Purpose of use

This song is from the time of Bowie's rise to new popularity in 1972. Commencing near the end of the introduction, the sample demonstrates the glam rock style Bowie helped to pioneer and the sound created by Mick Ronson, Bowie's guitarist in the Spiders from Mars, themes discussed in the article. Words alone are inadequate to describe the song, and presenting the sound of this song is necessary for a complete understanding of its nature and its contrast with material from other periods, and hence of the way the Bowie's music evolved.
