Fascination (David Bowie song) Fascination (David Bowie song) "Fascination" is a song written by English singer and songwriter David Bowie and American musician Luther Vandross for Bowie's "Young Americans" album in 1975. The song originated from a Vandross song called "Funky Music" which The Mike Garson Band used to play before Bowie concerts in 1974.

While Bowie never performed this track live in concert, it was rehearsed for potential inclusion in Bowie's set at the 1985 London Live
