When David Bowie died I put on my red shoes 👠👠👠 and danced for him

[@Pntngbrn]

I like that

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

That other higher pitched "Fame" is John Lennon.

[@spankywzl]

John also got a songwriting credit, too.

[@scottselinsky892]

Not too many people know that.

[@scottselinsky892]

that was John singing that part,

[@AdamCSmith]

Rebecca! Love your VH II avatar! Keep Rock Alive!! 🤘🏽🖤🔥🙌🏼 ℁

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

@@AdamCSmith Got to! Loved them from day 1!!! ❤🤍🖤

[@Manders13]

Jayy, this is a long, deep rabbithole!! I'd definitely suggest "Young American" next if you like his groove - his career spanned decades, and he's sorely missed. Bowie's work is so varied; take a listen to just a few: "Rebel Rebel," "Modern Love," "Let's Dance," "Life On Mars," "Heroes," "Changes," ... the list goes on!!

[@Tampahop]

And albums like Scary Monsters and Low!!!! :)

[@Sarvasaha]

..and Golden Years

[@Fightingforthelost]

"Sweet Thing is actually one of my favs of his just for the vocals alone. Also, "Space Oddity".

[@the_judge_8262]

Young Luther Vandross on the backing vocals of Young Americans 👍🏼👍🏼

[@808Bear]

Hi Amanda, Cygnet Committee is my all time favourite Bowie song.

[@darrylblanch8463]

I worked for him in Adelaide. He was 1 of the few performers I have met that dispite his extravagance, he was soo down to earth that off stage he was a regular guy

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Jayy girl-Hey! Please react Davids “Let’s Dance.”'and “China Girl”‘ is great too ! It’s pronounced Bo-E- like bow tie -❤️💫✌️

[@GuillermoQuezada]

There will never be another one like David Bowie. Before he died, he once said "I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring". Please react to Heroes, Ashes To Ashes or to Let's Dance.

[@pennyantewest]

David Bowie's Fame has been sampled 29 times so I'm sure you've heard it before.

[@chrismeadows4216]

Even Dr. Dre sampled it.

[@stevenwheat3621]

@@chrismeadows4216 A decent try on a song that can't be duplicated.

[@joedec]

Jay Z sampled it for Takeover, his diss aimed at Nas.

[@billfeeney8898]

It was interesting to see him perform this song on Soul Train. He's a musical chameleon.

[@MilosDaddy]

Indeed he is!!

[@primeminister66]

That was a disaster lol....audio off and everything but I digress....this is one of the funkiest rock songs of all time if that makes any sense...also Public Enemy sampled this on Night of the Living baseheads

[@muriel2267]

Anything from his Ziggy Stardust days would be greatly appreciated 😊♥️

[@firkin1024]

Rock & Roll suicide is a classic

[@user-DJDreamworld]

I think you would like Golden years also

[@dannycasson1551]

There’s no doubt you’ve heard some of his material here and there. Why? Because the man is an Icon. A Legend. A shape shifter. A chameleon. No two songs sound alike. ❤️🎶🎵

[@virginiaaguilar3648]

That’s John Lennon singing the background

[@kraig7777]

The title song: Young Americans!

[@superstrigoi]

RIP David Bowie. He is sorely missed. Enjoy the ride!

[@gilhodges2025]

Wrote this song with John Lennon who plays guitar and backing vocals. Especially the middle third of the "Hey" bit

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

This came out when I was 7 and it is still one of the funkiest beats ever imo. Love it! ❤

[@JF-Sebastian]

I think you would really enjoy Wild is the Wind by David Bowie.

[@joannedungan8381]

Omg you need to do fashion and golden years. Oh and dance magic dance from the labyrinth

[@virginiaaguilar3648]

This is one of all time favorites since I was a little girl. Listen to another song by David Bowie named Let’s Dance. I so miss him Rest In Peace 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ogmandog]

Jayy...you gatta check out Golden Years😏

[@debjorgo]

Golden Years is the other funky song from David. My favorite songs from him are Ashes to Ashes, Modern Love and The Man Who Sold the World (cover by Nirvana is great too).

