I remember being introduced to DB by a guy from Atlanta that was living on the same hall as me in East in the fall of 84. I was already familiar with his hits but had never listened to his albums. Back then you could pick up most of the albums he released in the 1970s around town in the used record stores for a couple of bucks...and I did. A group of us traveled from Boone to see him at the Dean Dome in 87. Good times. RIP Ziggy!

I had no idea that he was sick. I did not follow his career closely, but it still hit me as a surprise. Sad news.

One of the most influential and versatile song writers of the rock era. Changes, Rebel Rebel, Fame the list goes on and on. He will be missed.

Freshman year 1981 my history professor played "Fame" in one of our lectures... Only one I really remember.
