Andy Warhol

The track was recorded for Hunky Dory at Trident Studios in London with David Bowie, Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey. Ken Scott produced the album with Bowie, and Ronson contributed the acoustic guitar arrangement that shapes the recording. Released on Hunky Dory in 1971, it reflected Bowie interest in American pop art and the New York underground around Andy Warhol. Though not issued as a charting single, it became one of the album notable character studies alongside songs about Bob Dylan and the Velvet Underground circle. It remains a recognized Hunky Dory track and a key example of Bowie early 1970s fascination with art celebrity and performance identity. Dana Gillespie later recorded a Bowie produced version, linking the song to Bowie wider MainMan era repertoire.
