David Bowie’s classic, Hunky Dory was released 54 years ago this week. It represents the moment that Bowie – a previously wannabe popstar with potential, but little else – finally proved his worth and began his ascent to superstardom.
Hunky Dory is the combination of Bowie’s newfound confidence, his ability to pick and surround himself with a brilliant band and the level of trust he placed in a keen, new co-producer, encouraging him to find his feet and take the group’s combined work to the next level.
