FAME

In 1962, Bowie formed his first band at the age of 15, named the Konrads. Playing guitar-based rock and roll at local youth gatherings and weddings. The singer's debut single, "Liza Jane", credited to Davie Jones with the King Bees, was not commercially successful. Dissatisfied with the King Bees and their repertoire of Howlin' Wolf and Willie Dixon covers, Bowie quit the band less than a month later to join the Manish Boys, another blues outfit, who incorporated folk and soul. Bowie became immersed in the creation of personae to present to the world. The Bowie composition "Over The Wall We Go" became a 1967 single for Oscar; "Silly Boy Blue", was released the
following year.
