Life on Mars (1972) by Bowie
David Bowie was 25 when he made this composition. As with many artists, their most productive and innovative period is between 20 and 30.
I loved the androgynous persona of Amanda Lear-ish Ziggy. I wonder who did the make-up.
Some Amanda Lear androgyny Euro-disco:

“Enigma (Give A Bit Of Mmmmh To Me)” (1972) Amanda Lear
Previously on Jahsonic: Seu Jorge, a cover version of “Is there Life on Mars”
I guess Pierre Laroche was the make-up artist.

Thanks Georgy,
Pierre La Roche apparently also did the make up for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a film I never could get into.

I think he did the makeup for Amanda Lear and Patrick Juvet too.
