An innovator. A disrupter. An influencer who was actually influential, not only in his era, but for generations of musicians who followed and those still to come. The impact that David Bowie had went far beyond just music - his influence could be felt in fashion and culture.
Bowie’s enigmatic personality shifted the cultural landscape long before the dime a dozen social media creations who lay claim to fame simply by alleging themselves to be famous. In short, Bowie was more than just a rock star.
Prolific music writer and curator Martin Popoff compiled the lavishly illustrated, Bowie at 75, which chronicles with words and pictures the span of Bowie’s career. Popoff delves deeply into Bowie’s ever changing personas.
Housed in a heavy duty slip cover, this epic collection explores the twists and turns from the Thin White Duke to Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders and the ultra-successful Let’s Dance album.
Along the way, Popoff checks off the list of players, producers and bands that came under Bowie’s influence. The parades includes legendary figures like: Iggy Pop, Mott the Hoople, Robert Fripp, Steveie Ray Vaughan, Nile Rodgers, Mick Ronson and Adrian Belew to name just a few.
Bowie’s collaborations also included hits with Mick Jagger & Tina Turner, Lou Reef, and Queen. Bowie ar 75, provides an amazing cornerstone addition for any Bowie collection.
