He is known for his distinctive baritone voice as well as the intellectual depth and eclecticism of his work. Aside from his musical abilities, he is recognised for his  beauty, which was an iconic element to his image, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s. Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in July 1969 when his song "" reached the top five of the . After a three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged in 1972 during the  era with the flamboyant,   Ziggy Stardust, spearheaded by the hit single "" and the album . Bowie's impact at that time, as described by biographer David Buckley, "challenged the core belief of the rock music of its day" and "created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture." The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona proved merely one facet of a career marked by continual reinvention, musical innovation and striking visual presentation.

In 1975, Bowie achieved his first major American crossover success with the number-one single "" and the hit album , which the singer characterised as "".

He then reached a new commercial peak in 1983 with , which yielded several hit singles. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including, , , and . He has not toured since the 2003–04  and has not performed live since 2006. Bowie's latest studio album  was released in March 2013.

David Buckley says of Bowie: "His influence has been unique in popular culture—he has permeated and altered more lives than any comparable figure." In the BBC's 2002 poll of the , Bowie was placed at number 29. Throughout his career, he has sold an estimated 140 million albums. In the UK, he has been awarded nine Platinum album certifications, 11 Gold and eight Silver, and in the US, five Platinum and seven Gold certifications. In 2004,  ranked him 39th on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", and 23rd on their list of the best singers of all time.
