Warren Peace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warren Peace (i.e. "War and Peace") is a pseudonym for Geoffrey A. MacCormack (also known as GA MacCormack and Mac Cormack), an English vocalist, composer and dancer best known for his work with David Bowie in the 1970s.
A long-time friend of Bowie, Peace (initially as GA MacCormack) contributed backing vocals to a number of albums, beginning with Aladdin Sane in 1973. He appeared with Bowie during his 1973 tour of the US and Japan, travelling back to the UK via the Trans-Siberian Railway with the singer, who refused to fly. He then performed on the final UK leg of the tour which ended with Ziggy Stardust's 'retirement' at the Hammersmith Odeon in July (later released as Ziggy Stardust - The Motion Picture).
With Bowie, Peace co-wrote the music for "Rock 'n' Roll With Me" on Diamond Dogs (1974) and "Turn Blue" on Iggy Pop's Lust for Life (1977). He also appeared as an 'Astronette' dancer and vocalist in The 1980 Floor Show TV special with Bowie in 1973 and as one of the 'Diamond Dogs' dancer/vocalists on Bowie's 1974 US tour (recorded and released as David Live).
