I was not familiar with Ferry also.

Luck day - Solved it with no mistakes. Being a young adult in the 70s really helped.

I didn't fail Connections but I had a hard time solving. I had one guess left.

Bryan formed Roxy Music in 1970 and became their lead singer and songwriter. Continued with them after branching out as a solo artist in 1973. He, and the band, were very successful. He is a prolific songwriter; a very talented man. Moving on... The term 'brass neck' is quite common here. Someone who is full of confidence, and a pain in the neck. 🙄 e.g. He had the brass neck to tell me that my strategy for tackling Strands is wrong, when I've been doing it for months always getting the Spangram first, and never using hints!!!

Bryan Ferry was a solo singer in the 70s.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Lead singer of Roxy Music

[@sambright3719]

​@@Joe-lb8qn He formed what became the very successful Roxy Music in 1970 and was lead singer. In 1973, whilst remaining in RM, he started a very successful solo career. This continued until he disbanded the group in 1983, and he carried on solo. Not just a singer, but a talented songwriter too.

I didn't listen to Rock Music in the 70s. Too old. Funny, because you said you were too young, but you did know 3 of them. I made 1 error trying to group the spinning items. However, I did solve this puzzle in ascending order, so I netted a 7. 😊

BTW, "Chutzpah" is a Yiddish word. It drops the "c" and rhymes with "foots" for the first syllable. The second syllable sounds like "paw." The accent is on the first syllable. Hope this helps. Probably easier to just Google the pronunciation.

You're right, chutzpah is Yiddish. It means nerve, gall, audacity. The "c" is silent and the "h" is pronounced like the "h" in Hanukah. It's that guttural, clearing of the throat sound that doesn't exist in English.
