"Fame" is a song recorded by David Bowie, initially released in 1975 and in remixed versions, in 1990. With the Young Americans sessions mostly concluded in late 1974, the material was delayed while Bowie extricated himself from his contract with manager Tony DeFries. During this time he was staying in New York, and met John Lennon. The pair socialised and jammed together, which led to a one-day session at Electric Lady Studios in January 1975. There, Bowie contacted several members of his tour band. Firstly a cover of The Beatles "Across the Universe" was recorded. Then a new song called "Fame", inspired by "Walk On", from the Jackson Five''s "Going Back to Indiana" live album, and a guitar riff written by Carlos Alomar and with the title from Lennon, was then hurriedly developed by Bowie, and recorded. Both tracks were then added to the Young Americansalbum.
