September 20, 1975 –
David Bowie’s Fame single hits #1 for two weeks on this date.
This was Bowie’s first big hit in America, and also his first to do better in the US than the UK. He had a few UK hits before this, including Rebel Rebel, Life On Mars, and Diamond Dogs. In one of Bowie’s first US TV appearances, he performed this on The Cher Show in 1975.
