June 5, 1964 –
David Bowie’s first ever release was Liza Jane/Louie Louie Go Home on this date, under the name of Davie Jones with The King-Bees.
Despite promoting the single on the television shows Juke Box Jury, Ready Steady Go! and The Beat Room, and receiving good radio coverage, the single sold poorly and the band was subsequently dropped from the label Vocalion Pop. He later changed his name to Bowie to avoid confusion with Monkee Davy Jones.
