大卫·罗伯特·琼斯（David Bowie，艺名大卫·鲍伊，1947年1月8日－2016年01月10日）是英国摇滚音乐家、词曲创作人、唱片制作人和演员。四十多年来，鲍伊一直是流行音乐界的重要人物，他的作品，尤其是在70年代的音乐探索，对整个乐坛起着开创性的作用。同时，他还以自己独特的声线以及作品的深度和折衷主义精神而闻名。

1969年7月，鲍伊的歌曲“Space Oddity”打入英国单曲排行榜前五名，他也由此进入了大众的视野。经过为期三年的实验探索后，他在1972年以外观华丽和雌雄同体的Ziggy Stardust形象出现，并以流行单曲“Starman”和专辑《The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars》为先锋，宣告了华丽摇滚时代的到来。鲍伊当时的形象，在传记作家大卫·伯克利看来，“挑战了当时摇滚乐的核心价值观”，并“创造了或许是流行文化中最为突出的偶像崇拜”。事实证明，Ziggy Stardust只是鲍伊在自己音乐生涯中不断在音乐和形象上的创新的一个开始。

1975年，鲍伊凭借头榜单曲“Fame”和专辑《Young Americans》在美国首获成功。这张专辑在音乐风格上变化显著，在最初疏远了许多他在英国的歌迷。接着鲍伊再次勇敢创新，于1977年发行了简约主义专辑《Low》。这是他与制作人布莱恩·伊诺两年三张专辑合作的开始——三张“柏林三部曲”专辑都打入了英国专辑排行榜的前五名，并且取得了持久的赞誉。

在商业成功时起时落的70年代过后，鲍伊在1980年的单曲“Ashes to Ashes”取得英国单曲排行榜头榜位置，他的专辑《Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)》亦取得专辑榜头名。1981年他与皇后乐队合作的单曲“Under Pressure”再次夺下单曲头名。1983年鲍伊在商业上达到一个新的顶峰，专辑《Let's Dance》中产生了多首流行单曲。90年代至21世纪初，他继续在音乐风格上进行实验性的探索，其中包括蓝眼灵魂乐、工业音乐等。自从2003-04年的Reality Tour之后他就再也没有进行过巡回演出，而在2006年之后便再也没有进行过现场演出。2013年3月，他发行了最新的专辑《The Next Day》。

大卫·伯克利在提到鲍伊时说，“他对流行文化的影响是相当独特的——他的形象创造和变革比任何人都多。” 在BBC于2002年举办的最伟大的100名英国人评选中，鲍伊排名第29位。在他的音乐生涯中，他总共约售出1亿4000万张专辑。在英国他获得9次白金唱片、11次金唱片和8次银唱片销量认证；在美国则有5次白金唱片和7次金唱片销量认证。2004年，《滚石》杂志在百大艺人评选中将他排列在第39位，在最伟大的歌手评选中将他排在第23位。

以带领时尚的先知先觉而被称为变色龙的鲍伊，同时是十分坚持于自己的理想及创意的。首次受到瞩目是1969年的乡村摇滚单曲《奇怪的空间》，不过最广人知的还是华丽摇滚时期的Hunky Dory（1971年），The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars（1972年），以及Aladdin Sane（1973年）。其后拓展其音乐版图至电子乐，灵魂乐以及新浪潮，往往都是在这些类型尚未受人注意时，鲍伊就先洞察到其中特质。

鲍伊对70年代至今的摇滚乐有着显著的影响。在所票选的一百大摇滚乐手中，排名第七。在BBC的一百大英国人当中，鲍伊排名第二十九。他的音乐作品中销售量为一亿三千六百万，并进入了摇滚名人堂。

除了在音乐上的卓越表现，鲍伊也是个称职的好演员。曾经参与演出《天降财神》(The Man Who Fell to Earth，1976年）、《俘虏》（Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence）、《千年血后》(The Hunger，1983年）、《魔幻迷宫》(Labyrinth，1986年）、The Last Temptation of Christ与Basquiat（1996年）。

