Welcome to Jill Taylor MUSIC
Obsessing on David Bowie10/28/2015 Just revisiting some of Bowie's music and seriously tripping down memory lane. Bowie is still wildly popular judging from the comments I've received from Facebook friends and Twitter followers and I'm considering doing a mashup (in my day we called it a medley) of his songs. From my research ( I looked on iTunes) and my own informal poll (I asked people on Facebook), I have found that the most favorite songs are " Heroes, Changes, and Fame. All one word titles. Nice. (My personal favorite happens to be Lady Stardust from the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust in case you're wondering.) Another little tidbit I found interesting was that Bowie released three albums and six singles all to very little acclaim. There just might be hope for the rest of us after all. He started to get noticed when the release of his song, Space Oddity coincided with the Apollo 11 launch. He really didn't become the David Bowie we know until he changed his persona to Ziggy Stardust. An amazing songwriter and performer, but shrewd in the theatrical is what it took to catapult him to Fame.
Peace, JT
