legacy" is available both as a single CD and a double CD compilation, while "Nothing Has Changed" came as either a 2CD or a 3 CD compilation. So let's compare the 2CD versions of each."Legacy" (2CDs, 40 tracks; 156 min.) thankfully plays chronologically, starting with "Space Oddity". Get this: Legacy's CD1 contains the exact same 21 songs that are on CD1 of "Nothing Has Changed", in the very same playing order (which of course makes sense as both compilations are sequenced chronologically). When looking at CD2, more of the same: the first 13 tracks are identical. The only changes are that "Love Is Lost" and "Sue (Or In a Season of Crime)" have been deleted from "Nothing Has Changed" and instead "Slow Burn" (from "Heathen") and "Lazarus" and "I Can't Give Everything Away" (both from "blackstar") have been added (and hence I rate New Relevance as 1 star instead of zero). So... if you are one of the five or six people on the planet who is still looking to buy a Bowie compilation, then you could do worse than this one. But let's be clear: it's a virtual replica of "Nothing Has Changed".
