The rabbit hole of amazing songs is deep between Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry- Slave To Love, Kiss and Tell, Don't Stop the Dance, Love is the Drug. Ferry is the epitome of class and always looks GQ.

[@Isleofskye]

Virginia Plain :)

[@blundin4165]

As someone who is old enough to remember them through both the 70's and 80', I totally agree! Not to mention the BEST COVER OF OF ALL TIMES - Roxy Music taking on JOHN LENNON'S "JEALOUS GUY"..! ❤

[@martinsv9183]

I like "Right Stuff" also.

[@doplinger1]

Great album, "More Than This" is another great song on it.

[@maryedwards8307]

Absolutely 🇨🇦❤️

[@robertcraane7910]

@@maryedwards8307 He did that one already

[@dmac8949]

Great tune but let's do some really great Roxy Music...i.e. Out Of The Blue, Virginia Plain, Do The Strand, A Song For Europe, and so much really great Roxy Music, especially my all time favourite Roxy tune, Mother Of Pearl, not only the best Roxy tune but one of the greatest tunes of ever. Saw Roxy a few times way back in the day...Great band, great shows.

[@doplinger1]

@@dmac8949 - How about going back to "Love is the Drug"?

[@footienz]

Lets not forget Angel Eyes...

[@raeann63]

this is the title song from roxy music's final album. AVALON is the mythical realm of king arthur and the band wanted the LP to embody, reflect that ethereal, other-worldly feel. when this album was released in late '82 it's lush, romantic sound stunned the industry - a masterpiece ❤ if you want more romantic, suave roxy music try "oh yeah" and "same old scene" and bryan ferry's solo single "slave to love" - OMG so sultry!

[@itz.jxm3s_962]

My grandad was the sound engineer and recorder of roxies first self titled album.

[@bigneon_glitter]

"Sublime" is the word you're looking for. _Avalon_ is perfection, one of the best albums of the 1980s, & one of the best produced. The best part of this video is your seated dancing, with swaying similar to Bryan Ferry's moves. You're feeling it right. You can't go wrong with Roxy Music: "Dance Away" (1979) "Love Is The Drug" (1975) "Pyjamarama" (1974) Check out Bryan Ferry solo, he kept the vibe going: "Don't Stop The Dance" (1985) "Kiss & Tell" (1987)

[@itz.jxm3s_962]

My grandad was the sound engineer and recorder of their first self titled.

[@danno5662]

It is slicker than Teflon

[@ldemerson9718]

Bryan Ferry is the vocalist. You should try “Slave to Love” by him.

[@maxinezook3835]

I also recommend his solo song "Is Your Love Strong Enough?"

[@LadyNightsong]

@@maxinezook3835 yes!! So good 😎

[@eve7093]

Slave to love - The most sexy song ever written in my opinion

[@markmetcalf7582]

The lyrics to that song are amazing the opening lines Are as follows Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place With the tired and weary and theres no escape To need a woman you got to know how the strong get weak and the rich get poor

[@kbusby4824]

Great suggestion.

[@lattis8157]

Avalon is a mythical island from the legend of king Arthur. It's where the sword, Excalibur, was made. Basically it's talking about that dreamy place you go to when it's all quiet with someone special. A fantasy.

[@nickice7009]

Cool learn something new every day

[@biff9999]

Yeah, I remember when Toyota brought out the "Avalon", their very boring, dull-as-dishwater sedan, I thought, "Oh, man, c'mon! Does everything have to bow down to making a profit?" BTW, the answer is "yes", just in case you are still unsure of the answer to that question......

[@arcillasteehouwer48]

Nice piece of information. Thanks!

[@waxonwaxoff7344]

Mythical?

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

The female singer on backing vocals is Haitian singer Yanick Etienne . BTW - she is D'Mile's mother !

[@clashfan2875]

One of my all time favorite songs. Bryan Ferry is so smooth.🥰

[@nuimaleko7]

Avalon is one of my all time favorite albums. Released in 1982, the video is very 80s, but the music is timeless.

[@Freja1970]

U gotta hear the song " Oh Yeah " and " Jealous Guy" - also with Roxy Music !! Both are amazing songs ❤❤❤

[@Isleofskye]

Jealous Guy, obviously, being a John Lennon song...

[@davidlegaria]

"Oh yeah" by Roxy music is pure class.

[@devilvidel86]

he still has an amazing voice, managed to see him at the Royal Albert Hall in London in March 2020 just before we went into lockdown 😀

[@lynnestamey7272]

Lucky Sarah! I would love to see him!

