never-before-seen storyboards, handwritten set lists and lyrics as well as some of Bowie's own sketches, musical scores and diary entries, revealing the evolution of his creative ideas. David Bowie was born David Robert Jones on 8th January 1947 in Brixton, London. He studied art, music and design in his youth and by 1964 he signed a record deal with the Vocalion label. His debut was the song "Liza Jane" (an original mint copy 7 inch is worth a fortune now). He was billed as Davy Jones with The King Bees. This record like many others under different guises failed to chart. Bowie finally gained the massive hit he had longed for in 1969 with the release of "Space Oddity" and he has hardly looked back ever since. Throughout the 1970s hits like "Starman", "The Jean Genie", "Rebel Rebel", "Fame", Golden Years" and "John I'm Only Dancing" enhanced his reputation along with albums like "Hunky Dory", "The Rise and Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars", "Diamond Dogs", "Low" and "Heroes". Bowie also appeared in movies like "The Man Who Fell To Earth". The 80s propelled him even higher with U.K. number ones like "Ashes To Ashes", "Under Pressure"(with Queen), "Let's Dance" and "Dancing In The Street"(with Mick Jagger). America accepted Bowie as he bombarded the U. S. charts with "Let's Dance", China Girl" and Modern Love". David Bowie continued to pursue a film career with appearances in "The Hunger", "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", "Labyrinth" and "Absolute Beginners". Throughout
