David Bowie - Young Americans Until Silence on Heavenly in November ofDavid Bowie had dropped hints during the Diamond Dogs tour that he was moving toward R&B, but the full blown blue eyed soul of Young Americans came as a shock. Surrounding himself with first rate sessionmen, Bowie comes up with a set of songs that approximate the sound of Philly soul and disco, yet remain detached from their inspirations; even at his most passionate, Bowie sounds like a commentator, as if the entire album was a genre exercise.
