Bryan Ferry - If Not For You

[@31Alden]

Bryan Ferry: Understated elegance, elan, and talent. Everything he touches turns to gold in the musical sense.

[@lynnnewmark2603]

Indeed

[@peterguglietta5260]

Bryan Ferry does a great job of interpreting Dylan, and this is one of his best examples. Beautiful version of a beautiful song.

[@karendensmore8040]

That glance he makes toward his backup singer at the beginning...I can’t decide if he gives her a sincere smile of appreciation for the lovely singer she is, or is it just a furtive glance where he’s just making sure she’s in position and ready to sing. Her smile back at him is so bright and beautiful though.

[@barbrabass6903]

Wow, his passion is unbelievable. Nobody puts more passion into a song than Bryan Ferry💝

[@colingeddes2172]

I wud argue there r more singers that do, but what cant be disputed is that bryan ferry is class personified, his version of this cover song is majestic.

[@winstonmiller9649]

Yes, his passion is even more affecting because it's presentation is so subdued!! As it were, like the sun waiting behind clouds. You just know it there through implication, without you being seared by it's tremendous heat to prove point...

[@majjjajjja]

I think Brian Ferry makes every song beautiful. I saw him in concert many years ago.

[@ramzirihani9060]

Bryan Ferry is most suited to do a Dylan song. His soul is with it!

[@carlak1656]

The perfect cover! Anything that Bryan Ferry does is nothing less than amazing!😍

[@TheUpwardbound1]

Ferry is one the greatest of all time!

[@tomortale2333]

RITE ON...

[@patriciathewisher2315]

An utterly great cover of a great song. There’s nothing this ferryman can’t cover expertly.

[@vickifay]

Bryan can sing mary had a little lamb and he'd still get thumbs up from me.

[@krysy11]

He's still got it - I've loved him for over 40 years now and I saw him in Sydney with Roxy Music in the early 90's. They're back this month (Feb 2011) can't wait to go again

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Wow ten years later, just think what's happened in the time

[@Panzerfaust-ex9fm]

Jovenes talentos, Bryan, descubriendo grandísimos musicos jovenes. Grande Bryan!!

[@Stinkbug74]

Damn... I've always loved this guy for his style, voice & talent. This is a perfect example.

[@gru8th84]

damn I'm in tears... never thought much of him, and I might be the only person on the planet that prefers Dylan's version of Let's Stick Together to his. but damn... what an arrangement. what a perfomance. what feeling and dignity. it really made me think of the one I love. thank You for these tears and deep respect mr. Ferry

[@TracyLynnMcIntosh]

This guy.... Always there.... Makes my day... Makes me smile... If not for you......

[@chloeroberts8523]

tracy symington :This is simply Brian, a true genius,my older brother was into roxy'77,I was 4yrs old and loved sneaking into my brother,s room to listen,fantastic hear felt music that touches the soul!love it.thanks roxy.

[@gabrielekruger3896]

Bryan this song really is written for you !Thank YOU

[@frankygib]

I love this version. Bryan sings it well but spare a thought for the backing singer......Beautifully sung and note perfect harmony.

[@akolak284]

Sorry the backup singer does nothing for the song. Hardly realized she was there singing backup.

[@susanavalentincic1600]

[@malgorzatawojcik8203]

Bellissimo brano,, complimenti!

[@helenesteinberg7189]

So so perfect.yes if not for him! Such understated elegance!

[@annereid8901]

Bryan Ferry sounds like angels had a very late party and wanted to bestow their voice upon a human.

[@colingeddes2172]

The class of bryan ferry will never fade. What a version of a dylan song.

[@Didirock]

Great Bryan!!

[@nancycesarano5919]

Beautiful vocals and musicianship.

[@christineberning5927]

Well done love this song

[@madlove1581]

[@ChakaFerry]

THE ULTIMATE ... M A G I C Mr Ferry :-)

[@jaymcd8577]

fantastic rendition, Ferry is some composer.

