"Golden Years" is a song by the English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records on 21 November 1975 as the lead single from his tenth studio album Station to Station (1976). Partially written before Bowie began shooting for the film The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), the song was mostly compiled in the studio and was the first track completed for the album. Co-produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, recording took place at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles during September 1975. Due to Bowie's heavy cocaine use, he later recalled remembering almost nothing of Station to Station's production. Musically, "Golden Years" is a funk and disco song that is reminiscent of the music on Bowie's previous album, Young Americans (1975), particularly "Fame", but with a harsher, grinding edge. The song utilises elements of several 1950s doo-wop tracks in its arrangement. Lyrically, the narrator offers a companion hope of entering a limousine and being isolated from the outside world. In other words, he assures his companion that she will always be protected by him and promises her a brighter future. "Golden Years" has been viewed positively by music critics and biographers, who have highlighted its composition. Bowie preceded its release by miming the song on Soul Train, where he appeared incoherent. Upon release, the song was a commercial success, peaking at number eight in the UK and number ten in the US. The song was rarely played throughout Bowie's 1976 Isolar tour but regularly on other tours. "Golden Years" has appeared on lists of Bowie's best songs and has been included on various compilation albums, covered by numerous artists and made appearances in several films and soundtracks, including A Knight's Tale (2001), which featured a new remix by Bowie's longtime collaborator Tony Visconti. On 4 November 1975, Bowie appeared on the American television show Soul Train, miming "Fame" and the then-unreleased "Golden Years". Bowie was the second white artist to appear on the programme, after Elton John six months earlier. During the performance and interview, he was visibly intoxicated and, according to Pegg, was at a "new low in coherency". Bowie later felt ashamed for his behaviour, recalling in 1999 that he had failed to learn "Golden Years" and was scolded afterwards by the show's DJ. Spitz describes the appearance as "canny" and "awkward", while O'Leary calls it Bowie's "loneliest, saddest television appearance". The resulting film clip was used as the song's unofficial music video for promotion worldwide. Like "Rebel Rebel" in relation to Diamond Dogs (1974), "Golden Years" was a somewhat unrepresentative teaser for the then-upcoming album. RCA released "Golden Years" as the lead single from Station to Station on 21 November 1975, while the album was still being finished. Its B-side was the Young Americans track "Can You Hear Me?" with the catalogue number was RCA 2640; it featured a length of 3:30. The song subsequently appeared as the second track on Station to Station, between the title track and "Word on a Wing", running 4:03 minutes. According to Pegg, the single version is "essentially" the album version with an earlier fade. The song would later appear as the B-side of fellow Station to Station track "Wild Is the Wind" in November 1981. An updated single version of "Golden Years" was released in 2011 to coincide with the re-release of Station to Station. Four new remixes were provided by DJs from radio station KCRW in California. Following "Fame", "Golden Years" continued Bowie's commercial success. In the UK, where it quickly followed the chart-topping "Space Oddity" reissue, the single peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for 10 weeks. In the US, it charted for 16 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number 10, also peaking at number 12 on the Cash Box Top 100.] The song further peaked at number 17 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart, number 34 on the Australian Kent Music Report, and number 18 on the New Zealand Listener chart. Following Bowie's death in 2016, the song charted in numerous countries, including in France (193) and Belgium Wallonia region alongside scoring top-10 positions in Belgium Flanders region (10, Sweden (10), Ireland (9), and the Netherlands (6).
