Is there anyone alive that doesn't have a memory triggered by a Bowie track?

I'd be surprised.

Jean Genie makes me dance
5 Years makes me reflect
Lazurus makes me cry

RIP. Although he had many hits, my favourite will always be Space Oddity (1969?).
Also did Mott The Hoople a massive favour when he wrote "All The Young Dudes" in 73.
2016 - seems like yesterday

He wrote it in 15 mins if I remember correctly.

I didn't realise he wrote a song for some french dude and he thought it was a bit rubbish but it was re-worked by Paul Anka and became My Way!!!

My first Bowie single I bought was John I'm Only Dancing, I was 14. It'll be the fifth anniversary tomorrow of his death in 2016, the year that so many other well known people and artists died. At the time I remember lots of posts and media articles about what a terrible year it was!

Pushing through the market square,
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
We had five years left to cry in…

First single I bought at Owens I think in Cleveleys. Great days then and it was either there or Cobweb (possibly Woolies but cant remember)
