Young Americans, representing the zenith of Bowie’s influential soul period, contributed in no small measure to breaking white soul music into the mainstream. The album was, in theory, about "emotional drive," but came to represent much more than that, both upon its release and over time. Young Americans is Bowie’s vision of and reply to a wide swath of above-board and underground musical and socio-political influences, including soul music, politics, sex, drugs, dancing, and the cultural scenes of downtown New York and uptown Philadelphia. In addition to the album’s eight original tracks, including its #1 single “Fame” and rousing title track, the new edition’s CD features three bonus tracks and the DVD includes new audio mixes of the CD’s tracks by legendary producer Tony Visconti, as well as “Dick Cavett Show” performance and interview clips from 1974.
