A musical genius for you Arista
 

Mick Ronson.

From East Hull, where I come from.

Mick is one of the greatest.

David Bowie may have been the great showman and great lyricist, but Ronson was the music behind him.

I love this.

A legend like Lou Reed mentioning the Hull accent. Makes me so proud of my home.

Mick is good on Guitar

Good? He's one of the greatest ever.

Tragically died in 1993 from liver cancer at the age of 46. That's the same age I am now. And I'll be 47 in a months time.

Some great tributes here.

Watch until the end when top people in the business are asked if we'd have had the David Bowie we know without Mick Ronson.

Mick Ronson was pretty much responsible for these two songs, he did the musical arrangements of these, among many others.

Wasn't just one of the greatest guitarists ever, also one of the greatest musical arrangers ever. Classically trained on both piano and violin.

Yes
he was a Session Musician
so able to play it all

Sad we lost him back in 1993