他在1969年遇见他的第一任妻子–Angela Bowie，Angie对时尚流行的敏感度很强，作风前卫大胆，狂放不羁，许多人认为Angie对鲍伊之后的风格产生非常大的影响，并将他拉至高峰，他们于1970年3月19号在英国肯特郡结婚，Angie并冠了鲍伊这个姓。隔年，1971年5月30号，长子诞生，名为Zowie，昵称为Joe或Joey（全名为Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones）婚后八年分居，并于1980年2月8号正式离婚。

1992年鲍伊与他的第二任妻子结婚，索马里出生的黑人超级名模Iman，之后在2000年8月15号，女儿诞生，名为Alexandria Zahra Jones (昵称为Lexi), 目前全家居住在英国伦敦以及纽约曼哈顿。

2016年1月10日，David Bowie与癌症抗斗18个月后，最终仍然离开了大家。享年69岁。

The cliché about David Bowie says he's a musical chameleon, adapting himself according to fashion and trends. While such a criticism is too glib, there's no denying that Bowie demonstrated remarkable skill for perceiving musical trends at his peak in the '70s. After spending several years in the late '60s as a mod and as an all-around music-hall entertainer, Bowie reinvented himself as a hippie singer/songwriter. Prior to his breakthrough in 1972, he recorded a proto-metal record and a pop/rock album, eventually redefining glam rock with his ambiguously sexy Ziggy Stardust persona. Ziggy made Bowie an international star, yet he wasn't content to continue to churn out glitter rock. By the mid-'70s, he developed an effete, sophisticated version of Philly soul that he dubbed "plastic soul," which eventually morphed into the eerie avant-pop of 1976's Station to Station. Shortly afterward, he relocated to Berlin, where he recorded three experimental electronic albums with Brian Eno. At the dawn of the '80s, Bowie was still at the height of his powers, yet following his blockbuster dance-pop album Let's Dance in 1983, he slowly sank into mediocrity before salvaging his career in the early '90s. Even when he was out of fashion in the '80s and '90s, it was clear that Bowie was one of the most influential musicians in rock, for better and for worse. Each one of his phases in the '70s sparked a number of subgenres, including punk, new wave, goth rock, the new romantics, and electronica. Few rockers ever had such lasting impact.

David Jones began performing music when he was 13 years old, learning the saxophone while he was at Bromley Technical High School; another pivotal event happened at the school, when his left pupil became permanently dilated in a schoolyard fight. Following his graduation at 16, he worked as a commercial artist while playing saxophone in a number of mod bands, including the King Bees, the Manish Boys (which also featured Jimmy Page as a session man), and Davey Jones & the Lower Third. All three of those bands released singles, which were generally ignored, yet he continued performing, changing his name to David Bowie in 1966 after the Monkees' Davy Jones became an international star. Over the course of 1966, he released three mod singles on Pye Records, which were all ignored. The following year, he signed with Deram, releasing the music hall, Anthony Newley-styled David Bowie that year. Upon completing the record, he spent several weeks in a Scottish Buddhist monastery. Once he left the monastery, he studied with Lindsay Kemp's mime troupe, forming his own mime company, the Feathers, in 1969. The Feathers were short-lived, and he formed the experimental art group Beckenham Arts Lab in 1969.

Bowie needed to finance the Arts Lab, so he signed with Mercury Records that year and released Man of Words, Man of Music, a trippy singer/songwriter album featuring "Space Oddity." The song was released as a single and became a major hit in the U.K., convincing Bowie to concentrate on music. Hooking up with his old friend Marc Bolan, he began miming at some of Bolan's T. Rex concerts, eventually touring with Bolan, bassist/producer Tony Visconti, guitarist Mick Ronson, and drummer Cambridge as Hype. The band quickly fell apart, yet Bowie and Ronson remained close, working on the material that formed Bowie's next album, The Man Who Sold the World, as well as recruiting Michael "Woody" Woodmansey as their drummer. Produced by Tony Visconti, who also played bass, The Man Who Sold the World was a heavy guitar rock album that failed to gain much attention. Bowie followed the album in late 1971 with the pop/rock Hunky Dory, an album that featured Ronson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman.

