Simon Goddard is the author of Bowie Odyssey 70 (a Sunday Times Book Of The Year) and six other books about pop music. He was born in Cardiff. He was born in Cardiff on 21 December 1971 - the week the first UK reviews of Hunky Dory were printed in Disc and Sounds magazines and Benny Hill kept T. Rex from becoming Christmas number 1.
'Simon Goddard's evocation of David Bowie circa '71 is imagined as brilliantly as its predecessor, which was the best book written about its subject until this one. The narrative is immense... Stupendous' Classic Rock, 9/10 'Continues the excellent year-by-year series that places David Bowie's ground-breaking Seventies music in its social and historical context, told with a novelist's attention to detail' Choice 'Rock history in an ice blue Freddie Burretti suit, Simon Goddard's project to write a book about each year of David Bowie's '70s continues in suitably gorgeous style... as lusciously all-enveloping as its subject demands' Mojo, 4* 'My god it's brilliant. A delicious romp' Mike Scott, The Waterboys
