DAVID BOWIE BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
David Robert Jones came into the world on December 8, 1947, in the south London suburb of Brixton. He fell in love with the sound and energy of American R&B and rock 'n' roll at an early age, and was especially inspired by the flamboyant, makeup-wearing Little Richard. Young David took up the saxophone, and eventually learned to play guitar. A teenage fight over a girl resulted in a blow to the eye that left his left eye paralyzed. The eye remained permanently dilated, leaving him with two different colored eyes.
By age 16, he was fronting an R&B outfit known as Davie Jones and the King Bees. They released the single "Liza Jane" in 1964. The record flopped, and David joined the Manish Boys. Their 1965 single, "I Pity The Fool," also went nowhere, and David was soon fronting a mod band called Davie Jones and the Lower Third. In 1966, he changed his name to David Bowie, so as not be confused with another singer named Davy Jones, who would soon find worldwide fame as a member of The Monkees. |
