Tonight’s featured artist had rather a rocky beginning, and not rock and roll either, for ten years he went from music to modeling to laughing gnomes to being a mime and then acting before he finally caught his musical groove and made a name for himself.  Any idea whom he might be??

Davey Jones had tried to front his own bands and dabbled in some strange ideas like the gnome thing. He even changed his last name to Bowie before studying mime and dance.  But it was Ziggy Stardust that propelled him into the limelight and changed the face of Rock all over the globe.

My featured song tonight is Ziggy Stardust

And here is the BBC documentary of how it all came to pass.
