In the early Bowie years was actually Mick Ronson the genius behind most of David's work. As people admitted later he was so much more than a guitarist. David then later mastered his craft and became more prolific in writing, arranging and producing. Nobody can take it away from him, but M R was a major force on his early years. R. I. P. both.

Bowie had a wider Vocal Range than George Michael and Freddie Mercury. But its a matter of taste which voice/tone you like/prefer more tho.

Just watched the doc "1971 the year that music changed everything" when Bowie wasn't Bowie yet and he played Glastonbury when it was just a Pyramid stage and a smaller field. He went up on stage at about 5:30 am and started singing the bones of what would become "Changes." Then, hanging out in New York with Lou Reed and Warhol he knew he was about to transform into the Ziggy. Then he did and it was brilliant. He said after that first show, "Oh my god, I think we just killed the 60s."
