David Bowie - Fame

Fame by David Bowie Song Info

The Young Americans sessions mostly concluded by late 1974. During this time, Bowie was staying in New York, where he met John Lennon. The pair jammed together, leading to a one-day session at Electric Lady Studios in January 1975. There, Carlos Alomar had developed a guitar riff for Bowie's cover of "Footstompin'" by The Flairs, which Bowie thought was "a waste" to give to a cover. Lennon, who was in the studio with them, sang "ame" over the riff, which Bowie turned into "Fame" and he thereafter wrote the rest of the lyrics to the song. Lennon performed backing vocals and guitar on the track and worked on the tape loops. Bowie would later describe the song as "nasty, angry", and fully admitted that the song was written "with a degree of malice" aimed at the Mainman management group with whom he had been working at the time. In 1990, Bowie reflected: "I'd had very upsetting management problems and a lot of that was built into the song. I've left that all that behind me, now... I think fame itself is not a rewarding thing. The most you can say is that it gets you a seat in restaurants." "Fame" became Bowie's biggest hit to that point in the U.S. Bowie would later claim that he had "absolutely no idea" that the song would do so well as a single, saying "I wouldn't know how to pick a single if it hit me in the face."

- How can people only like One Song?

On this amazing Bowie album with all his masterpieces ...well not close To ALL of the great #davidbowie songs !! On this particular compilation every song is wonderfully written sang just a genius ! A Musical talent ! The original Master ! And he has been copied by Madonna (and many other artists ...right down to Madonnas bi-sexual publicity scheme ! Madonna cannot take credit for her mass media publicity scheme! Look at it... Reference it she did EXACTLY what Bowie did in the 70s ! Way ahead of his time and for those who .. "Only Like one song " .... I think you need to revisit this,read the lyrics, listen again and again....If you still don't get it ... ? Read some books expand your mind then listen again ...

- Album Only

Why is he forcing you to buy the whole album for one song-Moder Love. Give me a freaking break!

- Golden Years

Love Golden years! Album is a little incomplete but the radio hits are here. NOBODY SOUNDS LIKE DAVID BOWIE. A+ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

- Geezh

If your too cheap to buy the album downloaded ad the songs free, geese!

- Odd song but somehow pleasing!

David Bowie has some unusual music and this is the only one I like,no, love love love!

- Great compilation from an amazing star

I grew up listening to David Bowie, throughout the 80-'s to 90's, his music was the soundtrack of my youth & I'm so saddened that he has left us. An amazing talent, gone back to its source. RIP & God bless David Bowie, thank you sir for all of the memories & music you left us in your wake, truly, we have no adequate way of saying thank you...except to help your memory live on through your music & live on it will. I've had his family in my thoughts since I woke up to this awful news at 4:50 am CST. I cannot imagine their sadness right now, to us, he was a rock & roll legend, always fantastic & unique...to them, he was a husband, a father & a friend. God keep them during this loss. To anyone trying to decide what compilation to buy of David Bowies, this one is great, it's LOADED with some of his most memorable hits, so very worth the price. #RIP David Bowie Ziggy Stardust took back to the stars & our world lost a legend. ๐Ÿ’ซ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ซ

- Only the single disc version!?

Okay, I understand every single country has a different version of this compilation, but what I don't understand is why iTunes only has the single disc version instead of the double disc version! This version is really not much different from the 1990 compilation, "Changesbowie". Well, here are a few differences: 1. The non-album single, "John, I'm Only Dancing" is exempt. 2. The title track from "Diamond Dogs" is not included (which the double-disc version has). 3. The versions of "Young Americans", "Golden Years", "Ashes to Ashes" and "Fashion" are the single edits rather than the full album versions. 4. This album has the original version of "Fame" instead of the 1990 remix. 5. What's been added is Bowie's three duets from the 80's, "Under Pressure" (with Queen), "This is Not America" (with the Pat Methany Group) and his cover of "Dancing in the Street" (with Mick Jagger), but probably the most obscure one is "I'm Afraid of Americans" form his 1997 album, "Earthling". If you already have a good assortment of Bowie material from the 70's and even the 80's, then I don't recommend buying the single disc version of this compilation. I recommend going out there and seeing if you could find the double disc version, because that definitely shows a fine example of David Bowie's entire career; it's an essential career-spanning compilation that I strongly recommend. If iTunes had that version instead of this, I would have easily given it 5 stars!

- R.I.P

He will be missed ๐Ÿ˜“

- Changes

I love changes! Awesome album

- Bowie No Jutsu

David Bowie sama Senpai sans sama..... Kun c:

- The Jean Genie

enough said

- Bowie is God!

I have the album on LP and I play it all day long! Bowie is a genius and I don't understand why anybody would rate this album any less than 5 stars. If I could, I'd give it 10!

- WORST NIGHTMARE-TOO FEW SONGS

MISSING THE MOST ESSENTIAL BOWIE MATERIAL

- DB

Whos that?! It's david bowie!

- One song.

I only like song named under pressure.

- Awesomeness!!

Bowie is simply amazing and when you hear all these songs you will realize how much his music has influenced other artists.

- Music video

Artist: David Bowie Music video: China Girl Directed by: David Mallet & David Bowie Year: 1983 Running time: 4 minutes 17 seconds Description: David Bowie's buttocks are shown as he and Geeling Ng passionately kiss on a beach, nude.

- Album only

To Lebelcom regarding "Modern Love". You can get this as a single from the "ChangesBowie" album. Sometimes you just need to look. The "Best of Bowie" is well worth buying though. All of the songs are hits and this is a great compilation album. The best of the Best Ofs that iTunes has to offer.

- Love this album

I didn't know that he sang all these songs, the album had all these good songs.
