"Fame" was the title of a song by David Bowie, cowritten with John Lennon and Carlos Alomar. Released as a single in 1975 from the album Young Americans, it became the first of only two Bowie songs to reach #1 on the Billboard music charts (the second being 1983's "Let's Dance.")
No official video clip was made for 'Fame', but Bowie's performance on "Soul Train" has often been used as such. 'Fame' has found its way into the playlist of virtually every concert from 1976 onwards (except for the Tin Machine and 1.OUTSIDE tours).
