English rock band Mott the Hoople released albums throughout the early 1970s but failed to find commercial success. On the verge of breaking up, the band were encouraged by David Bowie to stay together. Bowie offered them "Suffragette City" from his then yet-to-be-released Ziggy Stardust album, which they turned it down. Bowie wrote the glam rock song "All the Young Dudes" for them, which became a huge commercial success in 1972. Bowie subsequently produced an album of the same name for them, which continued their success.
