David Bowie’s Career of Broken Barriers

After fighting cancer for eighteen months, rock legend David Bowie has died. He was 69.

Also gone are Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke, and every other face in the career of this rock chameleon. Never has there been a more multi-faceted performer in pop. His career was dedicated to breaking barriers and adding a visual creativity to rock and roll, borrowing elements from the theater (and who-knows-where.)

Bowie stayed busy to the end. His latest album had only just been issued about a week ago.

Speaking of breaking barriers, can you imagine the impact of this appearance on Soul Train?
