Earl Slick is a guitarist best known for his collaborations with David Bowie, though he has also worked with other artists and even released some solo recordings. Slick was initially hired by Bowie to replace Mick Ronson during the Diamond Dogs tour. He stayed on for Young Americans and Station To Station.

He returned to Bowie for the Serious Moonlight tour to support Let's Dance, then formed Phantom, Rocker & Slick with Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker. The early 2000s saw Slick return to Bowie's roster, appearing on the tour to support Heathen. He also played on Reality and its supporting tour.
