  Fame (David Bowie song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the Young Americans sessions seemingly wrapped in late 1974, the material was delayed while Bowie extricated himself from his contract with manager Tony Defries.
Firstly a cover of The Beatles’ “Across the Universe” was recorded, then a new song called “Fame”, inspired by a guitar riff written by Alomar and with the title from Lennon.
An edited version of “Fame” was issued as the second single from the album, and shot to #1 in the American charts (ironically, a few months before a reissue of “Space Oddity” would give Bowie his first US #1 single).

 David Bowie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Bowie took full advantage of his increasingly hip media profile by embarking on a UK tour in which his outrageous costume, striking vocals and treasure trove of new material revealed the artist in full flow.
Bowie's popularity was as great as ever in the mid-70s when he effectively righted the wrongs of history by taking "Space Oddity" to number 1, six years after its initial UK chart entry.
During 1985, Bowie was chiefly in demand as a collaborator, first with the Pat Metheny Group on "This Is Not America" (from the movie The Falcon And The Snowman) and next with Mick Jagger on a reworking of Martha And The Vandellas' "Dancing In The Street" for Live Aid.

The song is driven by a slow acoustic guitar strum and has an eerie tension beneath the surface.
The song follows the bands progression, which is similar to that of many rock stars: Namely becoming conceited and driving the band apart.
This song was one of the ones Bowie recorded in Berlin with Brian Eno and has that "Berlin" feel to it that U2 would try to get for their Achtung Baby album.

 Music Preview: David Bowie's creative force has stretched his fame a long way   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
At this point, David Bowie may be best remembered for the role he first developed on 1972's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars," a decidedly British rock opera steeped in fatalism, decadence and science-fiction imagery that somehow stalled, despite its now-iconic status, at No. 75 here in the States.
Unless, of course, you're David Bowie, whose career since "Fame" has seen him flirting with mainstream acceptance while making his home on the fringes of popular culture, where his legacy has fueled young kooks from Kurt Cobain and Trent Reznor to Moby and Beck.
And that was a hit for Nirvana, not Bowie, whose own original recording of the song predated his first taste of fame in the States.