[@devilvidel86]

@Lynne Stamey seen him recently too in Glasgow 😀

[@allencarlson6128]

I saw Brian Ferry at the Tabernacle a couple years ago. This guy does not hog the stage. Every musician in his band had a turn at the spotlight. I appreciated that a lot about him. No big-head.

[@schmindy7791]

One of my favourite albums! When this came out, me teenaged self swore I was going to name my daughter Avalon.💜

[@alisueblogs9029]

Check out Love Is The Drug and Dance Away. They also did a fantastic cover of John Lennons Jealous Guy - it's not often that I think covers are better than originals (especially when the Beatles are involved) but they pulled it off!

[@HappyAitch]

They certainly did, I much prefer the Roxy Music version

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🥰 I totally agree with you, way better than the original ❤️

[@laurentaylor2423]

Bryan Ferry - lead vocals, keyboards Andy Mackay - saxophone Phil Manzanera - guitar Neil Hubbard - guitar Alan Spenner - bass guitar Andy Newmark - drums Jimmy Maelen - percussion Fonzi Thornton - backing vocals Yanick Étienne - backing vocals

[@CBGB_1977]

Let’s not forget Brian Eno - Sound technician, keys, and reel to reel mixing. Mr. Eno was one of the original members of RM. Since his departure from the band in 1973, he’s enjoyed a successful solo career with his Ambient sound. Although my favorite albums is the first after his leaving Roxy. ‘Here Come the Warm Jets’ & ‘Taking Tiger Mountain’. Brian Eno is hailed as one of the best music producers. He’s produced records for: for Talking Heads, U2, Devo, Coldplay, Massive Attack, He’s worked musically with: David Bowie, Genesis, John Cale, amount others. *cool factoid: Eno created that little piece of music-….the sound of the Windows 95 start up. (That cool chime when you start up a windows pc)

[@LadyDoe17]

I came to say Brian Eno.

[@cadanrichards2615]

One of their best songs these guys had alot of hits so did Bryan Ferry and This is in the 1980s from 82. Avalon is a great album

[@dalebaker9109]

First heard Roxy Music in 72 age 9/10. Love them then and now, goodness this is one hell of a song. Your on a roll of fabulous music tonight Jay.

[@SPOPictures]

Avalon is a mystical, legendary place in the southwest of England. One of the biggest music festivals in the world takes place there every year. Glastonbury. More than 200,000 visitors go there and BeeGees, Rolling Stones etc etc.... everything that has rank and name in the music, appears there

[@bemused9522]

One of the best experiences in my life is that when I was in my 20s I got to see Bryan Ferry in concert, I believe he was in his early 50s then, but he still sent me head over heels. A fun early Roxy song is "Love is the drug". Completely different sound. Bryan Ferry is probably most famous for his song "Slave to Love", so if you haven't heard it, I would recommend it. Great reaction

[@emilybinder698]

I've been out of town dealing with a very sick dad and I really needed this tonight! Thank you ❤

[@parisbrat]

Hope you & your dad are okay. Peace to you & your family. ❤❤

[@alicemestria4373]

Your enthusiasm is so endearing ❤️ My mom took me to a Roxy Music concert when I was really young and I wasn’t quite sure what classy sexy music was but I found out right there 😂 after that I saw Mr. Ferry at a Festival in 2018 and I slow danced to this and it was fantastic to see all the really young people completely surrendered to him and slow dancing too and so surprised to witness that… something’s are just eternal and hit the right spot, no matter the generation Thank you for your reaction

I absolutely love this song...first heard it around 1988 when I was 16, just a beautiful song. "Oh Yeah" is another great one by Roxy Music :)

You've heard two 80s Roxy Music songs when their sound was different. You've got to do some of their earlier stuff from the 70s. They were a really influential group for New Wave and even punk. Here's five must-dos with their best performances: Love is the Drug: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYDHYqqfl7qjfqM In Every Dream Home a Heartache: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWaZdZSJdsqNnK8 Out of the Blue (Midnight Special): kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2KbonyhgJ6BbKs Editions of You (best live Roxy performance): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWfJd39jZsuWoqs Re-Make/Re-Model (punk from space vibes from 1972 debut album): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn3Sm2SDl7GmaZo

"Avalon" is a 1982 song by the English rock band Roxy Music. It was released as the second single from their album Avalon. The single, with its B-side, "Always Unknowing", charted at No. 13 in the UK.[1]

[@jad4680]

great reaction jayvee! "DANCE AWAY" or "THE SAME OLD SCENE" two of the best roxy music recordings ever ; )

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

I LOVVVVVVE Roxy Music (and Bryan Ferry). My favorite song is "More than this". I saw them in concert. They were great. ❤️❤️ When I was younger, I used to play this whole album over and over while I painted intricate pictures. It was the perfect backdrop for my creativity. ❤️

[@hattiecambridge7310]

Bryan Ferry sings covers of Bob Dylan's songs on his 2007 CD "Dylanesque". The CD is great. Ferry's amazing voice singing Dylan's amazing lyrics.

