Thats cool but why didn't use JB's HOT ( I NEED TO BE LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED) instead of PAYBACK?

@pshark Good suggestion - but that would have almost too obvious..... maybe I'll try that some other time! Kudos for even knowing the history of this groove! Most people have no clue....... Kaspar

"Fame" was recorded Jan.'75 during Lennon's "Across The Universe" sessions, hence Lennon's collaboration (distorted answer riff). The earliest recorded version of Alomar's muted riff I found on a video of Bowie and his band doing a cover of The Flares' '61 hit "Footstompin'" on "The Dick Cavett Show" Dec/4/74 - and you are right, Alomar did play in JB's band around '68/'69, but to find out the exact moment Alomar came up with this classic riff we would have to ask Carlos himself...Kaspar Galli
