When David Bowie released the second boxset in a career spanning history, Who Can I Be Now (1974-1976) in 2016, the set also included The Gouster. This album was never released but eventually came in out in a revised form as the Young Americans LP. The two albums share four tracks in common, all in alternate forms including the sax driven “Somebody Up There Likes Me”. It also contains the track of the same name as the boxset, a midtempo piano driven track with a lot of horns as well.
The Gouster contains two future singles. The first being “Young Americans” that brims with Philadelphia soul and the second being “John, I’m Only Dancing”. The disco soul number would eventually be released in 1979 in edited form. The version here clocks in at 7 minutes, a true disco dancefloor edit. Leaving off a few upbeat numbers from Young Americans, The Gouster is a slower take on what eventually would become a big album hit for Bowie in 1975.

Fascinating, the number of works Bowie did that I hadn’t known about. The song you’ve featured is good though without the vocal I don’t know that I’d immediately it as Bowie’s, though it does have some unmistakable qualities of his soul period.
