Bowie is an Irish and Scottish surname. The name is pronounced /ˈbuːiː/ BOO-ee, /ˈboʊ.i/ BO-ee, or /ˈbaʊ.i/ BOW-ee.
The name can be derived from the Gaelic nickname buidhe, meaning "yellow", "fair-haired". The surname can also be an Anglicised form of the Irish surname Ó Buadhaigh; this surname means "descendant of Buadhach" and is also rendered as Bogue and Boyce. The personal name Buadhach means "victorious". The surname Bowie is rendered in Scottish Gaelic as Buidheach (masculine) and Bhuidheach (feminine), as well as Mac'IlleBhuidhe (masculine) and Nic'IlleBhuidhe (feminine). Early instances of the surname in Scotland, recorded in 1481, are: Boye, Bowy, and Boee.
A family of the surname, the Bowie family, was one of the colonial families of Maryland with John Bowie, Sr. being the first Bowie in the colony.
David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known as David Bowie (/ˈboʊ.i/), was an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, painter, and actor. He was a figure in popular music for over five decades, and was considered by critics and musicians as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft significantly impacted popular music. During his lifetime, he sold an estimated 140 million records worldwide. In the UK, he was awarded nine platinum album certifications, eleven gold and eight silver, and released eleven number-one albums. In the US, he received five platinum and seven gold certifications. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
Bowie may refer to:
David (/ˈdeɪvɪd/; Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern David, Tiberian Dāwîḏ;ISO 259-3 Dawid; Arabic: داوُد Dāwūd; Syriac: ܕܘܝܕ Dawid; Ancient Greek: Δαυίδ; Latin: Davidus, David; Strong's: Daveed) was, according to the Books of Samuel, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel, and according to the New Testament, an ancestor of Jesus. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040 – 970 BCE, his reign over Judah c. 1010–970 BCE.
The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only Old Testament sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan Stele (dated c. 850–835 BCE) contains the phrase בית דוד (bytdwd), read as "House of David", which many scholars confirm to be a likely plausible match to the existence in the mid-9th century BCE of a Judean royal dynasty called the House of David.
Depicted as a valorous warrior of great renown, and a poet and musician credited for composing much of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms, King David is widely viewed as a righteous and effective king in battle and civil justice. He is described as a man after God's own heart in 1 Samuel 13:14 and Acts 13:22.
David Bowie with The Lower Third Can't help thinking about me / And I say to myself Pye UK 7N 17020 - January 1966 David's fourth single, and The Lower Third's second single (and last with Bowie), was released on 14 January 1966 -- and ranks among the finest pieces created by the young artist in his pre-'Space Oddity' period. 'Can't Help Thinking About Me' was also the first public release to feature David's name change from Jones to Bowie (the surname which he would take on for the rest of his career until now -- though it can be said that nowadays he is walking around as David Jones, homely dad, and therefore finally as himself ... now that he is retired ... let's not get me started on this one!). http://exploringdavidbowie.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/cant-help-thinking-about-me/

David Bowie and I were both born in the same area of London in the same year 1947 two weeks apart in January and both originally had the same surname Jones. David Bowie is the name of the debut album by British musician David Bowie, released in 1967 on Deram Records. Its content bears little overt resemblance to the type of music that later made him famous, such as the folk rock of "Space Oddity" or the glam of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. NME critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have said, "a listener strictly accustomed to David Bowie in his assorted '70s guises would probably find this debut album either shocking or else simply quaint", while biographer David Buckley describes its status in the Bowie discography as "the vinyl equivalent of the madw...
For many years David Bowie fans have squabbled over how to pronounce "Bowie". But how would the man himself say it? Voila! (big thank you to previous contributors on this subject!)
