Mick Ronson , the great guitarist who helped create the sound of David Bowie's highly influential glam rock years. A major collaborator during this period in the early 1970s. He was a member of the bands The Rats, The Hype, The Spiders from Mars and Mott the Hoople.

David Robert Jones, known as David Bowie , was an English singer-songwriter and actor born on January 8, 1947 in London and died on January 10, 2016 in New York. After beginnings between folk and variety in the second half of the 1960s and a detour through mime, Bowie became known to the public with the song Space Oddity. He rose to fame by embodying the flamboyant character of Ziggy Stardust, who became one of the leading figures of the glam rock movement with the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars on which he was supported by guitarist Mick Ronson. Bowie then became interested in black music, achieving his first No. 1 in the United States with the song Fame.

He then moved to West Berlin to work alongside Brian Eno on electronic music. Between 1977 and 1979, he produced his "Berlin trilogy", considered one of his artistic peaks.
