who wrote and sang ground control to major tom?
david bowie
in the promotional film from 1969, david bowie plays as major tom, ground control (gc), and the countdown announcer. when the lyrics "and the stars look very different today" are said, two lovely women appear, portraying either angels or aliens, or perhaps both. the moment "though i'm past one hundred thousand miles, i'm feeling very still" are said, the two women can be seen removing major tom's helmet and spacesuit. later a still fully outfitted major tom can be seen spinning around in space, with a panicked ground control attempting to contact him; the spinning major tom is either the reality of the situation, or ground control's imagination. the music video ends with major tom sitting in his tin can, far above the world, with the two women by his side in a ménage à trois style.