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

the whole Young Americans album and many parts in Station To Station are funk/soul

[@debjorgo]

@@JulioLeonFandinho The whole album is not funk/soul. That's two completely different styles of music. The Young Americans album is R&B, Soul influenced Rock. The only song I remember on the album with any funk sound to it is Fame.

[@eviekelpie1]

Funny I just mentioned Nirvana before reading your comment. Nirvana does a great job with, The man who sold the world

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@debjorgo funk and soul aren't completely different styles, they are completely related, James Brown invented funk as a variation of the soul music he was doing in the 50s, usually considered as rythm and blues, because it was bluesy but with a strong sense of rythm and dancing. I'm calling it 'soul' although the name wasn't being used in the 50s, but you can't deny that artists like James Brown or Jackie Wilson were doing soul, with another name, in the beginning. And then Brown created funk, which is soul music with a less melodic element and a more simplified song structure... Taking this in consideration, it's impossible to deny that what Bowie was playing was soul/funk, because it had elements from those styles, although never applied in a purist way, because Bowie was playing his own version of soul/funk

[@debjorgo]

@@JulioLeonFandinho I agree with most of what you're saying except your conclusion about Young Americans. Take the song Young Americans. There is no 'chunka chunka' funk sound to it at all. It is all smooth r&b pop. I haven't listened to the album for a while. What other song on the album do you say is funky?

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

Space Oddity was early 70's and about an astronaut in that space race but such a good song of his to try out.

[@eviekelpie1]

Actually, 1969...yeah he's a music has been around for a long long time

[@robertkill9886]

Bowie is a Legend! I love him so much. Jayy next t could you react to Picture of you by The Cure (live in Berlin) Thanks. Cheers

[@christinawoolley6206]

In a documentary about him, he said that the goal was for r&b but in a new way. I think, mission accomplished! Oh, that's John Lennon on harmonies! 😽

[@dbradx]

Great song choice - like others have said, the Bowie rabbit hole is deep indeed, and full of incredible music. 'Young Americans' is a definite must, and for more of a sleeper hit, 'Cat People (Putting Out Fire)' is awesome. Happy New Year!

[@MoonChild-1994]

Cool! Let's Dance is my fave by Bowie.

[@maryannc6313]

Bowie was constantly evolving and growing. I saw him twice live and his shows were as much about performance art as music. Some suggestions: All the Young Dudes, Space Oddity, Suffragette City, Changes. There's also a really fun video of David and Mick Jagger doing Dancing in the Street. Enjoy the Bowie rabbit hole!

[@ceciliajones7816]

He gave All The Young Dudes to Mot the Hoople trying to keep them from breaking up. That’s another band she should listen to!

[@supasoulproductions]

It is actually ex-Beatle John Lennon helping on the backing vocals on this track. The squeeky high fame voive at the end where it starts real high and goes low had some tape speed manipulation involved. You would def enjoy the title track of the album this comes from. It is called 'Young Americans'

[@markbishopmusic]

This song was a conscious attempt to be played in the height of disco. Almost rap-like. Golden years has the same vibe, but much better musically. John Lennon collaborated with this and Young Americans, and may be the falsetto, I'm not positive.

[@starry2006]

Never liked this song, a lot of commentators and people in threads seen cautious about criticising Bowie like they are worried about a backlash. I hate that kind of thing around music.

[@thomassanfrancisco5850]

He was pretty good in the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth."

[@ronalddobis6782]

John Lennon was one of the co-writers and does the back up "fame"s. He also plays one of the guitar parts.

[@stevenwheat3621]

The high pitch "Fame" was actually John Lennon from the Beatles singing.. Consider Golden Years.. Groovy as hell!

[@mikecaetano]

Just to show how deep the Bowie rabbit hole goes, here's another list of bangers from him that others overlooked: "Starman", "Sound and Vision", "1984", "Queen Bitch", "Andy Warhol", "This Is Not America", "I'm Afraid Of Americans", "Moonage Daydream", "Soul Love", "Panic in Detroit", "Lazarus" ...

