    Thanks,@Inside_The_Music,for this post of,Inside The Genius Of Guitarist Mick Ronson Narrated By David Bowie | Full Documentary ! What an era,the late 60's/early 70's,for british rockers,including their fame & fortune,success & failures,perceived personalities & characteristics ! This doc has many observations by,Rick Wakeman,Joe Elliott & Mick himself,with references to Lou Reed,Ian Hunter,Andy Warhol & Pork etc. Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars,produced great music,there's no doubt about it ! My first time hearing Fame,circa 1975,was thrilling ! The same with A Space Oddity ! Then along comes Alladin Sane & Diamond Dogs,and the rest is history ! Great Documentary !

    Great documentary. I'm really enjoying it but I have to mention, the photo at 32.22 is a well established fake. That's Sable Starr's body with David's head photoshopped on.
