Thank you to our supporter Gail H for this jazzy pick... I see why this was controversial but damn, that rhythm is SICK. His vocals matched with those backing singers is just great. That last note he hits.... so mournful and reminiscent. I love this mans work so much.

You might have missed the background singers referencing “A Day In The Life”…. “I read the news today, oh boy”.

@JB-Deadskins

David always surrounded himself with great musicians

@OnlyGoodMusic_

This is where Luther Vandross began his career

@indolentcheese

Bowie was always ahead of the curve. By the time the rest of the music industry caught up to where he was he had moved on to something else. Look at all his personifications; Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke etc. He never stopped experimenting, right up to the day he passed away. He knew his time on earth was fleeting so he didn't waste a moment of it. RIP David, You are & will be missed.

The ballad WIN from this album is perfection. Some of Bowie’s best lyrics ever about artistic integrity and spite of managers:)

@vincentvancraig

I read the news today, oh boy!!!!!......a bowie beatles homage...woot, woot!.....lastly, luther vandross et al on backing vocals this whole album: D

@marcbenjamin9436

Bowie had a lot like this… Fame, Golden Years, Suffragette City. So good.

@lamusiclover2264

Luther Vandross not only sang background here, he did the background vocal arrangements, as he did for many artists before he went solo.

@anthonymckeever6626

Its a much deeper song than your thoughts from the initial reaction. Its his impressionistic view of America as an Englishman. It covers the Watergate scandel, McCarthy witch hunts, civil rights movement, sex, race, and a tribute to the Beatles.

DAVID BOWIE LIVES

I love the part where the singers say"I heard the news today. Oh boy", taken from a Beatles song.

@smffeb58

You have no idea how many times over, and over one had to listen to this song to get all the lyrics. At 145 words per bar 😳😜 it was almost impossible, without using the liner notes, which was for the weak. 😅

@PanarchyInTheUK

The entire album is a gem. Check out his cover of The Beatle's Across The Universe.

That’s the great David Sanborn on the saxophone.

@ronaldyankovich8363

I was at his Diamond Dogs concert in 1974. "Young Americans " was his encore (this was prior to the song's release) and people BOOED!

@P.Galore

Bowie suggestions: "Rebel Never Gets Old" and " It's No Game Part 1"

I wish I could post pictures in the comments. When I used to live in Jersey City, New Jersey, seven years ago, they put up a new building and down one whole side of it was a photo of David Bowie and you couldn’t even see the windows, it was like a 10 story building. It was huge, I assume it’s still there. I couldn’t figure out if it was a painting or a tapestry because there has to be windows. It’s pretty cool. I walked past it twice a day going to and from work.
