During this time, he was staying in New York City, where he met John Lennon. The pair jammed together, leading to a one - day session at Electric Lady Studios in January 1975. There, Carlos Alomar had developed a guitar riff for Bowie 's cover of `` Footstompin ' '' by the Flairs, which Bowie thought was `` a waste '' to give to a cover. Lennon, who was in the studio with them, sang `` aim '' over the riff, which Bowie turned into `` Fame '' and he thereafter wrote the rest of the lyrics to the song. Lennon 's voice is heard interjecting the falsetto `` Fame '' throughout the song. Bowie would later describe `` Fame '' as `` nasty, angry '', and fully admitted that it was written `` with a degree of malice '' aimed at the Mainman management group with whom he had been working at the time. In 1990, Bowie recalled the song as his `` least favourite track on the album '' and reflected : `` I 'd had very upsetting management problems and a lot of that was built into the song. I 've left all that behind me, now... I think fame itself is not a rewarding thing. The most you can say is that it gets you a seat in restaurants. '' Chart performance `` Fame '' became Bowie 's biggest hit to that point in the US. It was his first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as his first to break the top 10, but would only reach number 17 in the UK Singles Chart. Bowie would later claim that he had `` absolutely no idea '' that the song would do so well as a single, saying `` I would n't know how to pick a single if it hit me in the face. '' 1975 track listing `` Fame '' ( Bowie, Alomar, Lennon ) -- 3 : 30 `` Right '' ( Bowie ) -- 4 : 13 The alternate version of the single had `` Golden Years '' as the B - side. The Italian version of the single had `` Space Oddity '' as the B - side.

Bowie wanted to remix a successful American single for the tour and album release ; of the two options ( `` Let 's Dance '' and `` Fame '' ), `` Let 's Dance '' was simply too recent. Bowie liked the choice : `` It covers a lot of ground, Fame ; it stands up really well in time. It still sounds potent. It 's quite a nasty, angry little song. I quite like that.
