Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZfaq, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZfaq. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZfaq, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

David Bowie performed on Soul Train on November 4, 1975, to promote the Young American Album. There had never been a white solo artist who played on the show. He might have performed 'Fame'' from the album (I can't remember). But it was a deal in 1975. This hit crossed over to Soul and R&B radio and topped the rock charts too.

This was Bowie's "Plastic Soul" era. The title comes from Bowie's hat tip to Motown Records, whose slogan was "The Sound of Young America."

One of the backup singers on this song is a young Luther Vandross! He really got him his big break. He even did some of the vocal arrangements.

So glad you hit this song, it's one of my Bowie favorites. This entire album is dance oriented. Check out Fascination, Somebody Up There Likes Me, Can You Hear Me and the studio version of Fame (with John Lennon). Bowie started using Carlos Alomar on guitar on this album. Alomar was the guitarist of The Apollo house band and played on more Bowie albums than any other artist. A few other Bowie suggestions: Life On Mars, 5 Years, Suffragette City, Golden Years, Jean Genie, Rebel Rebel, Heroes, Under Pressure (with Queen), Fashion, Let's Dance... oh, there's so many more!

my buddies and I were horrified by this record and despised it for the disco feel it had. We were big hard rock and prog fans at the time, and loved Bowie's previous harder-edged material. Strange as hell - about a decade later, this album was one of my top favourite Bowie albums.

Create analysis, and I do absolutely love his vocal performance on this, it shows his flexibility. I wouldn't say he was rebuilding his career because he was so hot at the time, but he was always changing. Always changing. Kind of ironic given one of his earliest hit songs, which I hope you react to, Changes. It was a massive hit and it was on the radio all the time and I just know you'll love it.

You'd very likely enjoy his song LET'S DANCE which of course is a dance song, but be sure to listen to the full length version rather than the FM radio play version which cut a section of the instrumental segue. Great reaction btw. Love how you always go into the details and history of artists and songs.

@bryanCJC2105 7 ай бұрын

This is one of my favorite Bowie songs because of the R&B flavor of it. I don't think most of us analyzed lyrics the way young people do today. Hip-Hop has conditioned young people to analyze lyrics, since Hip Hop is more about lyrics than the music. Back then, it was kid of a luxury if we had access to the lyrics at all. If they weren't printed on the album sleeve, most of us would never know what the lyrics actually were until the Internet came along. Most of us were more interested in the music than the lyrics and knew every note of a song. We'd try to understand the lyrics but if we couldn't, it wasn't that big of a deal. The chorus and maybe a few lines was enough for most of us. When you're dancing or rocking out, it's the music that drove us. I'm still finding out what some of the songs from the 70s and 80s were actually about.

I watched an enjoyable documentary on the making on this album as Bowie infiltrated Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia. Those Phillie musicians didn't know what to make of this "skinny white cat with orange-red hair". But all the soul brothers ended up appreciating David's talent and the album "Young Americans" did very well in the US, peaking at #9 (#2 in the UK). The title track reached #28 on the US Hot 100, #18 in the UK.

David's albums Young Americans and Station to Staition are my two favorites. "Win", "Right" are perhaps two of my favorite songs in the world. However, "Stay", "TVC 15" and "Station to Station" are right there. Add "Word on a Wing" and "Wild is the Wind" make me confused as to what album I prefer. Add "Quicksand" and "The Bewley Brothers" from Hunky Dory and I don't know where my heart lies. Keep listening.

Bowie said at this time he wanted badly to be a Philadelphia-style soul singer, but that no matter how he tried, he was still a white Englishman. I think he did pretty damn well. You’ll have to get to ‘(The Rise and Fall Of) Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars’ sometime. I like “Hang On To Yourself”, but the next two tracks, “Ziggy Stardust” and “Suffragette City”, are glam rock classics too. Stevie Ray Vaughan is all over Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’ album. I saw Bowie on that tour in 1983, called “Serious Moonlight Tour”, in Austin. Bowie played guitar and saxophone. Thanks!

It's interesting that most young people seem to know and understand rap lyrics and can recite them much more than older vocal singing lyrics and can remember mostly the chorus rather than the entire song. I may be wrong, this is what I've experienced.

Bowie was obsessed with , maybe even was in love with America, at least before he moved here…when he was young he had a fascination with American football even, which , to this day is an odd thing for the soccer obsessed Brit’s & Europeans to have.

Or even yesterday?” Suicide: “Well, well, well, would you carry a razor. In case, just in case of depression?”

Bowie once said that he barely remembered 1975 at all... He was doing a lot of drugs then. The next 3 albums were done in Berlin, where he attempted to cut down on that shit. Though, based on one of those subsequent songs being about a TV that ate his girlfriend, I'm not sure he was all that successful at kicking the habit... but damn he was brilliant! ;-]

@hijikaelemenope3127 7 ай бұрын

Actually, the song you refer to (TVC15) comes from the next album (Station to Station) in '76, which was recorded in the US (L.A., I think). It's this particular album Bowie famously said he had no memory of recording, because of the drugs. And it's only after this album that he relocated to Europe (France first, then Berlin) to escape the toxic surrounding of his life in the US at this period. Oh, and TVC15 is based on a friend of David's dream : guy's name was Iggy Pop... Oh, and Station to Station is a masterpiece, from beginning to end !
