Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of David Robert Jones OAL (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars performing 'Starman' on Top of the Pops in honor of the fact that on June 16, 1972, - David Bowie released his fifth studio album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars a concept album telling the story of a fictional bisexual alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust.
Rest in peace David Robert Jones!

'Starman' written by David Bowie
Lyrics
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie"

One classic David Bowie song inspires me to post a couple more.

He did give that phase up. He still made great music in the 1970's.

I loved this album. It has consistently ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time. It was a great concept album, and it was also a great movie. Not a bad song on the album. Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
