EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the swinging 60s when British pop singer David Bowie was known as Davie Jones. The image captures a pivotal moment in his early career, outside the iconic BBC Television Centre, where he anxiously awaits a meeting with Barry Langford, producer of the popular show "Gadzooks Its All Happening!". However, there is an intriguing twist to this tale. Davie and his group had been banned from appearing on the show due to their rebellious long hair. Determined to make their mark on television screens across Britain, they struck a deal with the producer - they would be allowed to perform on Monday evening's show only if they agreed to have their unruly locks tamed by the BBC TV Make-up department. The photograph exudes both excitement and anticipation as Davie stands confidently in his stylish suit, ready for his chance at stardom. His portrait showcases not only his undeniable talent but also hints at the enigmatic persona that would later define him as David Bowie. This snapshot from March 5th, 1965 encapsulates an era of music revolution and rebellion against societal norms. It serves as a reminder that even legends like Bowie faced obstacles along their path to greatness but were willing to compromise without compromising their unique style. Alisdair MacDonald's masterful capture immortalizes this significant moment in music history and invites us all into Memory Lane Prints' collection of timeless photographs.
