Jimmy Page Helped Out David Bowie when they were young
The songwriting chops of David Bowie arent up for debate. Across a career that spanned six decades, The Starman delivered some of rock and rolls most potent outings. Whether from his iconic Ziggy Stardust persona and Moonage Daydream, his deeply moody Berlininspired Heroes or his hipshaking pop turn with Lets Dance, Bowie gave us some of the best tunes around. However, like all great artists, he wasnt afraid to collaborate and once shared that he even got the help of a generous Jimmy Page for two of his songs. Unfortunately, for all those dreaming of a starryeyed Ziggy Stardust crossing paths with the wild man of Led Zeppelin during the hedonistic 1970s and sitting down to create a song together, we have to burst your bubble. The duos collaboration came before either man truly tasted success, pitching Bowie as a struggling blues hero and Page as a session master. Daydreaming about a noodling Ziggy Zeppelin, is one thing, but we shouldnt forget that we still have their original work toge
