June 28, 1975 –
David Bowie released the song, Fame, featuring John Lennon on backing vocals, on this date. It become Bowie’s first #1 hit in the US.
John Lennon helped write this song – he came up with the title and also sang the background Fame parts in the high voice. They started working on the song when Bowie invited Lennon to the studio, and Lennon played rhythm guitar on a jam session that resulted in this track. Bowie met Lennon less than a year earlier at a party thrown by Elizabeth Taylor. Lennon was one of Bowie’s idols, and they became good friends.
