David Robert Jones was an English singer-songwriter and actor of Irish descent. In 1967 He released his debut album "David Bowie" spawning 1 single titled "Love You till Tuesday". The album was commercially unsuccessful, which led Bowie to acquire a new manager, Kenneth Pitt, who commissioned a promotional film in hopes of widening the artist's audience. For the film, Bowie wrote a new song, titled "Space Oddity", a tale about a fictional astronaut. The song earned Bowie a contract with Mercury Records, who agreed to finance production of a new album, with Pitt hiring Tony Visconti to produce.
