''Young Americans'' is the eighth album by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1975.
With this LP, Bowie made a sudden and jolting step in a new direction, shedding his glam rock past and exploring Philadelphia soul with backing from a pre-fame Luther Vandross. ''Young Americans'' contained his first number one hit in the U.S., "Fame", co-written with John Lennon (who also contributed backing vocals), and work from Carlos Alomar, who would eventually work with Bowie on ten more studio albums.. - Wikipedia
