MY LIFE WITH DAVID

Claudia Lennear

A heartwarming, heartbreaking story of respect and easy affection that shows why Bowie should be adored for his kindness and sense of humor, and not just for his genius.

Claudia Lennear, the most important backup singer of the 1970s and the legendary inspiration for the Rolling Stones’ classic hit “Brown Sugar,” paints a romantic portrait of her decade-long relationship with David Bowie at the height of his early career. Lennear shares this never-before told story of music, companionship, and young love against the glittering backdrop of 1970s Los Angeles. The two eventually parted ways, but the story doesn’t end there. After 35 years apart, Bowie and Lennear reconnected in their sixties, and enjoyed a renewed friendship during the last three years of his life… the kind of friendship only possible between two people who shared something special long ago. A heartwarming, heartbreaking story of respect and easy affection that shows why Bowie should be adored for his kindness and sense of humor, and not just for his genius.
