glam rock (OED 1974)

1972 _Guardian_ 2 Sept. 8 (ProQuest Historical Newspapers)  David Bowie is not just a singer.  He is a trained mime-artist, a songwriter, one of the most gifted musical producers who ever mixed a tape and is perhaps the central figure in the new glamour-based musical style which is known as "Glam Rock."
