Happy Birthday David Bowie

Yesterday, David Bowie turned 63. He has been one of my cultural icons since I shared rooms with a woman named Shay Steele in 1976-77, in Bordeaux, France. Shay was a self-proclaimed glitter rocker, who adored Queen, Bowie, and the whole crew; she introduced me to music I hadn't known up until then. I wonder where she is now?


I've always loved his cover of this Johnny Mathis song, also performed by Nina Simone.
"Scary Monsters" is another fave:
