Artist: David Bowie
The cliché about David Bowie says he's a musical chameleon, adapting himself according to fashion and trends. While such a criticism is too glib, there's no denying that Bowie demonstrated remarkable skill for perceiving musical trends at his peak in the '70s. After spending several years in the late '60s as a mod and as an all-around... [+] Read More
Artist: Lester Bowie
From the 1970s until his death in 1999, Lester Bowie was the preeminent trumpeter of the jazz avant-garde -- one of the few trumpet players of his generation to successfully and completely adopt the techniques of free jazz. Indeed, Bowie was the most successful in translating the expressive demands of the music -- so well-suited to the tonally... [+] Read More

Artist: Queen
Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible... [+] Read More

Artist: The Feathers
In late 1968, David Bowie briefly led a trio called Feathers, which also included his girlfriend Hermione Fatheringale on vocals and guitar, and guitarist John "Hutch" Hutchinson (who had played with Bowie in 1966 as part of the Buzz). More folk-rockish than other Bowie endeavors before or since, they were a multi-media group that, in addition... [+] Read More
Artist: Ralph Horton
Ralph Horton managed David Bowie for a year or so in the mid-1960s, not doing a great deal to either hinder or advance Bowie's career. Horton, a former road manager for the Moody Blues, became Bowie's manager in the mid-1960s, when Bowie, still known as David Jones, was fronting the Lower Third. Horton influenced Bowie to adopt a more pronounced... [+] Read More
Artist: John "Hutch" Hutchinson
Of the many musicians that David Bowie worked with briefly in the 1960s as he flitted in and out of a number of bands and struggled to build a solo career, John "Hutch" Hutchinson may have been the most important. Hutchinson met Bowie in early 1966, when Bowie formed the band that backed him until December 1966, the Buzz, in which Hutchinson was... [+] Read More
Artist: George Underwood
George Underwood was rhythm guitarist and harmonica player in the first band that David Bowie recorded with, Davie Jones and the King Bees. Underwood, a childhood friend of Bowie's, had been playing music with him since the late 1950s. Their friendship must have been strong, as it survived a fight over a girl when they were schoolboys that left... [+] Read More

Artist: The Buzz
For much of 1966, David Bowie was backed by a group called the Buzz, although they only recorded one single with him (on which they were not credited). Bowie formed the Buzz quickly in February 1966; his previous band, the Lower Third, had left after a dispute with management over pay. The band was assembled via an ad placed in Melody Maker by...
