#4 David Bowie - Win, 1975
This is my favorite track off Bowie's "Young Americans" (1975). It might be one of his most impassioned vocal performances, certainly among his earlier discography. The song begins with a mellow and blissed-out guitar montage featuring very soulful chords that introduce the verse groove. The horn parts, drenched in reverb and delay, drift across the sonic spectrum, creating a washed-out, "end of the night" feel. Then the backing vocals enter with an easy and dreamlike warmth.
