David Bowie, born on 8 January 1947 in Brixton, London, England, UK and died on 10 January 2016 in Manhattan, New York City, USA at the age of 69. He was a British pop/rock singer, musician, songwriter, and actor. Bowie is widely regarded as one of the most respected contemporary musicians of his time and is considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.Bowie's contributions to the music industry have made him a leading figure in popular culture. His innovative style and unique sound have left an indelible mark on generations of artists and fans alike. With his extensive discography spanning various genres and his iconic alter egos such as Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke, Bowie's artistic vision continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.

Bowie wasn’t the first to release a covers album, but Pin Ups was one of the earliest ones by a rock artist, and to this day, it’s still one of the best. Why? Well, even if it didn’t represent the last studio album by his classic backing band, The Spiders from Mars, it’s a must-have because Bowie didn’t just go for the easy score. No, he Ziggy’d the hell out of every track, enveloping each song in starman charisma and panic-in-Detroit urgency. And Bowie being Bowie, he didn’t pick the obvious hits either. Bowie wasn’t just tipping his space helmet to early influence, but breathing new life into songs from his musical peers, and, in some cases—hell, pretty much every case—besting them.
