Young Americans – U.S. TV Ad (1975)

David Bowie during the filming of the Young Americans TV commercial, Los Angeles, 1975, by Ellen Graham.

By popular request…

The U.S. TV advert for David Bowie’s 1975 masterpiece, “Young Americans”, featuring gorgeous footage of Bowie, perhaps at his most thin?

Anyone know anything about the filming of this? And more importantly, does anyone have a full length version??

For your viewing and listening pleasure, I’ve removed some snaps, crackles and pops, and synched a new audio track.

Hope you dig it!

Do me an’ yerself a favor – watch it in the Highest Def available with the sound UP LOUD!

If anyone has any other footage, or ideas for another video project, of material from Bowie’s classic period, do please get in touch: nachomarcho@gmail.com

Putting this video together was another huge labour of love, made with love and with respect for the source.

I don’t own the rights, and I’m not making any money out of this etc. Just a fan making videos for other fans.
