Bowie developed an interest in music from an early age. He studied art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963. "Space Oddity", released in 1969, was his first top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart. After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The character was spearheaded by the success of Bowie's single "Starman" and album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which won him widespread popularity. In 1975, Bowie's style shifted towards a sound he characterised as "plastic soul", initially alienating many of his UK fans but garnering him his first major US crossover success with the number-one single "Fame" and the album Young Americans. In 1976, Bowie starred in the cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and released Station to Station. In 1977, he again changed direction with the electronic-inflected album Low, the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that came to be known as the "Berlin Trilogy". "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise.
After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had three number-one hits: the 1980 single "Ashes to Ashes", its album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), and "Under Pressure" (a 1981 collaboration with Queen). He achieved massive commercial success in the 1980s starting with Let's Dance (1983). Between 1988 and 1992, he fronted the hard rock band Tin Machine before resuming his solo career in 1993. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle. He also continued acting; his roles included Major Jack Celliers in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth (1986), Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), and Nikola Tesla in The Prestige (2006), among other film and television appearances and cameos. He stopped touring after 2004 and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006. In 2013, Bowie returned from a decade-long recording hiatus with The Next Day. He remained musically active until his death from liver cancer at his home in New York City. He died two days after both his 69th birthday and the release of his final album, Blackstar (2016).
During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide, made him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. In the UK, he was awarded ten platinum, eleven gold and eight silver album certifications, and released 11 number-one albums. In the US, he received five platinum and nine gold certifications. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Rolling Stone ranked him among the greatest artists in history. As of 2022, Bowie was the best-selling vinyl artist of the 21st century.

Yes, she does, yes, she does
[Baby loves that way]
Oh, I love my baby
[Baby loves that way]
Ooh, I gotta take her
[Baby loves that way]
Yep, I love her
Baby likes to go outside, so I let her
Wants to fool with other guys, so I let her
Wants to be bad, so I let her be bad
But fooling around, it will make me sad
She fools around with other boys and treat me like an unwanted toy

Gotta take her, gotta take her
Gonna better leave her alone, put you down son
Treating her real fine, thus I'm home being a loner
Jeanny's my babe and that's alright, yeah
She treats me good, each and every night
She fools around with other boys and treat me like an unwanted toy

In David Bowie's song "Baby Loves That Way", the singer talks about a relationship with a woman who loves in her own unique and perhaps destructive way. Despite the fact that she often goes outside, fools around with other guys, and acts badly, the singer still loves her deeply.

The lyrics of "Baby Loves That Way" could be interpreted in a number of different ways. Some might see the song as a commentary on toxic relationships, where one partner continually mistreats the other.

@crenee2007
We have more technology in a cell phone than they had in all of NASA back in 1969.
So exactly how did they fly to the moon?
And how did they live through the Van Ellen radiation belts that surround the earth?
Black & white fuzzy images on
📺 Tell Lie Vision 📺 and the world bought it all.
Just like the 9/11 lie. People hate the truth but love all the lies.😪
It won’t all be hidden much longer.
@slender169101
To me this is the storyline
1) Space Oddity
2) Starman
3) Ashes to Ashes
4) Hello Spaceboy
5) Blackstar
here is the full story (a theory which we will never know the truth since starman has left)
Space Oddity:
Major Tom was an Astronaut who was sent on a basic mission to orbit the earth, something happened to his ship in which he had to perform a spacewalk to fix, during this he made a major error either intentionally or unintentionally he freaks out and tells ground control in which they try to help him he can't so he becomes sad and goes through the stages of grief which starts with anger, he was angry at what happened so he said "This is major Tom to ground control i really made the grade" meaning I really messed up and he went straight to the depression stage where he says "Tell my wife i love her very much" ground control tries to tell him to calm down to where he went to acceptance "Here i am floating on my tin can far above the moon Planet Earth is blue And there nothing I can do" which states his space capsule went out of earth orbit and the began to drift off into space.
2 Starman:
Major tom crash-landed on a planet possibly Mars, where he tried to radio back but was never able to but he got music from a radio station that he relaxed and listened to thinking of his plan to get back to earth or get off the planet. He possibly saw gods or aliens in space who he called a starman they began to talk to him helping him cope with what was going on, He is told to look out the window to see the earth and how close he could be and get back.
3 Ashes to Ashes:
Major tom fixes his radio and radios ground control and this is a rumor floating in the command center, "I heard a rumor from ground control" possibly talking about a young worker who was a kid when Tom left earth. He fixed his radio only long enough to say one sentence "Im Happy Hope you're happy to" possibly stating that he is finally accented he will die in space, and ground control are sad hearing his voice knowing he is "Strung out in heavens high and reaching an all-time low" Meaning he is happy but he is hitting a low because his health is deteriorating from being out in space for a long time years even.
Hello Space boy:
Major tom left they planet but in doing so he possibly died due to sickness. He is floating away covered in moon dust possibly heading to another planet which leads to the end lf his story BlackStar
Blackstar:
Major toms body landed on a planet that has a small dwarf star as its sun this planet is tidally locked and is always in an eclipse at night. A race of alien beings find his body and take his skull and is worshiped as a god. His skull is covered in jewels for becoming a famous astronaut and now he is being worshipped as David Bowie is as he is the one and the only starman He is major tom. Starting off so small as a regular music writer to his major fame and to his death where he is always going to be remembered as a musical god
@KatyushaWarThunder
David Bowie didn’t die, he is just floating in the most peculiar way.

I was playing this song in my car and my 10 year old grandson asked me who sang this song and what was it about. Now every time he's in my car he says, "grandma, put major Tom on". It's his favorite song. This song is a classic, it never gets old.
