Angela Bowie, ex wife of legendary David Bowie, is largely known for her role in music experiments; or rather her being in the background of them. In the beginning of David Bowie's career, she was much of the driving force behind his outfits and his "Ziggy Stardust" look, which he was famous for, secondary to his actual music.
Although their marriage did not end on a happy note, causing many David Bowie fans to scorn her, I, for one, admire her creativity and the beautiful creature that she is.
But back to music experiments; I believe that even the failed ones are an important part of the whole music scene, which is where Angela comes in.
She did some solo stuff. Like I said, I admire her creative side and the role she played during the Ziggy years, but the woman has a voice that can take the paint off the walls. Really, a voice like that should not come from a female... anything; much less a tomboy goddess.
But, like I said, experiments in music are important. Whether we like or hate the outcome has little and everything to do with how it evolves over time. Even the songs that are sung with voices that sound like WTF all play a role in keeping the music experience from extinction.
