David Bowie random trivia

Shares a birthday with fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Elvis Presley, Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger and legendary promoter Bill Graham. He allegedly refused the British honour of C.B.E. (Commander of the order of British Empire) in 2000. In 1968 while he was still a struggling artist, Bowie wrote some English lyrics to a French song titled "Comme d'Habitude" (As Usual). His version, "Even a Fool Learns to Love", never did get recorded. But when the French melody caught the attention of Paul Anka, he reworked the lyrics and the song became "My Way". Of course, when Frank Sinatra recorded "My Way" his way, it turned to gold.