[@betsyduane3461]

John Lennon on backing vocals

[@Terri6868]

Love Bowie♥️Next- Changes, Hero’s, Blue Jean. 👍

[@bjhellstream]

Loads of great soul/funk musicians playing here. Luther Vandross was one of the background singers. Musicians from Sly and the Family Stone, Isley Brothers, James Brown and more played on the album. And John Lennon was on this.

[@nikkiharris6091]

I have always loved this song, the beat is off the chain. My friend use to sing day, I said it's fame not day.😂😂. Good pick hon 👍💞

[@kristinewatson3702]

A true unique! I loved this man. Totally worth a deep dive.

[@hennywortman228]

Bowie was legendary. Know his music for years, all started with Space oddety, still love to here it today

[@RETNASCANZ]

Some of my favorite David Bowie Songs are: Moonage Daydream, Let's Dance, Modern Love, Space Oddity...

[@bobbyboko6317]

Nothing Bowie couldn't do

[@julilla1]

Great song! Glad you enjoyed it. You might have heard that beat before, I know it's been sampled quite a bit.

[@johnmikelson2187]

Picture dozens of teens dancing on roller skates about 1975

[@catenystrom6506]

I'm a HUUUUUUGE Bowie fan, saw him live 5 times, front row twice, met him once. He was a true artist, a genius. I'll miss him forever.

[@timothymunger3186]

The whole Ziggy Stardust album is great, and who can forget Diamond Dogs.

[@rob7953]

"Fashion" is another ultra-funky Bowie tune.

[@hongfang2508]

John Lennon is singing backup and (as I recall) co-wrote this song with Bowie

[@zigman63]

My absolute hero. 57 now and still bopping to Bowie.

[@delorespetree207]

I never listen to David bowie interesting

[@lavoisiercrevecooeur6794]

That makes you a loser, you must be proud

[@arome7047]

Great song, great artist. Would loves to hear reaction to Heroes, Ashes to Ashes, Look Back in Anger and/or Wild is the Wind

[@jefflyons3667]

Pinky in "Next Friday" LOL

[@marygaczewski5334]

I haven't heard this in awhile I'm adding to my playlist

[@michaelgrabner8977]

After that song EVERYBODY should listen to James Brown´s track "Hot, I need to be loved, loved, loved". J.Brown the godfather of Soul and Funk "stole" David Bowie´s funky groove of "Fame". BUT did David Bowie sue James Brown? No, on the contrary he was highly flattered. That is in my view respect of an artist with legend status for an other artist with legend status acknowledging who "invented Funk" in the first place. Unthinkable in the money greedy times of today´s music business.

[@catenystrom6506]

Everyone always reacts to "Space Oddity", but I always loved his song "Starman" better, and nobody EVER reacts to that song, fyi.

[@cityhonors1]

My essential Roller Skating song. Shout Out to John Lennon on backing vocals. One of my favorite Bowie songs is John (I'm Only Dancing). He even made a Disco Remix of Only Dancing. ☺️🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny

[@chrismeadows4216]

It's only right that you react to the b-side Right. It's an incredible song. Very funky. I also personally recommend you check out the songs All the Madmen from 1970 and As the World Falls Down from 1986. You'll hear some music on both sides of what you've heard that way. Each album is quite incredible, and you'll get a different sound on them all. There are around 30. I'm glad you've decided to check David Bowie out.

