U Can Dance - DJ Hell Feat Bryan Ferry

BRYAN FERRY - You Can Dance (live version 2, Jools Holland Nov 2010)

Happy Birthday Bryan Ferry

BRYAN FERRY, CBE was born on 26th September 1945, Washington, County Durham, UK. Ferry formed Roxy Music with Graham Simpson, in November 1970. The line-up expanded to include saxophonist/oboist Andy Mackay and his acquaintance Brian Eno, who owned tape recorders and played Mackay's synthesiser. Other early members included timpanist Dexter Lloyd and ex-Nice guitarist David O'List, who were replaced respectively by Paul Thompson and Phil Manzanera before the band recorded its first album. (Early Peel sessions for UK radio station Radio 1 feature O'List's playing.

Roxy Music's first hit, "Virginia Plain", just missed topping the charts, and was followed up with several hit singles and albums, with Ferry as vocalist and occasional instrumentalist (he taught himself piano in his mid-twenties) and Eno contributing synthesiser backing.
