“This well done documentary is very interesting. It does a lot to investigate how David Bowie struggled in his early years to become an icon of our times. It includes archive clips as well as interviews with those who worked with him, and clips of the man himself. If you know the broader strokes of Bowieu0026#39;s music through the 70u0026#39;s and into 80u0026#39;s pop stardom, there isnu0026#39;t much you wonu0026#39;t have seen or heard but what fun to see this early footage of Bowie…. it gives you a real sense of the early life and creation that David Jones made which became the brand image and the many faces of u0026#39;David Bowieu0026#39;, and the innovations that made him unique. The man was a five- star icon.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause there is so much to cover in such a varied artistic career it would be near on impossible to do justice to it all in a couple of hours and even though there is no musical performance at all this doc is really worth a watch to see some of the older footage and the new interviews with his friends and collaborators.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe man was savvy business whiz, back in 2013, he shocked us all with the release of The Next Day, his first album in a decade.. It might be said that the release of his final album just days before his death was the greatest publicity stunt in music. The young Mr. Jones probably never thought it would be like this when he recorded u0026#39;Over The Wall We Gou0026#39; with Paul Nicholas, banned by the Britainu0026#39;s BBC nearly fifty years ago. We miss you David. Thanks for all you have done to uplift us and for being the soundtrack of our lives. There wonu0026#39;t be another. Farewell sir.”
