Bowie's new album is "The Next Day" and will only add to the some 140 million albums he has already sold
(according to Wikipedia). Bowie has been hugely known for hits like "Fame" and his unusual, androgynous "Space Oddity" from his glam rock album Ziggy Stardust era in the 70s. He worked with the band Queen, and his cultural influence has struck musicians throughout today, such as his song "The Man Who Saved the World" which was performed by Nirvana during an unplugged performance on MTV.
Bowie continued to dominate into the 80s with "Let's Dance" and a stunning appearance as a villain in the movie "Labyrinth."
He worked with director David Lynch in the 90s and created a soundtrack of song and music for the movie "Lost Highway."He has appeared on Saturday Night Live.
Bowie has a distinctive voice that is hard to mistake for anyone else, and his cult figure remains strong today, even as he has experimented in electronica. He suffered a heart attack in 2004 which has slowed him down some, but Bowie is back at it.
If you enjoy Bowie, or are even just curious about him, you are in lucky because the Pima County Public Library is stacked with CDs, books and films (his music has appeared in many films, including "Sixteen Candles" and in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds.")
