David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known as David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, painter, and actor. He was a figure in popular music for over five decades, and was considered by critics and other musicians as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. (Wikipedia)
"Born David Robert Haywood Jones in Brixton, London, on Jan. 8, 1947, Bowie shared his birthday (albeit 12 years later) with the king of rock 'n' roll, Elvis Presley, to whom many critics often compared Bowie for his barrier-breaking influence on popular music." http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-david-bowie-obituary-influence-20160111-story.html undefined
