Alomar played on Bowie’s groundbreaking "Berlin Trilogy" of albums—Low (1977), "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger; he also co-wrote the Heroes track "The Secret Life of Arabia" and the Lodger track "DJ" with Bowie and Brian Eno.

In January 1975, Bowie and John Lennon recorded "Across the Universe" at Electric Lady Studios and from this session resulted the impromptu song "Fame"—which evolved from the guitar riff Alomar had originated for the song "Footstompin'" during the Philly Dogs shows.
