that's David Sanborn on sax and Luther Vandross did the vocal arrangements and background singing. Vandross gave Bowie credit for his first big break. The entire album is from his R&B/Funk phase. Every song on the album is incredibly amazing! And this was his first album using Carlos Alomar on guitar. Alomar played guitar on more Bowie's albums than any other guitarist. Alomar was the guitarist with The Apollo's house band. Great great album!
David Sandborn on sax, who the world just lost back in May. Yeah, this track is a great torrent of images, and the performance from everyone top-to-bottom is fantastic.
@@bobwoolerOriGinal I know the video version is shorter, but it actually captures Bowie's vocals better...through the video itself. Watching him contort his facial features to reach the notes he does gives me goosebumps every time!
"Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry?" -- "Young Americans" (1975) was the first song in what I like to call Bowie's "American" trilogy, along with "This Is Not America" (1985) and "I'm Afraid of Americans" (1997). Bowie also covered Simon & Garfunkel's "America" in the concerts following the 9/11 attacks on New York. I read a story a few years back about how from time to time in the late nineties Bowie would cook dinner for the firefighters at his local firehouse in New York to show them some appreciation for their service and that many of those firefighters were lost on 9/11 adding to the feeling of his performance of "Heroes" during those concerts. I don't know if the story is true or not, but if it was true, Bowie rocked! RIP.
YES. That passage is crazy. Hey, Bowie took this album's musicians and singers from local American talent. Luther Vandross is here of course, leading on the vocal arrangement, but also newcomer singers like Ava Cherry, who had a thing with Bowie for a while. IF you want to see Bowie and Vandross collaborating on arrangements, check out the video of "Right", also from Young Americans, that includes studio footage.. You can see it on the video " NACHO'S 45th ANNIVERSARY RIGHT REDUX " Anyway, SO glad you checked this one out! He's in my top five
Check out "Changes" and he did a great duet with Mick Jagger called "Dancing in the Street." I SAW David Bowie IN CONCERT in the 70s. Great performer. RIP DAVID.
David Bowie was simply brilliant. So creative and always pushing the boundries. Absolutely Love some of his works, yet really dislike others, but that OK. This song is one that I like very much. He was one of a kind. RIP💔
People hear some of Ziggy and "Space Oddity" and they think they know Bowie. He was all over the place, really trying to find a new groove. Outrageous! This whole album is sick. The title track, "Right", "Fascination", "Win", so many tracks that just leave me slack-jawed and awed. Keep going!
What David deemed "Plastic Soul" his nod to his stay in Philly. Philadelphia International Records... Huff and Gamble, and the philly soul/r&b acoming out of there at the times.
Almost all his stuff is great. He had a thing about making each record with a different artistic approach. He would have a concept and would bring in musicians and producers to achieve it. All his 70’s stuff is good and several 80’s albums as well.
For Bowie soul and funk: Try ALL cuts from Bowie's Young Americans album with Luther Vandross back-up singers to die for and David Sanborn on killer alto saxophone, like Somebody Up There Likes Me, Win, Fascination, Right and Can You Hear Me. [Find Luther and David both on Dick Cavett talk-show video.clip..also see TH-cam video of Soul Train with Bowie doing Fame and Golden Years singles] ...Also guitarist Carlos Alomar funk on Secret Life of Arabia (Heroes album). … Sample his Let’s Dance album produced by Chic’s Nile Rogers (all good!). From Station to Station album: Stay. Also, Black Tie, White Noise with Al B. Sure.…Tonight with Tina Turner (also with him in one of her concert videos on TH-cam)... Knock on Wood and Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (Ohio Players) (from David Live in Philadelphia (extended version), 1975). “1984” (from Diamond Dogs album. Reminds me of “Shaft.” Later recorded by Tina Turner on her Private Dancer album)...from the soundtrack to the kids' film, Labyrinth: “Underground” (w/ Black choir) and “Magic Dance.” A friend of the Black community -Bowie complained to MTV about Black videos being relegated to early morning broadcasts.

