He was born David Jones in Brixton, London, England on this day in 1947. He’s a singer, a songwriter, a record producer, an arranger, an actor and a painter! Is there anything this guy can’t do? The great David Bowie is nearing 50 years in an amazing career that’s always cha-cha-cha changing with every project. His latest work, Blackstar comes out today and has received 4 out of 5 stars from David Fricke in Rolling Stone. It was produced by longtime collaborator Tony Visconti, who was just in Portland last night performing Bowie music at the Asylum.

Happy 69th Birthday to the Thin White Duke from the Big Blue Blimp!
