Fame wasn’t a cover of Footstompin. The riff was written later as an addition to the cover song. They took that riff and made Fame.

Considering how tyrannical James Brown was when it came to his music and band, I wouldn't blame the guy for not wanting him anywhere near the music.

Someone could probably make an argument that half of Bowie's discography is "stolen". He took heavy inspiration from a lot of different genres and artists and oftentimes would do his own version of a particular style. Young Americans, the album Fame is on, is probably the most egregious example with Bowie himself acknowledging that it was "plastic soul". It's still a damn good song.

@collinsmcrae

Жыл бұрын

No argument is being made here that he stole anything at all. The riff wasn't from the song "foot stomping", it's just what his guitar player came up with for their cover of the song. Bowie liked what he did and decided to use it as the backbone for an original, but it was all above board because the guitarist was working for him at the time. If anyone stole anything, it was clearly James Brown lol.

Wish the session tape for the song was "liberatted". It's quite hard to find any Bowie session to be traded - thought some did leak out. At least a bit of session talk from Bowie's cover of The Beatles "Across The Universe" did come out with John giving instructions to the band.

The Power of Inspiration 😊

Depends what you mean by steal? Bowie was a magpie. He stored ideas whether it was other peoples or even his own and then re used or re cycled them quite often years later into something that was totally his own and fitting for that particular time. That was his genius. He was a faker ( The clue is in the lyrics of one of his most famous songs 😉) but an extremely good and brilliant one. He also lived life to fit his own particular narrative to match any given time which is why his word or statements in interviews could never be trusted. As he once said in an interview it was his job to lie to us ( Which was probably the most truthful thing he ever said 😂 ) Would I have changed him in anyway? Not a chance! He was my rock / pop star fantasy who I willingly and knowingly totally bought in to. David Robert Jones provided me with the persona ( David Bowie ) to be able to do so. RIP David, you will be forever missed.

@Ruylopez778

I think it was actually pretty smart the way his career panned out. He wanted to write rock operas, so created the characters himself, and when he was tired of it, could shed them, for career longevity and to avoid feeling trapped creatively. It allowed him to stay ahead of trends. It also allowed him to distance his real self from his public persona, and even play on the fact that he was a chameleon - and once accepted as such, it made him more enigmatic, and thus more appealing. And that also meant he could playfully dismiss narratives or embellish them in interviews. I wonder how much of it was instinctive and how much of it was conscious, though. Certainly he's said that he put himself in difficult situations (like LA) in order to see the consequences, but then again maybe that wasn't a conscious choice at the time, but a realisation after leaving LA. I think it's interesting that he had this wild private life reputation, and yet seemingly raised Duncan (along with his nanny) and appeared a fairly diligent parent whenever talking about parenthood.

Nice!!! Love your channel. Keep going man

Magic Bus is certainly homage to Johnny Otis’s Hand Jive

Carlos alomar came up with the riff and John lennon kept saying aim later changed to fame by bowie

This guy is amazing. He knows more about music than I do about anything

All I can think of when I hear this song is skate videos. Skaters love this song for some reason.

That also sounds like the riff John Lennon used on his song “Clean up Time”

Great job on this! You're 100% accurate on the facts.

Foot Stoppin is in one of my favorite movies, the original John Waters version of Hairspray!

Its more of an evolution, as the music was fundamental different to the original song, it's and inspired idea that evolved into an original idea

There's so much drama and other often uncredited creators behind a typical 3 minute pop song. It's impressive.

At some point all new music is just going to be a remix of something that's already been made

I did a song by Dave Onuc with same bass lick before Fame came out. Blew my mind.

Well that riff certainly got around, And Bowie did steal it, pretty much all musicians steal from each other, anytime all the time.

Sounds like 'play that funky music white boys' and 'brick house' combined.

don't forget about "we want the funk"

In 1974, the year before Fame came out, Chick Corea's Return to Forever, featuring Al Di Meola on guitar, Stanley Clarke on bass & Lenny White on drums released "The Shadow of Lo" on the album "Where Have I Known You Before." Check out "Shadow" at the 5:36 mark. I love Bowie and Return to Forever. But, I don't know who did what first. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXuOpq2CnpPVfLQ.html

You seem to have misunderstood. The riff was created by Bowies guitarist and didn't exist in the song foot stomping. It was an addition that Bowies guitarist added when they would cover it, but they liked it so much that it was used in Fame. James Brown just straight up stole Bowies bands riff though.

Both were absolutely genius

Stealing is as old as music itself. From 17th century concertos where a couple of note changes here and there to one concerto would grant authorship to the composer. Scottish folk songs were passed from composer to composer who might just change the lyrics. Bowie often stated that he was a thief, 'StarMan' is basically a re-write of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow', 'Suffragette City' lifts the bass line directly from Jan & Dean's 'Surf City', 'Life On Mars' - 'My Way' etc etc

Peppers milk and grams of booger sugar does a body good...

You need to check copyright law for that period of time. Until sometime in the 70's or 80's you could copyright lyrics but not music. It's also a fact that many of the songs that were modified or covered in the late 50's and 60's were considered fair for public use because their origins weren't always clear. This was especially true of blues and jazz of the Mississippi Delta up to Memphis. Many were an expression of oppression

@collinsmcrae

Жыл бұрын

He didn't claim that Bowie stole it. It was a completely original riff that wasn't present in the original Foot Stomping. Using a riff your guitarist came up with in another song, is nowhere near copyright infringement just because it was played in the key a cover they did was in.

So how did vanilla ice get sued. If he stole it himself? That's like suing someone for stealing the car but you stole from your uncle.
