Book Synopsis



The most authoritative work on the creation of Bowie's music ever published

"This is a book unlike any other, the definitive analysis of David's music, told in a quiet natural way, but with absolute authenticity, by the people around him" - Hermione Farthingale

"Jérôme Soligny is one of the best authorities in the world of David Bowie's career and life in general... His new biography Rainbowman is a thorough and honest account of the great man." - Tony Visconti

"Jérôme is a guy who is still aware that popular music is an art form and not a money suppository. He writes from the heart and is one of the last exemplars of a dying breed. The critic, armed with intelligence and brute compulsive honesty, as dangerous as a river." - Iggy Pop

"Not long ago, Jérôme told me something that I find very true: 'David played saxophone, guitar, a bit of keyboards, but above all, he played... musicians!' I think he was right on the money." - Mike Garson
