‘Walk On the Wild Side’- David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed hanging out in London, 1972.
Pictured here are music legends Lou Reed of Velvet Underground, David Bowie and Iggy Pop hanging out in London, back in 1972. Bowie was a leading figure in popular music for over five decades before his passing and Pop is widely considered the godfather of punk. Bowie is credited with helping Pop launch his career. It was after their friendship formed and they started working on projects together that Pop’s career received a massive boost. In 1977, Pop signed with RCA Records as a solo artist and Bowie helped write and produce The Idiot and Lust for Life. These two albums went on to become Pop’s most acclaimed albums as a solo artist.
