David Bowie
America placed the first human onto the lunar surface in 1969. Just
as Neil Armstrong stepped into history, “Space Oddity” was released and
launched David Bowie. Drugs and Stanley Kubrick’s film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’
inspired the creation of this classic track. The Bowie-penned composition was
produced by Gus Dudgeon who would go on to work in the same role the following
year on Elton John’s breakthrough smash “Your Song”. Bowie’s single reached #5
in Britain but was re-issued in 1975 and finally became his first UK chart
topper.
