It ain't him. That's Mott the Hoople, with Ian Hunter doing the singing and Spiders of Mars guitarist Mick Ronson. Bowie wrote All the Young Dudes for them, but did not perform it himself until years later.
Mott were a very grunge band 20 years before grunge, until Bowie got them into the charts. Ian Hunter's book Diary of a Rock'n'roll Star is a classic of sorts.
