Yes. While listening just now, for the first Time, it occurred to me that this is rather Funky--Funk-style music, that is. I had always FELT the Funkiness, but I had never said it out loud: "Wow: this is Funk-related music!" :) Until now. Your mention of "Soul Train" brought me there... Thanks!
Astroman64 John Lennon is actually the back up singer in this because in the same day him and David Bowie were in the recording studio doing separate songs so they just teamed up on this one :D
The same thing happened when the Dire Straits went to record _Money For Nothing;_ Sting just happened to be there finishing up his own session and ended up singing the line "I want my MTV".
Bowie wrote "Fame" with John Lennon. It was an expression of the anger and frustration they felt once they became Famous. Bowie always hated having to perform the song, but he also knew the fans expected it in concerts. He has said that he wished he had never written the song.
A #1 hit for David Bowie in September 1975. It went to #21 on the Rhythm & Blues charts and in 1990, to #14 on the Hot Rock & Alternative charts. It did well outside the US as well. The highest it charted was at #3 in Canada and the lowest was #17 in Belgium and the United Kingdom.
It’s funk, but it sits right back in the groove. Introducing Mr Carlos Alomar with that funky little riff, Mr John Lennon on guitar and the occasional vocal, and Mr David Bowie, who of course, needs no introduction if you are already here.
@@virginiaviola5097 I was there and here listening to it, but never at the concerts as wasn't allowed to go to any! Bowie was not one of my immediate fans..my bro loved him and emulated him!
This song i guess we can call it space age well ahead of its time. The music is unbelievably magic.let alone david bowes voice super powerful strong he could really rip it up ¹⁰0 per cent but the most impressive thing over all its davids. Ability to be a complete artist musician singer despite of suffering some degree of schitzo rip. Such a wonderfull human beeing we love you we miss you.
Fame (fame) makes a man take things over Fame (fame) lets him lose hard to swallow Fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow Fame (fame) Fame not your brain it's just the flame That puts your change to keep you sane (sane) Fame (fame) Fame (fame) what you like is in the limo Fame (fame) what you get is no tomorrow Fame (fame) what you need you have to borrow Fame (fame) Fame nein it's mine is just his line To bind our time it drives you to crime (crime) Fame (fame) Could it be the best could it be? Really be really babe Could it be my babe could it babe? Could it babe could it babe? Is it any wonder I reject you first Fame (fame) fame fame Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool Fame (fame) Fame bully for you chilly for me Got to get a rain check on pain (Pain) Fame Fame fame fame fame fame Fame fame fame fame fame Fame fame fame fame fame Fame fame fame fame fame Fame fame fame Fame What's your name? What's your name? What's your name?... Feeling so gay.
Never tire of this little groove...Mr Bowie and Mr Lennon telling how it is kiddos....stay in school, get a job that will get you into Heaven..don’t sell your soul to the dark side. Fame ain’t what it’s cracked up to be.
Fame, it's an illusion, it's untangible yet addictive, here today gone tomorrow. A roller coaster not everyone can handle. Where mumble jumbo makes sense and up to the spectator's interpretation...but what a cool song
I love this song. ever since I heard it on the radio in 1975 when I was 12 years old and when I went out in brought in the same day I heard it way way back in 1975-😁😁
Pinky: you hitting these curbs too fast you need to slow this mother f**ka down! Limo driver: yea whatever mother f**ker! Pinky after that: don't move! Ill blow you're god damn head smooth off! Back up! Slowly! Who sent you nicca?! Say it again! Lol!
David Bowie was the first white artist to perform on Soul Train.He performed this song.👍👍👍
He wasn’t the first, but he was one of the first. And, I believe he also performed Golden Years on Soul Train.
It was golden years. Man this song would've been badass on soul trian! 😪
Excellent work.

It's actually a duet, John helped write it and he also sings half the song, they alternate lines and verses.

This is REAL important stuff, not the vapid minutia it seems to be.

A really creative, wonderful composition by David Bowie and it's underrated. We miss David RIP
Thank you for making this!
Greatest song ever by a glam rocker. Bowie and his manager made millions.

BECAUSE GOD LOVE THE CHILDREN IN YEMEN TOO....NEVER LET CHILDREN BE MALNOURISHED
This song was what got him invited to Soul Train ❤️
This beat and tune is just NASTY... Not many "artists", now days could come anywhere close to doing something like this...
We all miss him so very much!
Which one? JK...
I thought David would live forever, I guess his music does.
To this day I’ve always been trying to decipher what these lyrics mean.
Just boogie and Don't think about it

Fame (fame) makes a man take things over

Fame not your brain it's just the flame
That puts your change to keep you sane (sane)

Fame (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame (fame) what you need you have to borrow
Fame (fame)
Fame nein it's mine is just his line
To bind our time it drives you to crime (crime)
Fame (fame)
Could it be the best could it be?
Really be really babe

Nunca deja de sorprender el maestro inglés.
If I remember correctly, that's John Lennon playing guitar and helping out on the backing vocals.
Never tire of this little groove...Mr Bowie and Mr Lennon telling how it is kiddos....stay in school, get a job that will get you into Heaven..don’t sell your soul to the dark side. Fame ain’t what it’s cracked up to be.
If I were to introduce someone to David Bowie, it would be this song.
Thanks for the video! Well done! :)
this is about Bowies Manager who ripped Bowie off because Bowie had been doing Cocaine and woke up one day realizing he had no money ,
The song is about the insignificance of management. Period.
@@SquawYakallday it's about hos personal experience with his own crooked manager period
Very cool song cool artist!
Who else is here from pinky on friday after next?
