David Bowie is a British rock singer and songwriter, as well as a producer, sound engineer, artist and actor. For fifty years he has been engaged in musical creativity and often changed his image, which is why he is called the "chameleon of rock music". At the same time, Bowie managed to maintain his own recognizable style, successfully combining it with current musical trends. Bowie is considered an innovator, in particular, thanks to his works of the 1970s. He influenced many musicians, was known for his distinctive voice and the intellectual depth of the works he created. Having released the album "David Bowie" and several singles in the early years of his activity, David Bowie nevertheless became known to the general public only in the fall of 1969, when his song "Space Oddity" reached the top five in the British hit parade. After three years of experimentation, he reappeared in public in 1972 during the heyday of glam rock, creating a vivid androgynous image of a character named Ziggy Stardust. His hit single "Starman" from the famous album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" entered the top ten of the UK charts. During the relatively short-lived use of the Ziggy Stardust image, Bowie often used musical innovations and unusual visual productions. In 1975, Bowie achieved his first major success in America with the number one single "Fame", co-written with John Lennon and Carlos Alomar, and the hit album Young Americans, whose style the singer described as "plastic soul". The album's sound represents a radical shift in Bowie's musical style, which initially alienated many of the singer's British fans. Then he met the expectations of his label and American fans by releasing the minimalist album Low (1977) - the first of three discs of the so-called "Berlin Bowie Trilogy", recorded together with Brian Eno over the next two years. All three albums entered the top five of the UK charts and for a long time received extremely positive reviews from critics.
After an erratic commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie re-emerged at number one in the UK charts in 1980 with the single "Ashes to Ashes" and the album "cary Monsters (and Super Creeps)". In 1981, he and the band Queen recorded "Under Pressure" - another single that reached the top of the UK chart. A new peak of Bowie's commercial success came in 1983, in which the album "Let's Dance" was released, which included such hits as "Let's Dance", "China Girl" and "Modern Love". Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical genres, including playing in the styles of white soul, industrial, AOR and jungle. His latest studio album was Blackstar, released on January 8, 2016.