[@cloudchaser07]

@excelerater Its a 1970 song on Bob dylan's Album New Morning.The song was covered by George Harrison for his 1970 solo album All Things Must Pass and by Bryan Ferry on his Dylan tribute album Dylanesque in 2007. Thanks

[@christreegarden6884]

Ein genialer Sänger, ein hammerharter Song. Schliesst die Augen und denkt an Liebe

[@PepperWhite62]

@Maccafan61 First concert I ever saw in my life 1975's Siren Tour when I was 13. Last Concert I have been to, 1999 House Of Blues Dylanesque Tour. If I ever grow up I'M going to be just like Bryan.

[@mariludiniz]

Happy Birthday Bryan!

[@hirdy6]

Class.

[@mariaantonietta5001]

Bryan I love you....sei bravissimo!

[@colinratford416]

Love it

[@tombraidersmith6517]

A lot of people forget George Harrison's the co writer RIP George 😥😢😪

[@neil03152]

No they don't. RIP George

[@thehal]

He didn’t co-write it, he covered it.

[@johnvallas4752]

Dylan wrote this. It’s from ‘New Morning’

[@topolovatulmic]

GREAT !

[@RoyMcCann-c7d]

Saw him and Roxy music a few times.

[@susanavalentincic1600]

No te olvidare nunca esa vos de otro mundo angelical

[@andrewc2491]

BEST song ever written by Mr. Zimmerman. Yeah yeah yeah...this is a cover, by someone who loves to cover, if only only for another. But if not for you...then....by who?

[@blauundweiss1957]

Wunderbar

[@frankfrischmuth6820]

Mr. "Dressman" Bryan Ferry Great!!!

[@noraeslar7254]

Alguién se vuelve loco por Bryan Ferry. A mi me encanta Slave to love and Jealous guy.

[@stevehortongothlindreiss3983]

Dear Stevie, "if not for you", I would never have fallen in love again! You make me so happy and I will always love you! Forever yours, your sweetheart 'Lindie.' XXX

[@mangojerry2330]

Steve & Steve "kiss and tell"

[@stevehortongothlindreiss3983]

Look carefully! Stevie and 'Lindie, Lindie and Stevie. Two people. Man and woman, one joint account. Very strange when you connect two, presented with one name, Two people in the picture. Put yourself in our place, then comment. Thnks. Steve

[@aizawabass]

NICE!!!

[@tomtd]

Tie from 1967. Cool.

[@TheLEJT1]

@Maccafan61 Love this! With me it's since I was 13 and 35 years!

[@tonywhite8875]

the frankie howerd comparison is very shrewd! and works both ways; frankie was a big puller when he was a young man ...

[@karmentxusagarnarodriguez2553]

Preciosa versión de Dylan,él es grande pero me quedo con Ferry😊😊😊😊

[@DianneClewes]

Imagine if he'd done this as a duet with Olivia Newton John.

[@jamesmacgillivray9607]

Excellent version. As good as George Harrison's one

[@alecspeer]

A sweet love song written by George Harrison and Bob Dylan. Wonderful version sung by Mr. Ferry. Another one from the pair is "I'd Have You Any Time".

[@maggiebryan2355]

Just dylan wrote gorege just covered it

[@alecspeer]

Wikipedia says I am mistaken and you are right! Bob Dylan wrote it. Interestingly, Bob and George sang it as a duet, live together. Video of that is here on KZbin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJvdhZlvd7t_iJY

[@cricketbat09]

He looks like the manager of a men's clothes shop. Suits you, sir.

[@MasterMuscle100]

Nice Bryan is doing a George Harrison cover.. Nicely played and different... Great tune!

what's that guitar player doing at 1:37 ?

[@MR-wy5vm]

Dunno, but the same thing is used on Jackson Brown's live version "Before the deluge" at 3.30 in. Another deep feeling song.

[@neuro518]

@@MR-wy5vm It appears to be some sort of wireless horseshoe shaped devise with a blue light on it. Two years later and still mystified.

[@nazaholicable]

I much prefer Barry Hay's 'live' version/recording.

[@MarkHower-ne5zc]

After all these years i realize Bryan does Bob better than Bob.

The backing singer is Me'sha Bryan (indeed, Bryan). It's a shame backing vocalists often remain anonymous.
