"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".

Cover versions

* Fat Larry's Band – "Feel It" and "The Best of Fat Larry's Band" (1994)
* Old Nick Peterson - "King Of The World"

Fascination in popular culture

The song is played on the radio station Liberty Rock Radio, hosted by Bowie's friend Iggy Pop, on the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV
