From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Fascination”
Song by David Bowie and Luther Vandross
Album	Young Americans
Released	1975
Writer	David Bowie Luther Vandross

"Fascination" is a song written by David Bowie and Luther Vandross for Bowie's Young Americans album in 1975. The song originated from a Vandross song called "Funky Music" which Mike Garson Band used to play before Bowie concerts in 1974. It also appeared in the Sound and Vision box set.

Though David has never actually performed this track in concert it was rehearsed as the potential opening song in David's set at the 1985 London Live Aid concert, though it was dropped in favour of the better known "TVC 15".