[@strawberryeyes3496]

Try Absolute Beginners and As the world Falls down, both were written for films - Absolute Beginners and Labyrinth, respectively.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

"Young Americans," "Modern Love," "Space Oddity," "Let's Dance," anything from the Earthling album would be a totally new reaction because nobody ever does more than his classics. But the best is "Life On Mars"--the video with his shocking orange hair tuft and light blue leisure suit and some of the most amazing makeup ever put on a human. The song is emotional and beautiful, and he is visually striking with the same beauty and finesse. He funks, he rocks, he grooves, he jams, and he even bops. I don't believe in UFOs, but i'm positive Bowie was extra-terrestrial. Or super-terrestrial. His mind and his heart will win you over. And his next-level fashion/style sense shifts with his moods, so you kinda get an all-in-one experience. :)

[@stevenmurano7863]

this was from the Young Americans album.....what bowie called his 'plastic soul' phase. plastic my ass. INCREDIBLE album. This and the title cut were hits, but, check out the whole album . it is fantastic, start to finish. if i was going to suggest one song i'd say Fascination. that was one that Luther vandross brought down, bowie rewrote the lyrics and they recorded it. incredibly good.

[@Banyandio]

Starman is another great one from Bowie! So many great songs, though!

[@doplinger1]

I’m not a big Bowie fan, but I think they would tell you is not very representative of his body of work. He has lots of good stuff, but he’s very eclectic and ever-evolving.

[@robertnahum5823]

John Lennon is the 2nd voice. ✌🏾

[@Rosiepooh75]

check out "space oddyssy", "let's dance" and "china girl" :-)

[@neilmartin99]

Not exactly my favorite period for Bowie's music but any Bowie is good Bowie.

[@cspringer333]

Check out Bowie's movie "The Man That Fell To Earth". I think it is on Neflix or Prime right now but have seen it on Roku too.

[@hexus358]

Man, I watched that years ago and I'm still confused... 😅

[@Jillyconjem]

That was my first R rated movie I saw... with my parents. 😳 Glad I saw it then, but with my parents was a huge mistake. Huge! 🤣

[@frankiebowie6174]

This is funky, chunky and gorgeous. A real classic dance number.

[@lgk4008]

Bow-eee

[@jchow5966]

He wrote this with John Lennon who is in the backgrpund. They knew a lot about fame.

[@mattkess3156]

“That like a sounded like somebody different” *John Lennon has entered the chat*

[@lesliesylvan]

Sly and the Family Stone feel to it. Soooo good. And so versatile; always with a tight-tight band.

[@illmade2]

When god sings it would sound like David Bowie, listen to "putting out fire" aka theme to Cat people.

[@andythrush3341]

Saw David perform "Diamond Dog" he never wanted to repeat himself. Even though you knew his voice, his music was different everytime. That is what the great ones do. Its called ART:-) He was an artist for sure.

[@chrismeadows4216]

Young Americans as an album was David's take on soul and funk music. This song is on the funk end. The other voice was John Lennon from The Beatles, who also played the acoustic chords at the beginning. The other songs on the album have Luther Vandross and Robin Clark on backing vocals, besides Across the Universe, which is a cover of The Beatles and also has John Lennon on rhythm guitar and backing vocals. At this point, you probably realize exactly how big David had to be considering the people he was working with. I'm looking forward to more. Excellent reaction! 🙂

[@susanfigueroa872]

My hubby just bought me his the last album he recorded before he died. I became a fan of his in the 70s when he invented his alter ego, Iggy Stardust. I used to dress like him, hairstyle and all when I went to see him in concert or I should say concerts! Unbelievable talent! I cried when he died, still haven't quite got over his loss.

[@ymrabc]

You’ve got a long journey to go on here hun, always new, always different and never boring. Bowie’s is a legend and there’s nobody like him.

[@jonlaroche5239]

I remember seeing this song on Soullllll Train...lol

[@deggsymarley]

If more Bowie start early see how he changes styles over the golden years

[@darrylblanch8463]

Ziggy Stardust a very out there look & video

[@kennethspears22]

[@martinsmusic1724]

You should listen to 'Let's Dance'

[@royaltracy1598]

[@rjaraneta913]

That other voice is John Lennon, who co-wrote the song.

[@w5winston]

John Lennon is the other vocal (good ear)

[@davidvornsand6054]

Fifty years David Bowie has been part of the soundtrack of my life! Never a dull moment and always a fresh perspective. Enjoy this particular rabbit hole!