This has a strangely muted sound to my ears. Dunno why, it ain't Steely Dan, it's the always mysterious Bowie. Seems simple on the surface. It's a dance song, right? 🤔🤯 ✌🏼😉🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
You've given David Bowie more reactions than most people and you react to the sweet spots in each song . Thank you for everything you're doing!
💙💙🙏🏿🙏🏿

David Bowie entire life was a piece of art. I hope you will react to his singing the song ….Wild Is The Wind…. His vocals are amazing.
*the album version, NOT the single/video version
@@bobwoolerOriGinal I know the video version is shorter, but it actually captures Bowie's vocals better...through the video itself. Watching him contort his facial features to reach the notes he does gives me goosebumps every time!
His greatest vocal performance in my opinion.

One of my favourite Bowie tracks, it's just a great tune, great lyrics and beautifully performed and mixed.
When you have Ava Cherry and Luther Vandrosz as backing vocalists you can't lose.
Truly. Dude was one in a million artist. And he kept surrounding himself with other one in a million artists. Killer.

Right is my favourite track from this album...so underrated.
@@scoobyblue5300 agreed!
Check out "Changes" and he did a great duet with Mick Jagger called "Dancing in the Street." I SAW David Bowie IN CONCERT in the 70s. Great performer. RIP DAVID.
This album was everywhere back in the day. David’s Philly days, brilliant ✨
Cool 'nod' the the Beatles where they sing "I heard the news today. oh boy" from 'A Day in the Life'
Recorded at Sigma Sound in Philly. Pimp got a Caddy lady got a Chrysler.
One of my very favorite songs from all times, thanks Biz!

This album marked Dennis Davis drumming debut with Bowie.
This is fun Bowie song. Best to way to describe it. It's just fun and it makes you smile.
You sound just like most of us singing along with David Bowie.
I suggest you do the song "Station to Station". And "Blue Jean" Blue Jean has a great live video on TH-cam from a MTV special. Look that one up.
Bowie baby!

Are we really that old?
What David deemed "Plastic Soul" his nod to his stay in Philly. Philadelphia International Records... Huff and Gamble, and the philly soul/r&b acoming out of there at the times.
Ain't there one damn song that can make me....a prime example of what makes rock and roll beautiful ❤
Almost all his stuff is great.
He had a thing about making each record with a different artistic approach.
He would have a concept and would bring in musicians and producers to achieve it.
All his 70’s stuff is good and several 80’s albums as well.
That whole album is pure philly soul.
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎😍thank you
Liked that one didn't you Biz? Awesome!

🎶prodigal son 🎵🎶🎷🎸🥁
You gonna love this one too
Keep the good work Biz 👏 🙌 👍 👌 💪🏻 ✨️
Valid
Try "Win" and "Right" from this album for more of his groovy soul tracks!
That chorus wants you to stand on your feet!
Luther Vandross (and others) on backing vocals!
Man could Bowie compose a song.
Incredible isn't it? It was 1975, and I was 16. Imagine that when you were a teenager?
Frenchman, here.
"France sucks", eh ?...
You're lucky you are a Bowie fan, I was about to block your channel until kingdom comes just because of your comment about my country 😛 !
No bad feelings, though : I'll be back for your next Bowie reaction ! Take care !
A young Luther Vandross on backing vocals. You really need to watch the video to this please?
This has a strangely muted sound to my ears.
Dunno why, it ain't Steely Dan, it's the always mysterious Bowie. Seems simple on the surface. It's a dance song, right? 🤔🤯
✌🏼😉🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
Mr Diversity
EVERYYYYBODY FORGETS THE BEST, ELTONNNN! LOL😊I DON'T KNOW WHY, THEY JUST DO! 😮
Maybe because Elton John is overrated garbage?
You should definitely check out Bowie's Metal band Tin Machine!
