Early Bowie history
|
|
A very readable biography of Bowie up to 1983. Hopkins’ riveting study gets behind the many images that have concealed the elusive David Jones of Brixton, London. Drawing on interviews with family members, ex-lovers, friends and associates, he describes Bowie early struggle and eventual breakthrough, and his development as an artist: the albums, videos, films and tours. It is illustrated with rare black & white photographs and contains a discography, filmography and videography. The tone is informative throughout and much emphasis is placed on the music and Bowie’s development as artist. Well-written, interesting without being gossipy, this book is thoroughly enjoyable and comprehensive as an early history of the artist and singer.