[@chuckyoneil2853]

A Beatle wrote it with him,guess who.

[@pellonwraith]

Bowie, you have 30 odd years to choose from...all brilliant in there own way

[@sotanodrums]

He was just the best. You have a lot more to go through.

[@sfl4479]

Bowie LETS DANCE

[@dirckw9993]

davi bowie he be bad, just let him do his thang.check out his earlier work THE ALBUM ,called TH RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS. the songs, ZIGGY STARDUST, and SUFFRAJETTE CITY. peace to you girl.

[@joannparker1977]

Who you heard was The Beatles’ John Lennon. He co-wrote the song. And, David Bowie was way beyond famous when this song came out. Check out “Ziggy Stardust”. The song and the other songs on the album. A MUST: Play the video! When you do, you’ll understand why it’s important! OMG. Bowie. Rocks. p.s. Most of the comments are from people that are only familiar with his 80’s stuff. (“Young Americans” and “China Girl”) It’s the early stuff you should check out. Then, go forward and listen to his later stuff.

[@FaceBat]

The song was co-written with John Lennon, who also contributed backing vocals. Some Bowie recommendations: Space Oddity, All The Madmen; Life On Mars?; Soul Love; Lady Grinning Soul; Station To Station; Stay; Blackout; It's No Game (Part 1).

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

You pronounce his name perfectly :) BOH-ee. And the backing vocalist had some idea about the down side of fame... It was none other than a Mr John Lennon! Bowie's an absolute legend, and shifted between so many styles over his career. Here's small selection of goodies: "Space oddity", "Life on Mars", "Jean Genie", "Young Americans", "Golden years", "Heroes", "Sound and vision", "Let's dance", "Fashion", "I'm afraid of Americans".

[@ejcecil1305]

This song was produced was with JOHN LENNON with back round vocals by a yet to be discovered Luther Vandross. This is just the beginning of one of two singers to make a BILLION dollars in their career. David Bowie and Paul McCartney

[@lb8471]

Luther Vandross sand background for David Bowie. David Bowie was a HUGE advocate of Black music videos being shown on MTV back in the day. He was married to the beautiful Black model, Iman.

[@eviekelpie1]

David is my favourite male singer alongside John Lennon,(whom co wrote this song and is singing in the background). Most diverse singer/songwriter of my generation. If you like this best then try Young Americans, which also helped to launch the singing career of his male background singer, Luther Vandross. Other songs to " dip your toes in; Golden Years Heroes Changes Life on Mars Ziggy Stardust Sorrow Oh, I better stop. So much in my head to share with you. I own 11 of his LPs! Thanks hun❤️Thank you

[@colibri1]

If you've heard much other mid-1970s funk, that might explain where you've heard similar sounds before, since this song was recorded during a period in the mid-1970s when Bowie was really obsessed with emulating US funk.

[@johnheppenstall4904]

Bowie's guitarist, Carlos Alomar, 'nicked' a refrain from Footstompin', they worked it into this groove. John Lennon also gets a credit for apparently shouting something like 'fame' during the recording. Check out the Young Americans album (or better yet, Ghouster) for more soul-like gems.

[@bobschenkel7921]

The Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust, The Man Who Sold The World, or even his real name, David Jones. No matter what you call him David Bowie (RIP) was a ROCK STAR, and he knew all the ups and downs, the rapid rises and the pitfalls of Fame. But while he was here he made a lot of great music with a lot of great musicians from all over the world. Also, he married a Super Model named Iman. Hey like I said, he's was a ROCK STAR.

[@jathygamer8746]

My fave Bowie song! Great react! Your background reminds me of the video for John Lennon's "Mind Games" when he's walking thru Central Park 🎧 💓 🎶

[@crsounddoctor4937]

David Bowie's "FAME" is an absolute funky vibe that is "Lit" and it is pure FIRE!!! Back in the day when this first came out, all of the dance floors were full of people jammin' to this nasty beat!!!
