Bowie’s intense passion was about sharing love with others and encouraging them to spread their generosity. His untimely death from cancer on January 10, 2016 stunned his many fans around the world who were devastated by the tragic news... ...Philadelphians will not be alone when they honor his legacy with “Philly Loves David Bowie Week” that will comprise more than a dozen unique events between January 6 and 14. Proceeds of the events will benefit cancer research at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which was founded in November of 1855 as the first children’s hospital in the United States. CHOP remains a leader for similar institutions having been ranked first in more specialty care programs than any other pediatric hospital in the country, and is a leader in pediatric oncology." On January 10th, my radio station XPN played David Bowie songs all day long. It was nostalgic to tune in as much as possible, stirring memories from as far back as the mid-1970s. To know proceeds from area concerts this week will benefit CHOP, the hospital where I did my pediatric nursing rotation, is inspiring, making Bowie's legacy even more meaningful for me. If you love this man's sound as much as me, I'm including three songs that are on my mind at this time. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Hello mar - Bowie was so popular with my youngest. When he passed she, like many others grieved. This is a wonderful tribute to the man and his music.

Maria.....Yes, it was a painful loss of a huge talent. The incredible LOVE between David & Imam always touched me. How wonderful that they created a precious child from their love.

I can believe it's been a year since we lost one of our most talented icons! I was in complete shock when I heard the news that morning as I was getting ready for work.
