🎼17 December 1971. 50 years ago David Bowie releases one of his absolute art rock masterpieces: his fourth studio album Hunky Dory, which Bowie partly dedicates to 3 American legends of the time: #AndyWarhol, #BobDylan, #LouReed.
It's also the first Bowie album in which amazing #guitarist Mick Ronson 🎸and #keyboardist Rick Wakeman 🎹(who will soon join #Yes) appear.
In the Chat Room👇 the link for listening to the entire album, I'm sure everyone can recognize some of its iconic songs like "Changes" or "Life on Mars" 🤟
