David Bowie: "Golden Years" Single (1975)

David Bowie’s "Golden Years" backed with "Can You Hear Me", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by RCA Records (catalog number RCA 2640) on November 21, 1975, entering the UK Singles Chart on November 29, 1975, peaking at number 8 and charting for 10 weeks.

Partially written before Bowie began filming The Man Who Fell to Earth, it became the first track completed for the album Station to Station.

The song was reportedly written for Elvis Presley, who declined it. Bowie later recalled that Presley had heard the demos, as both were signed to RCA Records at the time.
