"The Prettiest Star" is a song by David Bowie, originally released as a single in March 1970. In January 1970, Bowie re-recorded an old Deram track, "London Bye Ta-Ta", intended as a follow-up single to "Space Oddity". However, the same sessions spawned a new composition named "The Prettiest Star", which Bowie had written for Angela Barnett, reputedly playing it down the telephone as part of his proposal to her. The song is in the style of the Greek hasapiko dance as a tribute to Angie's Cypriot ethnic origin. He also chose it as his next single, to the displeasure of manager Kenneth Pitt, who favoured "London Bye Ta-Ta".

  • "The Prettiest Star" es una canción por el músico británico David Bowie, originalmente publicada como sencillo en marzo de 1970.​ Una versión más influenciada al glam rock fue grabada en diciembre de 1972​​ o en enero de 1973​​ para el álbum Aladdin Sane, con Mick Ronson recreando el trabajo original de guitarra de Bolan casi nota por nota.​ (es)
  • The Prettiest Star est une chanson écrite, composée et interprétée par David Bowie. Dédiée à sa fiancée Angela Barnett, elle est sortie en single en mars 1970. Contrairement à son précédent single, Space Oddity, c'est un échec commercial complet, malgré un bon accueil critique. Trois ans plus tard, une nouvelle version de la chanson paraît sur l'album Aladdin Sane. (fr)

  • The Prettiest Star is een nummer van de Britse muzikant David Bowie, uitgebracht als single in 1970. In januari 1970 nam Bowie een van zijn oudere nummers uit zijn Deram-periode op, "London Bye Ta-Ta", oorspronkelijk bedoeld als opvolger voor de single "Space Oddity". Tijdens deze opnamesessies ontstond er een nieuw nummer genaamd "The Prettiest Star", wat Bowie had geschreven voor zijn vriendin Angela Barnett. Volgens verhalen speelde hij dit nummer over de telefoon als onderdeel van zijn aanzoek. Het nummer is geschreven in een Griekse dansstijl genaamd hassapikos, als eerbetoon aan Angela's Cypriotische oorsprong. Ook koos hij het als zijn volgende single, wat zijn manager niet leuk vond, aangezien hij "London Bye Ta-Ta" liever als single had gezien. (nl)
  • "The Prettiest Star" é uma canção do músico britânico David Bowie, originalmente lançada como single em março de 1970. Em janeiro de 1970, Bowie regravou uma antiga faixa lançada pela Deram records, "London Bye Ta Ta", que seria o single seguinte a "Space Oddity". Apesar disso, as sessões de regravação acabaram criando uma nova faixa chamada "The Prettiest Star", que Bowie escreveu para Angela Barnett. Diz-se que Bowie tocou a canção pelo telefone como parte de seu pedido de casamento para Barnett. Na faixa, há o estilo de dança grego "hasapiko", como homenagem à origem cipriota de Angie. Ele escolheu a canção como seu próximo single, para o desagrado do seu empresário Kenneth Pitt, que preferia "Londres Bye Ta Ta". (pt)
