David Bowie - Young Americans: Wikipedia Album Entry


"Young Americans" is an album by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released in 1975.

With this LP, Bowie made a sudden and jolting step in a new direction, shedding his past and exploring Philadelphia with backing from a very young Luther Vandross. "Young Americans" contained his first number one hit in the US, "Fame", co-written with John Lennon (who also contributed backing vocals), and work from one of Bowie's favourite guitarists and band members, Carlos Alomar.

David Bowie - Across The Universe Lyrics

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

David Bowie - Can You Hear Me Lyrics

Once we were lovers, can they understand?
Closer than others, I was your, I was your man
Don't talk of heartaches, ooo, I remember them all
When I'm checking you out one day to see if I'm faking it all
