David Bowie, was a force of nature. Utterly brilliant, no one like him. Glad you like it Jovaughn.

[@pseudoism]

He will always be a force of nature, he’s eternal…

[@Codex7777]

David had an incredible voice but what made it unique was not his beautiful tone, nor his 4 octave range, it was his ability to drip character and emotion from every single syllable! :)

[@willblood7082]

Saxophonist is David Sandborn. Extremely well known musician… one of the most influential in his day 🔥🔥

[@dannycasson1551]

I forgot about that. I’ve seen Sandborn several times in concert. great musician.

[@biff9999]

No "d" in his last name, guys. David Sanborn.

Apparently not so influential that people remember how to spell his name.

John Lennon played with Bowie on a couple of songs, and co-wrote Fame with him. They were good friends.

[@garyscarlett5471]

John was in on one recording of this song , was crazy hearing Lennon singing on it

[@drawden]

I guess that explains why "I heard the news today oh boy!" is in this?

@@kdphotos4691 backing vocals instead of a choir... Article online: "Vandross, Cherry and Clark would turn out to be one of the driving forces on the album, frequently taking the lead vocal role and allowing Bowie to slip into the background for the very first time. Indeed, it was Vandross who came up with the chorus for ‘Young Americans’. As the singer recalled in 1987, he approached Clark during a session and said: “What if there was a phrase that went, ‘Young American, young American, he was the young American - all right!’ Now, when ‘all right’ comes up, jump over me and go into harmony.” Bowie apparently overheard the conversation and ran with the idea."

[@blitztim6416]

I’m proud of you for catching that Beatles reference.

[@charlesbarton3032]

Yes we were spoiled we grew up with some of the best music ever made but I'm glad younger people are keeping it alive man

[@neilsmith9066]

Bowie was absolute Magic his whole career up until the end. It makes me sad thinking he will never see a person on Mars but it makes me happy knowing that he has helped many many people coping with everyday life

Young Americans is my favorite Bowie album. Not a bad song on the album. "Young Americans is the ninth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 7 March 1975 by RCA Records. The album marked a departure from the glam rock style of Bowie's previous albums, showcasing his interest in soul and R&B."

[@richardjustice1717]

The legendary Luther Vandross is one of the backup singers.

I was lucky enough to see David Bowie in concert in the 70’s, the greatest music event I have ever gone to, and I have seen quite a few live performances by some iconic performers.

[@davidfisher8821]

This album has several amazing songs, fascination, win, somebody up there , and of course fame… all worth a listen, you’ll love them!

Welcome back J!!! Bowie's "Changes" and "China Girl" are next for you!

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Louder Jay, always, louder!

[@Impcoins]

This album was recorded in Philly, my birth place. I also saw rhis tour. It was Dacid Sandborn on the Sax. The line I heard the news today oh boy. Was a nod to John Lennon who worked with Bowie on the album and even co-wrote Fame and helped David do a cover of the Beatles song, Across the Universe.

[@hah424]

David Sanborn is the saxophonist who does the solo. ♥️

[@toddmercure9745]

Such a great icon! David Bowie is stellar! How about Heroes? Or anything else! Duets with Bing Crosby or Freddie Mercury. He was just amazing!

[@corinnewilkes5837]

I grew up listening to Bowie from a very young age. There was and never will be anyone quite like him. He has also influenced so many talented artists.

[@KTRS]

Bowie’s one of the biggest chameleons in pop music - so many styles, so many genres, so eclectic. One of the true geniuses.

[@louhillen8254]

The wonderful Luther Vandross doing backing vocals before he went solo! One of my fave Bowie albums :-)

[@donnawallace9938]

This is one of my favorite Bowie songs. His voice is magic! And the sax....is amazing!

[@DanieVargas]

You’re killing me dude…LMAO!! David Bowie did ask John Lennon if he could use that line in the song….

