David bowie:Space Oddity 1969.

this album to my knowledge was one of the first i bought when i was a kid in the early seventies..i saved up my paper round money to buy it..i was amazed by the 'Space Oddity'single when i first heard it..i was taken back when i first seen an appearance of david on Top of the Pops..yes folks i was a avid watcher in them days.,i always thought the opening lines to the song where "Ground control to ginger tom"..then i thought,hang on how would a ginger tom cat be in space.?..remember i was only a kid...still learning about the wonders of music...anyway,,i couldnt comprehend that the image that i was seeing was the same person who sang this wonderful song..i had a image of a old crooner with a suit on been very presentable..how wrong i was..once i started to introduce myself to the album gradually i learnt from a early age that someone's appearance in music is the least important thing..it's the music that's the most important issue...my train of thought has been the same to this very day.

David bowie has the midas touch in what ever he touches..his still one of the godfathers in modern music in my opinion, and this album alone show his sheer craft of musical brilliance,If you haven't heard this album,give it a try..it set the standard of how music should be and still does to this day.
