In 1975, Bowie traded his glammed-out Ziggy Stardust persona for an album of what he called "plastic soul." Yet this R&B homage is one of his warmest, wildest tales, recorded in Philadelphia with a then-unknown Luther Vandross on backing vocals. "It's about a newlywed couple who don't know if they really like each other," Bowie said.