[@dagmar.6954]

Another great artist I grew up with. David Bowie was an English singer-songwriter & actor. He constantly reinvented himself to stay current over nearly 5 decades. His first big hit was "Space Oddity" in 1969. He has had a lot of great songs including "Starman", "Ziggy Stardust", "Rebel Rebel", "Young Americans", "Changes", "Fame", "Golden Years", "Ashes To Ashes", "Under Pressure", Let's Dance", "Modern Love", "China Girl", "Heroes" etc.

[@Sunny-tv5dm]

One of my all-time favourite David Bowie's songs. The great Luther Vandross is doing background vocals on the track too!

[@TheoZoffrok]

I believe Luther V actually did the vocal arrangements, as well as leading the backing singers.

[@that70slifetimetravel]

I'm 65-years-old, but my mind sure doesn't feel like it is. I came of age in the 70s and I have owned everything David Bowie released on every format. Started cranking up the 8-tracks in my cars in the early 70s! He's always been my favorite and I love almost everything coming out of that era- I even call the 70s decade the "Golden Years" in honor of his song. This particular song, Young Americans" has withstood the years for me and with me. If I had to pick one song for the top (impossible), this would be it! A LITTLE TRIVIA--> Not once in this song will you hear "Young Americans". It's always "Young American". I really appreciate your reaction to this one! THANKS! 😀🤟 💛

[@RonnieT44]

Bought this single, when it was first released, and still have the original vinyl. My favourite Bowie song!!

[@atlasking6110]

"Ain't there one damn song that can make me - break down and cry-y!" One of the greatest moments in rock history right there.

[@jaquettajones]

Bowie was definitely an evolving artist (in an era when artists were allowed to evolve)

[@carollittle1059]

David Bowie was the master of reinventing himself and his music, A true Icon!!

Try "Jean Genie", "Suffragette City", "Changes", and "Diamond Dogs". There are many more to chose from but those were the first that I thought of.

[@Jillyconjem]

My favorite Bowie album is Lodger. Two hits from that are “Boys Keep Swinging” and “DJ”. He performed “Boys Keep Swinging” when he appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1979. He did “TVC15” and “The Man Who Sold the World” also during that appearance. Krause Nomi and Joey Arias were amazing. Another side of Bowie you should see. 💜

[@sbollin4321]

To say David was a changeling would be an almost limiting “description” of his talent. 1970’s David Bowie was my personal favorite but you just can’t put the man who said he was “an actor playing a rock star” in a box.

[@taniaPBear]

One of my favourites for sure, so much going on in this song, and he does so many incredible things with his voice. Doesn't really matter what you do next of his, it will always be different, and it will always be great. Loved this, thank you.

[@sundromos9456]

His vocals on this song are seriously underrated. And it was an experiment on his part...he was a true artist, pushing his boundaries, exploring new directions moment by moment. It's a pleasure to be reminded of the pleasure it was to be following those "changes."

[@lemurvision]

Around this time Bowie decided that soul music from the US was going to be the future. And then his next albums ended up being very European, but that's Bowie for you.

[@Beatles.lassie]

My favourite on that album is “Win.” It even pulls me out of an anxiety attack. X

[@WineSippingCowboy]

The most popular live version is from The Dick Cavett Show. You will see a 20 something Luther Vandross as 1 of the backing singers. Mother of Slash was in charge of the wardrobe. Philadelphia soul inspired David Bowie. It also inspired Hall and Oates.

[@clareparfittwinchester5244]

David Bowie, as a songwriter, shares a thing with Bob Dylan (wherever you place them on the scale of talent, and personally I'd put David not too much beneath Bob, as if anyone even comes close to Dylan): they both were/are able totally to imagine and inhabit the thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears of characters outside themselves. I think that's rare. Many revered singer-songwriters (James Taylor, Carole King) draw on their own experiences. Bowie is able to invent a character and see through that person's eyes.

[@thepepperpot3809]

I was 6 years old when this came out. I liked the music and singing very much at the time, but didn't understand the lyrics. I do now! He'd been a really big fan of the US as a child in the UK, and the reality of what the place was actually like hit him hard when he could finally come here, which informs the lyrics to this song. If you ever read about just how personally fucked up he was between 1974 - 1977, the caliber of his work is truly amazing.
