His next record,
Hunky Dory in 1971, saw the partial return of the fey pop singer of "Space Oddity", with light fare such as the droll "
Kooks". Elsewhere, the album explored more serious themes on tracks such as "

1976–79: The Berlin era
.^ Bowie's interest in the growing German music scene, as well as his drug addiction, prompted him to move to (West-) Berlin to dry out and rejuvenate his career.
^ It was a departure from Scary Monsters for which Bowie received a bit of inside criticism; rather than revolting against 1980s dance music, he had in fact joined the scene.
^ Bowie had planned on actually writing a musical to 1984 , but his interest waned after encountering difficulties in licensing the novel, and he used the songs he had written for Diamond Dogs .
.^ Sharing an apartment in Schöneberg with his friend Iggy Pop , he co-produced three more of his own classic albums with Tony Visconti, as well as aiding Pop in his career.
^ He's been everything from inoffensive pop singer to glam icon to white soul man to art-rocker and more in the course of his long, prolific career.- David Bowie MP3 Downloads - 7digital 19 January 2010 18:018 UTC www.7digital.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
^ Iggy Pop and his band The Stooges signed with Bowie's management, MainMan Productions , and recorded their ultimate album, Raw Power , in London.
.^ With Bowie as a co-writer and musician, Pop completed his first two solo albums, The Idiot and Lust for Life .
^ This tune is credit of two people of Iggy Pop and David Bowie.- DAVID BOWIE music, discography, MP3, videos and reviews 19 January 2010 18:018 UTC www.progarchives.com [Source type: General]
^ Bowie's final dance album was Never Let Me Down (1987), where he ditched the light dance of his two earlier albums, instead producing harder rock with a dance edge.
.^ More unusually, Bowie joined Pop's touring band in the spring, simply playing keyboard and singing backing vocals.
^ Iggy Pop and his band The Stooges signed with Bowie's management, MainMan Productions , and recorded their ultimate album, Raw Power , in London.
^ It contained his first #1 hit in the US, " Fame ," co-written with John Lennon (who also contributed backing vocals) and one of Bowie's new band members, guitarist Carlos Alomar .
The group performed in the UK, Europe, and the US from March to April 1977.
[42]
The brittle sound of
Station to Station proved a precursor to
Low, the first of three albums that became known as the "
Berlin Trilogy". Partly influenced by the
Krautrock sound of
Kraftwerk and
Neu! Bowie journeyed to
Neunkirchen near
Cologne to meet the famed German producer
Conny Plank.
.^ The album provided him with a surprise #3 hit in the UK when the BBC picked up the first single, " Sound and Vision ", as its 'coming attractions' theme music.
^ He paired with Queen for the 1981 UK chart-topper " Under Pressure ", but consolidated his commercial – and, until then, most profitable – sound in 1983 with the album Let's Dance , which yielded the hit singles " China Girl ", " Modern Love " and, most famously, the title track .
^ As with the single " Changes ", Hunky Dory was not a big hit but it laid the groundwork for the move that would shortly lift Bowie into the first rank of stars, giving him four top 10 albums and eight top ten singles in the UK in 18 months between 1972 and 1973.
The album was produced in 1976 and released in early 1977.
.^ Much of the band were present for the first five days only, after which Eno, Alomar and Gardiner remained to play overdubs.
^ David had first worked with the Sales brothers on Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot' world tour in 1977 when David played keyboards and backing vocals in the band.

.^ The next record, "Heroes" , was similar in sound to Low , though slightly more accessible.
^ There's nothing as great as 'Heroes' on the first side, but the pop songs on Low are much more consistent.
^ I actually listen to this album more often than I do probably any Bowie record other than Low or Station to Station , though for the life of me I can't explain from a critical standpoint why that is.
.^ The mood of these records fit the zeitgeist of the Cold War , symbolised by the divided city that provided its inspiration.
.^ The title track remains one of Bowie's best known, a classic story about two lovers who met at the Berlin Wall .
^ In the next year, Bowie and Page cooperated on the Bowie track I Pity the Fool, and Bowie received the guitar riff for the 1970 song The Supermen from Page.- David Bowie and the Occult - The Laughing Gnostic 19 January 2010 18:018 UTC www.cyberlink.ch [Source type: General]

| “ |
Interesting. [Long pause] I don’t think it was a mistake in Europe, but it was a lot tougher in America. I had no problem with people knowing I was bisexual. But I had no inclination to hold any banners or be a representative of any group of people. I knew what I wanted to be, which was a songwriter and a performer, and I felt that bisexuality became my headline over here for so long. America is a very puritanical place, and I think it stood in the way of so much I wanted to do.[87] |
