David Bowie Introduces Major Tom in ‘Space Oddity’
On this day in music, June 20, 1969, David Bowie recorded “Space Oddity” – his first song about the fictional astronaut, Major Tom – at London’s Trident Studios. The single was released weeks later, in time for the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and was used by the BBC during their broadcast of the event. Marking a stylistic shift in Bowie’s music, “Space Oddity” was received warmly by the critics, but did not find initial commercial success in the UK or the US (where it was banned by many radio stations, due to its description as “controversial” in a press release). After performing the song on Top of the Pops that October, however, “Space Oddity” peaked at No.5 in the UK, while subsequent reissues over the next decade kept the single on the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Bowie, meanwhile, revisited Major Tom in several future songs.
