Conception and inspiration

The album presents the story, albeit vaguely, of "Ziggy Stardust," a Martian who comes to Earth to liberate humanity from banality. As an adjective the term "martian" is used to describe anything pertaining to the Planet Mars. Ziggy Stardust is the definitive rock star: sexually promiscuous, wild in drug intake and with a message, ultimately, of peace and love; but he is destroyed both by his own excesses of drugs and sex, and by the fans he inspired. The real-life inspiration for Ziggy was chiefly Vince Taylor. Vince Taylor (born Brian Maurice Holden on July 14 1939 in Isleworth, Middlesex, England; died August 28 [3]

Bowie claimed that the name came from a tailor's shop in London called Ziggy's. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. [4] Bowie later told Rolling Stone it was "one of the few Christian names I could find beginning with the letter 'Z'. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published " "Stardust" comes from one of Bowie's labelmates, a country singer named Norman Carl Odam, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, born Norman Carl Odam on October 10, 1947 (though his website claims September 5 in Lubbock, Texas [5] Bowie covered a Legendary Stardust Cowboy song, "I Took a Trip (On a Gemini Spaceship)" thirty years later on Heathen. Heathen is an album by the British singer-songwriter David Bowie, released in 2002

Production

The Ziggy Stardust sessions began just a few weeks after Hunky Dory was released. The first song of the album, the cover "It Ain't Easy," was recorded in September 1971. The first session in November produced "Hang on to Yourself," "Ziggy Stardust," "Rock 'n' Roll Star" (later shortened to "Star"), "Moonage Daydream," "Soul Love," "Lady Stardust," and "Five Years. "

Also recorded during the November Ziggy Sessions were two more cover songs intended for the as-yet untitled album. They were Chuck Berry's "Around and Around" (re-titled "Round and Round") and Jacques Brel's "Amsterdam" (re-titled "Port of Amsterdam"). Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18 1926 in St " Around and Around " is a rock song written by Chuck Berry. Jacques Romain Georges Brel (ʒak bʀɛl in French (8 April 1929 &ndash 9 October 1978 was a Belgian Singer-songwriter. " Amsterdam " is a song by Jacques Brel. It combines a powerful melancholic Crescendo with a rich poetic account of the exploits of sailors on Shore A re-recording of "Holy Holy" (first recorded in 1970 and released as a single, to poor sales, in January 1971) was initially slated for Ziggy, but was dropped in favor of "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide. " Holy Holy " is a song by David Bowie, originally released as a single in 1971 " "Round and Round" was replaced by "Starman" and "It Ain't Easy" replaced "Amsterdam" on the album's final running order. All three were eventually released as b-sides. A-side and B-side originally referred to the two sides of 7 inch Vinyl records on which singles were released beginning in the 1950s

"Velvet Goldmine," first recorded during the Hunky Dory sessions, was also intended for Ziggy, but was replaced by "Sufragette City. " Velvet Goldmine " is a song written by David Bowie and recorded during the Hunky Dory sessions in 1971 " RCA released it in 1975 as the b-side to the UK re-release of "Space Oddity" after having it remixed and mastered without Bowie's approval. RCA Corporation, founded as Radio Corporation of America, was an electronics company in existence from 1919 to 1986 This article is about the song For the album which includes this song see Space Oddity (album.

After performing some of the new songs on John Peel's Sounds of the 70s show on the BBC with the newly-dubbed Spiders from Mars in January 1972, the band returned to Trident and recorded "Starman," "Suffragette City," and "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" by the end of the month. John Robert Parker Ravenscroft, OBE (30 August 1939 – 25 October 2004 known professionally as John Peel, was an English Disc jockey, radio

"Starman," released as a single in April (and not intended for the final album at first), has never appeared in its original "loud" mix on CD. It differs somewhat in that it "features a subdued 'morse code' section between the verse and the chorus" [6] compared to the original released in 1972. "Starman"'s b-side, "Suffragette City," was mastered for the album with a three-note coda leading in from "Ziggy Stardust" to make the songs sound linked. They were never played as such by Bowie in concert.

Recorded and released during the ensuing Ziggy tour were two other songs. The first, "John, I'm Only Dancing," was recorded at Trident in late June and released (in the UK only) in September. " John I’m Only Dancing " is a single by David Bowie, released in September 1972 "The Jean Genie," recorded at RCA Studios in New York in early October at the start of the American tour, was released in the U. " The Jean Genie " is a single by David Bowie, released in November 1972 S. in November. The song was remixed for Aladdin Sane. Aladdin Sane is an album by David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1973 (see 1973 in music)

Styles and themes

Many of Bowie's songs are homages to his favorite musicians, frequently with chords and styles taken and reinterpreted in a glam rock fashion. Glam rock (also known as glitter rock) is a sub-genre of Rock music that developed in the UK in the post- Hippie early 1970s which was "performed by "Star" begins similarly to The Who's "Pinball Wizard" (off Tommy), while surf rock (such as The Beach Boys) influenced "Suffragette City. The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964. The primary lineup consisted of guitarist Pete Townshend Surf rock is a style of music that originated in the USA that mixes elements of Surf music and Rock music, and partially due to the number of Mexican The Beach Boys is an American rock band Formed in 1961 the group gained popularity for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a California Youth culture " Most of the other songs are pure glam rock, influenced by T. Rex, Ray Davies, The Stooges and The Velvet Underground, among others. TRex (occasionally spelled T Rex or T-Rex) were an English rock band fronted by guitarist singer and songwriter Marc Bolan. Ray Davies CBE (born Raymond Douglas Davies, 21 June 1944, Fortis Green, London) is an English rock The Stooges are an American rock band that was active from 1967 to 1974 then reformed in 2003 This article is about the band For their self-titled album see The Velvet Underground (album; for the book see The Velvet Underground (book

Many of the songs on this album show Bowie's habit of inserting powerful exhalations, usually nothing more than a "ha" or "ah" shouted with great intensity. One more complex (and memorable) example is on "Suffragette City" where the most memorable line, the frantically shouted "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" was an improvised replacement for "one more time," and was a homage to the song of a similar title ("Wham Bam Thank You Mam") by Small Faces. Small Faces were an English rock group from East London, heavily influenced by American Rhythm and blues. In addition, simple two-syllable phrases provide the spine for "Suffragette City" ("hey man"), "Hang on to Yourself" ("come on"), "Lady Stardust" ("all right"), and "Five Years" ("five years"). [7]

Of particular note is "Five Years," the album's opener, where the title is hoarsely shouted repeatedly, each time more and more powerful as though Bowie were having a breakdown in the studio. "Star" is a memorably pure rock and roll song, describing the beauty of being a rock star; it is Ziggy's dream, ending with the prophetic "just watch me now," taken from the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane. Rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll) is a form of Music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s with roots in mostly African Structure and history of the song The version of "Sweet Jane" on 1969 The Velvet Underground Live is an early version with a simpler chord progression (three-chord " "Starman," the album's single, has been described as a cross between mod and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" [8] with an exhilarating chorus of Ziggy sending a message to Earthlings via the radio, warning them that he will come to liberate their minds if they are ready for it. Mod (originally modernist, sometimes capitalised is a Subculture that originated in London in the late 1950s and peaked in the early to mid 1960s " Over the Rainbow " (sometimes mistakenly known as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a Song with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E "Soul Love" is notable for Bowie's pioneering and original use of a jazzy saxophone.
