“Golden Years” arrived at a moment when David Bowie was redefining what his plastic soul could become, but with a noticeable maturation of the energy he had crafted. Released as a single on November 21, 1975, ahead of the rest of Station to Station, “Golden Years” came during a moment of transition when it wasn’t certain that Bowie would even be the one to sing the recorded version. Elvis Presley was waiting in the background as a potential performer, yet Bowie’s own delivery ultimately made it a hit, sending it to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
