What was the name of the 1975 David Bowie album that includes the song 'Fame'?

The 1975 David Bowie album that includes the song “Fame” is Young Americans. It was Bowie’s ninth studio album and marked a striking shift from his earlier glam-rock sound toward soul, funk and R&B.

Bowie recorded much of Young Americans at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, beginning in August 1974, with further sessions in New York. The album was released by RCA Records on 7 March 1975. Its musicians included guitarist Carlos Alomar, drummer Andy Newmark, bassist Willie Weeks and backing vocalist Luther Vandross, then a rising young performer.

“Fame” was recorded in January 1975 at Electric Lady Studios in New York. Bowie developed the song with Carlos Alomar and John Lennon, who contributed vocals and received a co-writing credit. The track’s sharp funk groove and lyrics about the pressures and distortions of celebrity helped make it Bowie’s first US number-one single.

Station to Station is an especially tempting wrong answer because it followed Young Americans in 1976 and continued Bowie’s stylistic transformation. However, “Fame” belongs to Young Americans, whose title track and soul-influenced production define this important period.
