"Young American" Women's V-Neck Striped Jersey

Ziggy Was Dead. Something Else Was Coming.

In August 1974, David Bowie walked into Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia and started recording the most unexpected album of his career. He had just killed Ziggy Stardust. Aladdin Sane was behind him. Diamond Dogs was barely out the door.

What came next was Young Americans — a full immersion in American soul and R&B. Bowie called it "plastic soul," which was his way of being self-deprecating about something genuinely extraordinary. The sessions featured a 22-year-old session singer named Luther Vandross on backing vocals. Carlos Alomar brought the rhythm section feel of Philly soul. John Lennon came by and co-wrote "Fame," which became Bowie's first #1 single in the United States.

The album is a document of a genius in mid-reinvention — borrowing a genre, transforming it, and making something that belonged entirely to him. That's what Bowie always did. This jersey is for the people who love that version of Bowie as much as any other.
