Hot (I Need to Be Loved, Loved, Loved) "Hot (I Need To Be Loved, Loved, Loved, Loved)", is a funk song by James Brown. Released as a single in December 1975, it reached #31 on the R&B chart. It uses the main riff from the David Bowie song "Fame", released earlier the same year. (Guitarist Carlos Alomar, who created the borrowed riff and was a co-writer on "Fame", was briefly in James Brown's band in the late 1960s.) The song also appeared as the lead track on Brown's 1976 album Hot.
Golden Years (song) "Golden Years" is a song written and recorded by David Bowie in 1975. It was originally released in a shortened form as a single in November 1975, and in its full-length version in January the following year on the "Station to Station" album. It was the first track completed during the "Station to Station" sessions, a period when Bowie's cocaine addiction was at its peak. At one stage it was slated to be the album's title track.
