Hot, the funk song by James Brown, uses the main riff from a David Bowie song initially released in what year?
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.
The Hearts Filthy Lesson "The Hearts Filthy Lesson" (no apostrophe in "Hearts" ["sic"] ) is a song by David Bowie, from his 1995 album "Outside", and issued as a single ahead of the album. It showcased Bowie's new, industrial-influenced sound. Lyrically, the single connects with the rest of the album, with Bowie offering a lament to "tyrannical futurist" Ramona A. Stone, a theme continued in subsequent songs. The song is also meant to confront Bowie's own perceptions about the ritual creation and degradation of art.
