Regarded as one of glam rock's anthems, ‘All The Young Dudes’ originated after Bowie came into contact with Mott the Hoople's bassist Peter Watts and learned that the band was ready to split due to continued lack of commercial success. When the band rejected his first offer of a composition, ‘Suffragette City’ (which later appeared on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars), Bowie wrote ‘All the Young Dudes’ in short order especially for them, allegedly sitting cross-legged on the floor of a room in London's Regent Street, in front of the band's lead singer, Ian Hunter.
