UK FAME SINGLE IS FIFTY TODAY - READ JASON DRAPER’S SONG STORY

“Is it any wonder, you’re far too cool to fool...”

Released in early June 1975 in America, David Bowie’s first #1 in the country was the Bowie/Lennon/Alomar composition, Fame.

It didn’t fare quite so well in the UK, where it was released 50 years ago today, though it was still a top 20 hit. 

A side: Fame (Bowie/Lennon/Alomar)
B side: Right (Bowie) 
Original UK release date: July 18 1975
Highest chart position: UK: #17 US: #1
Originally appeared on: Young Americans
Produced by: David Bowie, Harry Maslin

Our good friend Jason Draper has written another of his informative and well-researched pieces titled: ‘Fame’: Behind The Bowie/Lennon Co-Write That Debunked The Myth Of Celebrity.

Jason describes the track thus: “A spur-of-the-moment recording with John Lennon, ‘Fame’ drew listeners in with its funky strut but carried a stark warning for anyone seeking the limelight.”

It really is worth a read, and you can find the full piece here: www.davidbowie.com/blog/2025/7/18/uk-fame-single-is-fifty-today-read-jason-drapers-song-story (Linktree in bio)
