The David Bowie Centre at the V&A East Storehouse opens on Saturday and among the treasure trove of Bowie-related items that have been unearthed to go into the archive is a list of his favourite songs.
It’s a simple note that says: “Memo for radio show - list of favourite records,” and proceeds to list 15 tracks. Some of those are by names that we’ve long known are Bowie influences - Scott Walker and his brothers are in there, as is The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, an eccentric '60s performer who was a huge influence on the creation of Ziggy Stardust.
