David Bowie Fame

Decided to move onto a legend this time. May do more. Hope you enjoy.

[@MackeyDeez]

Let's not forget that it was this man who pushed for black music to be aired on MTV when it first debut.

[@MackeyDeez]

@deleting soon Don't know you tell me.

[@iaminsideyourhome69]

@Alain that's from when he got a little too into the character of the Thin White Duke

[@midapita]

Alain in his thin white duke character, he praised(?) Hitler.

[@sparkl3s229]

@GIL Favor what does that change?

[@zkrhmn]

@@midapita in that same interview after that he says it's "theatrics", but he spent the rest of his life denouncing what he said during that period

[@danielroque8504]

Homie was high!! But cat was fly!!

[@byronbenguche]

Now imagine it's 1975 and you're a 5 year old kid on the South Side of Chicago watching Soul Train and you see David Bowie and he's performing Fame and Golden Years on Soul Train after watching this you beg your older sister to buy you David Bowie's Station To Station album and she buys it yep David Bowie had me hook from day one and i have been a fan ever since.#RipStarman

[@fenwickism]

Like Michael Jackson's Thriller album. Everyone had Station to Sation.

[@sidian911]

lived almost the same scenario. but it was a baby sitter and i was 8..star man opened my mind and so did soul train for that matter. miss those times.

[@user-xr7vo7zz8r]

station to station .. the berlin coke shooting lp .. note title ... Here comes the train ..

[@John-vw3lr]

I can vaguely remember seeing footage of the 1975 Soul Train performance here in the UK and being stunned by it.

[@thebigwagyu]

Hell yeah

[@redhoodkasuo8230]

Bro the sheer swagger and charisma is of the charts look at that little dance in the start

[@AlBundy310]

The most pimpest, most diabolical beat and of course the man!

[@yodadback]

My dad and I watched this a few years ago on KZbin. One of his favorite performances since David was high as a kite on soul train during the height of his cocaine addiction. He gets down And boogies a bit in the begining. It's a bit out of his sober character. My dad thought it was pretty funny though. My dad passed away in October. This is a great trip down memory lane

[@ChicagoWind100]

Fun fact but David mentioned how terrified he was playing here so he drank before he got on stage so he was faded having a ball 😂🙏🏽

[@batman-cu1ep]

We wasn't on coke dude

[@Mark_Moody]

Love you ❤

[@aspiringladychef]

I wasn’t born in this era but my mom absolutely loved him because of his music and him pushing for black music to be played on MTV. This was one of her favorite performances of his.

[@ClearYourMindTravel]

I saw on an interview he did and he said he had a hard time lip syncing because he wasn't used to it. He's used to doing live performances.

[@Punisher316wct5150]

I would have to say you are right there. He looked rather awkward doing it. I was just surprised that it was on Soul Train. Thanks for your comment. Have a wonderful day.

[@ClearYourMindTravel]

@@Punisher316wct5150 Don Cornelius said that the live shows were rare because they were very expensive and grueling.

[@Punisher316wct5150]

@@ClearYourMindTravel Never would of thought that from a live show. Very interesting. Thanks.

[@ClearYourMindTravel]

[@devintariel3769]

@@Punisher316wct5150 You can actually damage delicate TV studio equipment if there is a live performance. Power surges, high volume damaging microphones. Once DI boxes started to be used by more musicians it became a lot easier.

[@devonrodriguez3668]

this song is going to be stuck in my head all day now.

[@antonigeli294]

Very innovative for the period. Like an alien playing funk disco electronic music from an UVO

[@martyslazenger935]

Innovative for any period

Yes!! 70's Soul Train is the best.. Afros and bellbottoms.

[@RVincents]

2024 still feeling the funk...

[@Knonnynonny]

Gosh, I so ADORE this wonderful man!!!!

[@yolondadouglas-english7370]

I remember this like it was yesterday.. I loved seeing David Bowie and Elton John on Soul Train.. I’m sure they both were on cloud nine being on Soul Train

[@thomashensley8986]

He low key looks like the comic book version of the joker

[@sukimala]

i didn’t even know this was david bowie i just know this song from next friday .. aowwww 🔥🔥👏🏽

[@janellarogers1117]

THIS WAS THE DAY BEFORE MY 4TH B-DAY WHEN IT AIRED! OML I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE OF 'SOUL TRAIN' ON NOVEMBER 4,1975!

[@trevissproson3166]

Brilliant song from a gentleman South London lad! Always missed! Uk fans ❤❤

[@Vek_Shorts]

The 1st White artist in soul train 😱

[@GrungeGod788]

Nah it was Elton John.

[@Patricia-so9rw]

​@@GrungeGod788 Yep!👍🏻

[@user-hq9hx1cf9y]

He was a very good artist and lots of soul.

[@Crissy991]

Lets not forget he was married to Iman the somolian super model too. he could not dance but was cute 😉 He hit that dip that's the Soul in him coming out 😂 Love him Rip

[@ericchristian6710]

I grew up with 70s music but it really took me till now to hear David Bowie and I've got an IQ anybody would be happy to have, I'm just not a genius like this guy

Kind of ironic how he’s singing about the weight of fame, while being affected by it, Cocaine.

[@Dynaman21]

I think he confessed to being high as a kite when he did this, since Soul Train was notoriously unfriendly to white artists. Him and Elton John were among the few able to pull it off.

[@tiffxyz2532]

Where did you hear that Soul Train was unfriendly to white artist? I never heard of that story.

[@MzShaybutta]

@@tiffxyz2532 Because it doesn't exist. Elton John and David Bowie were both notoriously outspoken about promoting black artist, because they loved our music, and unlike American white folks, actually performed it well.

[@ryzeup5654]

why are u people always trying to rewrite history

[@tannerlane9669]

Oh shut up 😂😂😂😂 black don’t have the resources to be mean to white artists

[@stormhawk3319]

Pity the backing vocalist (you know who) wasn’t onstage with him for this.

[@justinfremouw4325]

Lennon would have been dope to see here too

[@jimmullins1270]

I adore this song but I’ve never seen him perform the song very close to the original album recording. It appeared he was lip syncing in the first half of the vid :( rip Bowie!

just saying, its a compilation of videos if u hadnt noticed, thats why some of its distorted. Pretty annoying tbh, be better if the uploader posted a solid vid.
