PRESENTING DAVID BOWIE! by David Douglas

Finished Th 9/3/15

This was one of my books, and I thought that it was just an exploitive book of Bowie's career, but it really is a look at Bowie's HUNKY DORY era and his connection to Warhol.

The author was part of MainMan, Tony Defries management company that handled Bowie in the early 70's.

Lee Childers- a photographer at The Factory that met with Bowie when PORK played London.

Cherry Vanilla- (Hi, I'm Cherry Vanilla, and I've got two scoops for ya)- Also with PORK and hooked up with Bowie.

Also, the book covers his work with the mime artist, Lindsay Kemp

3/4 of the book is about 'The Warhol Years' and the last quarter is the author's opinions about Bowie's albums up to about 1975 (YOUNG AMERICANS). I read the book in a couple of afternoons.
