A consummate musical chameleon, David
Bowie created a career in the Sixties and Seventies
that featured his many guises: folksinger, androgyne,
alien, decadent, blue-eyed soul man, modern rock
star-each one spawning a league of imitators. His
late-Seventies collaborations with Brian Eno made
Bowie one of the few older stars to be taken
seriously by the new wave. In the Eighties, Let's
Dance (#1, 1983), his entree into the mainstream,
was followed by attempts to keep up with current
trends.