Following the release of Hunky Dory, Bowie began to develop his most famous incarnation, Ziggy Stardust: an androgynous, bisexual rock star from another planet. Before he unveiled Ziggy, Bowie claimed in a January 1972 interview with the Melody Maker that he was gay, helping to stir interest in his forthcoming album. Taking cues from Bolan's stylish glam rock, Bowie dyed his hair orange and began wearing women's clothing. He began calling himself Ziggy Stardust, and his backing band — Ronson, Woodmansey, and bassist Trevor Bolder — were the Spiders from Mars. The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was released with much fanfare in England in late 1972. The album and its lavish, theatrical concerts became a sensation throughout England, and it helped him become the only glam rocker to carve out a niche in America. Ziggy Stardust became a word-of-mouth hit in the U.S., and the re-released "Space Oddity" — which was now also the title of the re-released Man of Words, Man of Music — reached the American Top 20. Bowie quickly followed Ziggy with Aladdin Sane later in 1973. Not only did he record a new album that year, but he also produced Lou Reed's Transformer, the Stooges' Raw Power, and Mott the Hoople's comeback All the Young Dudes, for which he also wrote the title track.

Given the amount of work Bowie packed into 1972 and 1973, it wasn't surprising that his relentless schedule began to catch up with him. After recording the all-covers Pin-Ups with the Spiders from Mars, he unexpectedly announced the band's breakup, as well as his retirement from live performances, during the group's final show that year. He retreated from the spotlight to work on a musical adaptation of George Orwell's 1984, but once he was denied the rights to the novel, he transformed the work into Diamond Dogs. The album was released to generally poor reviews in 1974, yet it generated the hit single "Rebel Rebel," and he supported the album with an elaborate and expensive American tour. As the tour progressed, Bowie became fascinated with soul music, eventually redesigning the entire show to reflect his new "plastic soul." Hiring guitarist Carlos Alomar as the band's leader, Bowie refashioned his group into a Philly soul band and recostumed himself in sophisticated, stylish fashions. The change took fans by surprise, as did the double-album David Live, which featured material recorded on the 1974 tour.

Young Americans, released in 1975, was the culmination of Bowie's soul obsession, and it became his first major crossover hit, peaking in the American Top Ten and generating his first U.S. number one hit in "Fame," a song he co-wrote with John Lennon and Alomar. Bowie relocated to Los Angeles, where he earned his first movie role in Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976). While in L.A., he recorded Station to Station, which took the plastic soul of Young Americans into darker, avant-garde-tinged directions, yet was also a huge hit, generating the Top Ten single "Golden Years." The album inaugurated Bowie's persona of the elegant "Thin White Duke," and it reflected Bowie's growing cocaine-fueled paranoia. Soon, he decided Los Angeles was too boring and returned to England; shortly after arriving back in London, he gave the awaiting crowd a Nazi salute, a signal of his growing, drug-addled detachment from reality. The incident caused enormous controversy, and Bowie left the country to settle in Berlin, where he lived and worked with Brian Eno.

Once in Berlin, Bowie sobered up and began painting, as well as studying art. He also developed a fascination with German electronic music, which Eno helped him fulfill on their first album together, Low. Released early in 1977, Low was a startling mixture of electronics, pop, and avant-garde technique. While it was greeted with mixed reviews at the time, it proved to be one of the most influential albums of the late '70s, as did its follow-up, Heroes, which followed that year. Not only did Bowie record two solo albums in 1977, but he also helmed Iggy Pop's comeback records The Idiot and Lust for Life, and toured anonymously as Pop's keyboardist. He resumed his acting career in 1977, appearing in Just A Gigolo with Marlene Dietrich and Kim Novak, as well as narrating Eugene Ormandy's version of Peter and the Wolf. Bowie returned to the stage in 1978, launching an international tour that was captured on the double-album Stage. During 1979, Bowie and Eno recorded Lodger in New York, Switzerland, and Berlin, releasing the album at the end of the year. Lodger was supported with several innovative videos, as was 1980's Scary Monsters, and these videos — "DJ," "Fashion," "Ashes to Ashes" — became staples on early MTV.

