A Moonage Daydream - Bowie Cycle

This is the first of my Bowie Cycle of mixes. All things David Bowie. The songs on this series of mixes are all Bowie related. They are songs he wrote, or produced, or sang vocals on, or covers of artists he admired. There are also songs written about Bowie by other admiring artists.

Bowie sings a duet with Kristeen Young on Savior. She also contributed vocals and piano to his Heathen album.

Bowie produced a couple of early Dana Gillespie albums including Weren't Born A Man in 1973. The song here also included Mick Ronson and Rick Wakeman.

Ava Cherry was a back up singer for Bowie and he contributed several songs for her debut album. Bowie provided backing vocals on TV On The Radio's Province.
