An interesting story behind their biggest hit.
From Wikipedia:
"David Bowie had long been a fan of the band. After learning from Watts that they were about to split,[1] he persuaded them to stay together and offered them "Suffragette City" from his then yet-to-be-released Ziggy Stardust album.[1] They turned it down. Bowie also penned "All the Young Dudes" for them and it became their biggest hit."

Thanks for the history lesson. Love music but really don't follow ins and outs of the performers.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I always read the album inserts! I tried to get to know all of the musicians on any given recording for some odd reason.
