David Bowie - Young Americans

Staying on top is somehow impossible especially when marked a decade as the Beatles, Elton John, the Stones .... Although McCartney could not resist the easy, Lennon, unfortunately we do not know, and Harrison went down literally (those few lines make me wrong) ... David Bowie is no exception to the rule, even if every three or four years, the press goes into raptures over the release of her new CD lying areas Ziggy or Hunky Dory ; what they say, these CDs will never have the intensity , the relevance and the delight of his albums of the seventies ...

Seeking to liquidate Ziggy and Glam who lived three albums (Ziggy , Aladine Sane and Diamond Dogs ), Bowie had to change my skin. Its antennae had indicated to him that black music was moving toward the white audience. The disco was already sticking his nose, but David had the most sophisticated soul. He began turning Soul, revisiting its first directory in the Diamond Dogs tour the U.S. as evidenced by the album David Live , recorded in Philadelphia in July 74 (must be absolutely replay this album had a little to the hatch, stuck in a prolific discography, which Bowie raises her voice in tones of its natural soul rock composed changing Philly sound. Magic!).

Then came the album Young Americans soul recorded between August 1974 and January 75. Y oung Americans glam baffled his fans, but Bowie cleverly reprogrammed to a new destiny: the prophet. Is not that Bowie invented post-punk before punk?

Bowie was surrounded by a new team: the guitarists Earl Slick - who replaced Mick Ronson on the Diamond Dogs tour - and Carlos Alomar will become a true pillar of the Bowie Team and the young saxophonist David Sanborn. The icing on the cake, Lennon composed and played on a piece Fame to become the first No. 1 U.S. Charts in Bowie.

For now, Bowie passes Dick Cavett Show (Dick, who received the ironic Hendrix, Lennon, Harrison, Joplin etc..) And sang the title track of the album. The outlet is live, the black heart Sandborn and omnipresent. Bowie is about to conquer America when these brothers of glam - Marc Bolan, Roxy Music, Slade and others - do not succeed. Bowie has a sense of history.
