mick ronson played piano & produced the string arrangement on lou reeds perfect day
he also arranged the orchestration on life on mars.
although the production of reed's album 'transformer' was officially credited to david bowie, but many musicians and historians note that ronson handled much of the musical direction and arranging. bowie himself later acknowledged how central ronson was to the sound.
ronson conducted and helped shape the orchestral feel. he also effectively co-produced large parts of the album.
