“Win”, the second track on Young Americans, epitomizes Bowie’s transition from glam rocker to soul crooner. After disbanding the Spiders from Mars in 1973, Bowie gradually moved to a more Philadelphia-inspired soul sound with 1974’s Diamond Dogs.
By the time he released 1974’s David Live and Young Americans the following year, he’d fully transformed into the originator of the “blue-eyed soul” sound. He even had a band of seasoned Philly players like Carlos Alomar, David Sanborn, Luther Vandross. The album also features cameos from John Lennon (guitar and vocals on “Fame” and “Across the Universe”).