"Let's Stick Together" is a great, up, song. I crashed a wedding to dance to it once, back in my youth! Good times :)

[@noahholliday9761]

Yanick E'tienne was a Haitian singer they brought in for the background vocals on this track. Simply beautiful.

This is a style of sophisticated pop music that began in the UK in the mid 80s mixing elements of new wave, smooth jazz, soul and world music.

Roxy Music, A brilliant artist and influential music genre sort. It also brings back many nostalgic memories of the 80s, when I used to smoke weed with my father at an alarmingly young age 😯

This is another one of those songs I like to listen to in the dark and become totally immersed in the rhythm and smoothness. At the opposite end to this, I love the remix of Angel Eyes, it gets turned up loud and I can't keep still.👍😀📀🎶❤️

This is one of my favourite songs....thanks for playing it! Bryan Ferry was a huge style and music icon back in the day.

“Don’t stop the dance,” another great one by Roxy music.

[@kellysciortino2291]

I hit like even before watching the video. You should try The Style Council either Long Hot Summer or You're the Best Thing.

You should react to more Roxy Music such as Angel Eyes, Dance Away, Love is the Drug.

[@brynleylee889]

Excellent! Now you've had a taste (of their last album). It's time to strap in, go back in time and do a deep dive into all the early material that made them "never in doubt" inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Good places to begin: Out of the Blue, Mother of Pearl, Editions of You, Can't Let Go, In Every Dream Home a Heartache, Like a Hurricane (Neil Young cover), and the list goes on and on...

[@footienz]

So so underrated in the music world....every song of his is gold...pure gold

[@Cheryltwin2012]

"Avalon" is probably one of the best songs of the 80's---perfectly produced, perfectly performed and perfectly gorgeous in every way. I had the album back when it came out and I played it until it warped. This is such a beautiful song and the video isn't shabby either.

[@lesleywarnock228]

Ohhhhhhh my boyfriend Bryan Ferry 🖤🖤🖤 He just breathes...to me he is the perfect definition of sauve sophistication. All class. There are SO many Roxy Music songs to sit back and soothe your soul to. Oh Yeah Dance Away Same old Scene Angel Eyes His voice is just another level & sends me drifting away He's had my heart since I was 8 🖤🖤🖤

This song (and video) is so perfect and beautiful it can bring tears to my eyes. Check out Jealous Guy - it's a John Lennon cover but it's beautiful, way better than the original imo.

Avalon has been a personal favourite of mine for the very reason you pointed out, super smooth and chilled, another song worthy of a listen in DANCE AWAY but it has to be the full version to experience the sax work. Like people have already mentioned Roxy Music have a deep catalogue on very influential music dating right back to the early 70s.

[@robgrano6814]

One of the best records of the 80's -- absolutely solid from beginning to end with no mediocre tracks, and superbly recorded and mixed. Since you like this you should check out another 80's group with a somewhat similar feel -- The Blue Nile. Try "Tinseltown in the Rain," "The Downtown Lights," or "Let's Go Out Tonight."

[@lclark6854]

I used to sing Gaviscon (UK indigestion mixture) along to this and now I can't hear the song without thinking of that haha! Virginia Plain is a more upbeat song from their earlier career.

Hi Jay, great review!! And yeeeeah....you nailed it when you said "if your stressed, turn this song on" 😂 that's the essence of this song!! I'm telling you, it transports you to a mindset that I don't think any other song could!! Don't think so, listen to it on a loop for an hour and it just gets better when you close your eyes and let the music take control!! I'm 64 and it's still in my top 20 of all time!! 😂💯😎

Haitian singer Yanick Eteinne was the background vocalist. Sadly she passed away on March 30th of this year. She was in the studio recording something else, and Ferry heard her singing in the hallway, and asked her to sing on the track.

One of the greatest bands ever. So cool and decadent. Listen to Ladytron from their earlier days in the Early 70's. Back when they had Brian Eno on synthesizer. Also songs like Street Life and Out of the Blue. Bryan Ferry are still going strong. 76 years old and still touring with his band. Have also made a lot of great solo albums. Love This Island Earth. In 1999 he released As Time Goes By. Old classics in the Ferry Vibe
