David Bowie

Mid-'70s were not an easy era for the former Stooges frontman, then an old friend arrived.

This was his most commercially successful album at that point, reaching No. 1 in the U.K. and No. 17 in the U.S.

"It's as fresh as it was then," his trusted pianist Mike Garson says.

He recorded the No. 2 U.K. hit in an hour, but there was a memorable mistake along the way.

He saw something at night while on tour in America that prompted him to pull out his notebook.

Mott the Hoople leader says he was far less ambitious than "All the Young Dudes" writer.

Bowie was reportedly planning to recreate Frank Sinatra's retirement and comeback.

Longtime Bowie companion talks about his new memoir, 'David Bowie: Rock ‘n’ Roll With Me.'

His biggest hit found a home on his first platinum album.

Surprise LP tended to recall Berlin Trilogy, but there were also elements from elsewhere in the past.