Scary Monsters was Bowie's last album for RCA, and it wrapped up his most innovative, productive period. Later in 1980, he performed the title role in stage production of The Elephant Man, including several shows on Broadway. Over the next two years, he took an extended break from recording, appearing in Christine F (1982) and the vampire movie The Hunger (1982), returning to the studio only for his 1981 collaboration with Queen, "Under Pressure," and the theme for Paul Schrader's remake of Cat People. In 1983, he signed an expensive contract with EMI Records and released Let's Dance. Bowie had recruited Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers to produce the album, giving the record a sleek, funky foundation, and hired the unknown Stevie Ray Vaughan as lead guitarist. Let's Dance became his most successful record, thanks to stylish, innovative videos for "Let's Dance" and "China Girl," which turned both songs into Top Ten hits. Bowie supported the record with the sold-out arena tour Serious Moonlight.

Greeted with massive success for the first time, Bowie wasn't quite sure how to react, and he eventually decided to replicate Let's Dance with 1984's Tonight. While the album sold well, producing the Top Ten hit "Blue Jean," it received poor reviews and ultimately was a commercial disappointment. He stalled in 1985, recording a duet of Martha & the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street" with Mick Jagger for Live Aid. He also spent more time jet-setting, appearing at celebrity events across the globe, and appeared in several movies — Into the Night (1985), Absolute Beginners (1986), Labyrinth (1986) — that turned out to be bombs. Bowie returned to recording in 1987 with the widely panned Never Let Me Down, supporting the album with the Glass Spider tour, which also received poor reviews. In 1989, he remastered his RCA catalog with Rykodisc for CD release, kicking off the series with the three-disc box Sound + Vision. Bowie supported the discs with an accompanying tour of the same name, claming that he was retiring all of his older characters from performance following the tour. Sound + Vision was successful, and Ziggy Stardust re-charted amidst the hoopla.

Sound + Vision may have been a success, but Bowie's next project was perhaps his most unsuccessful. Picking up on the abrasive, dissonant rock of Sonic Youth and the Pixies, Bowie formed his own guitar rock combo, Tin Machine, with guitarist Reeves Gabrels, bassist Hunt Sales, and his drummer brother Tony, who had previously worked on Iggy Pop's Lust for Life with Bowie. Tin Machine released an eponymous album to poor reviews that summer and supported it with a club tour, which was only moderately successful. Despite the poor reviews, Tin Machine released a second album, the appropriately titled Tin Machine II, in 1991, and it was completely ignored.

Bowie returned to a solo career in 1993 with the sophisticated, soulful Black Tie White Noise, recording the album with Nile Rodgers and his now-permanent collaborator, Reeves Gabrels. The album was released on Savage, a subsidiary of RCA, and received positive reviews, but his new label went bankrupt shortly after its release, and the album disappeared. Black Tie White Noise was the first indication that Bowie was trying hard to resuscitate his career, as was the largely instrumental 1994 soundtrack The Buddha of Suburbia. In 1995, he reunited with Brian Eno for the wildly hyped, industrial rock-tinged Outside. Several critics hailed the album as a comeback, and Bowie supported it with a co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails in order to snag a younger, alternative audience, but his gambit failed; audiences left before Bowie's performance and Outside disappeared. He quickly returned to the studio in 1996, recording Earthling, an album heavily influenced by techno and drum'n'bass. Upon its early 1997 release, Earthling received generally positive reviews, yet the album failed to gain an audience, and many techno purists criticized Bowie for allegedly exploiting their subculture. hours... followed in 1999. For 2002, Bowie reunited with producerToni Visconti and released Heathen to very positive reviews. He continued on with Visconti for Reality in 2003.
