'This is a book unlike any other, the definitive analysis of
David's music, told in a quiet natural way, but with absolute
authenticity, by the people around him.' - HERMIONE FARTHINGALE
'Jérôme Soligny is one of the best authorities in the world on
David Bowie's career and life in general... His new biography
Rainbowman is a thorough and honest account of the great man.' -
TONY VISCONTI 'Jérôme is a guy who is still aware that popular
music is an art form and not a money suppository. He writes from
the heart and is one of the last exemplars of a dying breed. The
critic, armed with intelligence and brute compulsive honesty, as
dangerous as a river.' - IGGY POP 'Not long ago, Jérôme told me
something that I find very true: "David played saxophone, guitar, a
bit of keyboards, but above all, he played musicians!" I think he
really hit the nail on the head.' - MIKE GARSON In David Bowie
Rainbowman, Jérôme Soligny tells the story of David Bowie the
musician with the help of those intimately involved with the
creation of his music. This uniquely exhaustive work on Bowie's
1967-1980 albums draws on over 150 interviews with the musicians,
producers and friends who knew Bowie best, including Robert Fripp,
Hermione Farthingale, Lou Reed, George Underwood, Mick Ronson,
Carlos Alomar, Trevor Bolder, Mike Garson, Woody Woodmansey and
many, many others. With an essay by Soligny on each album followed
by oral histories from the most trusted and influential figures in
Bowie's musical life, David Bowie Rainbowman is the definitive
guide to a singular and mercurial genius - the Rainbowman himself.
