7 great performances from across the decadesWhen David Bowie was in his prime, which was most of his life, anybody who was somebody wanted to be him, or be near him.

He blew minds with 1969’s “Space Oddity” before taking off with the early 70s albums The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and Aladdin Sane. And then he stole the 80s as evidenced by Let’s Dance featuring the title track, “Modern Love” and “China Girl.”
