Check out this retro Roxy Music classic:
Ferry has been lauded as an icon of sartorial cool. A former student of fine art, and as involved in the visual aspects of his work as he is in the composition and performance of the music, he has conceived some of the most original, controversial and critically applauded album sleeve artwork of the last four decades.
He came to prominence as the lead vocalist and principal songwriter with the glam art rock band Roxy Music achieving three no. 1 albums and 10 singles which reached the top10 in the UK between 1972 and 1982. Their singles included Virginia Plain, Street Life, Love is the Drug, Dance Away, Angel Eyes, Over You, Oh Yeah, Jealous Guy, Avalon and More Than This.
Timeless music
He began his solo career in 1973. Solo hits included A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall, Lets Stick Together and This Is Tomorrow. Ferry’s best-selling album Avalon (1982) saw further release of singles such as Slave to Love and Don’t Stop the Dance followed by the UK no. 1 album Boys and Girls in 1985. When his sales as a solo artist and as a member of Roxy Music are combined, he has sold over 30 million albums.
As an artist and musician he possesses the rare distinction of being regarded as both classic and timelessly contemporary – an accomplishment achieved by both his recordings with Roxy Music and the range and intensity of his solo albums.
This may be the last chance for South African fans to watch him live performing all his hits. The Bryan Ferry South Africa Tour 2019 is presented by Bok Radio and Channel 24. Another Big Concerts Experience.
