[@terryallen5328]

Whether fronting Roxy Music or doing his solo stuff, Bryan Ferry was pure class. As for Yannick she had the voice of an angel. RIP Yanick Etienne.

[@bobkennedy5585]

Yanick's voice is a massage for the soul.

[@nkosinathindlovu3059]

I wish she would cover Wordless Chorus by My Morning Jacket

[@susanavalentincic1600]

Tanta es una gallina cacareando,

[@susanavalentincic1600]

Quise decir Yanik

[@C_C-G]

Well said

[@dan69p]

We've lost a fantastic voice, rest in peace Yanick ☮️

[@Listermintsluesh]

Ahhhh the good old lp vinyl. One of my favourite LPs Avalon. !!!

[@klangley100]

so glad i grew up in the 70s and 80s. the most amazing music to ever grace the airwaves. but thats just one mans opinion. there was still room to experiment with songs and music now im afraid theres just no new thing under the sun. sorry, just an old guy missing his youth.

[@PVSector]

wow, her voice gives me goosebumps!

[@steelyman08]

Sheer magic! Great to see his smile while she's nailing it beautifully. What a special 4 and half minutes! Thank you.

[@annal1729]

Brings tears to my eyes watching and listening to this. One of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed. These 2 are magic together.

[@benlee1396]

Anna L , how come I share the same feeling that tears came from my eyes? especially that lady's voice! thanks for this great song. Ben Lee

[@JoergDelistat]

Brings tears to my eyes as well, tears of joy😘😊👍

[@gordonkawau8808]

Simply amazing wow

[@dennybarlau8065]

I choke up every time I listen to this

[@eugenejward8111]

These 2 are not backup singers on this one. They are front and center where they belong. They make this beautiful song even more special. BF smiling in approval is the proof.

[@jckirlan]

Holy man that background singer gave me chills. She was awesome. I felt Brian Ferry was the backup to her. Bravo who ever you are.

[@paultoth6391]

Yanick Etienne

[@inncogneato6341]

Brilliant!

[@stevebeal73]

I have only found this version today. What can I say about Yanick's voice? It is just so, so perfect in this song. Such a sad loss

[@sugardevil49]

You can see Bryan beaming from ear to ear when Yannick starts in with her thing. He knows. She is the goddess/angel that makes this song what it is. Fabulous !

[@paularnold1641]

agree 100%

[@wyverexx]

My one regret,not seeing' Roxy' Live!!!

[@nkosinathindlovu3059]

Me too! Bryan Ferry was in South Africa about 2 years ago and I didn't go, somehow 😢😢😢😢

[@jonathanrux6658]

My one regret,not seeing' Roxy' Live!!! yanick simply the best

[@carolinapopow1838]

so so romantic !

[@tantrictraveller1212]

the two singers whose voices channel the magic of Avalon are incredible - who are they?!?

[@AnnaKec]

+Yanick Etienne this is amazing but what I love the most is your performing on The Bete Noire Tour 1989(with Michelle Cobs and Ednah Hold ). The best Bryan Ferry concert ever :)))

[@tacey505]

ilove all music esp 60-70 rock. this one of my all time faves, and Ive heard a lot of music in 69 years

[@denisevargas8490]

A friend had turned me on to Roxy Music, I remember being on a MBTA bus. Not sure if it was on our way home from school in the late 70's or my maybe work in the 80's. Avalon will always remain one of my favorites. In 1995 I had this played as the last song at my wedding. It's as times as Avalon itself. )0(

[@JopiniStJopy]

Oh wow. Yeah, that's her all right. Beautiful. Nice.

[@demultiplexeur2]

Tout mon respect à ta famille Yannick.RIP.

[@dref40cc]

🥰😍...

[@gordonkawau8808]

That women's amazing

[@romano5497]

BTW who is the Bongo Player

[@eugenewardjr.3506]

Romano The very versatile Julia Thornton. She is in best known for her exceptional skill as a concert harpist. She's beautiful,talented but very down to earth. She accompanys BF on his solo tours usually playing the harp. They supposedly have been romantically involved for a long time.

[@stevesizmur8194]

seen them twice brilliant both times without Yanick though she is just awesome

[@sabiencarton9333]

😀

[@Alkmaar50]

Two people are clearly deaf!

[@elizanne6660]

Bryan, as sexy smooth as ever, but the voice is thinner...

[@milosjankovic6574]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@demultiplexeur2]

Merde.

[@marikadiamond4366]

Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful songs ever. Bryan and Yannick are masterful and the band musicians are amazing. I listen to AVALON many times daily!!!

[@RobinBoBobbin]

Every time I hear this song it makes me cry. I've always loved Bryan Ferry's music. All these many years and I finally see the face behind that female voice. Yanick Étienne.

[@KevinOwen]

After all these years I still listen to this song just to hear Yanick Etienne's smooth beautiful voice. Simply amazing.

[@danlandavazo1506]

Me too!

[@AVALONPOL]

R.I.P Yanick Etienne.You'll be always the best "Avalon" 😢😢😢🎤

[@darrendodd6674]

That smile from Ferry (3.37) sums up everything that is so special about this particular song - just amazing.

[@TheAncient11545]

He was smiling because of Zev Katz's beautiful bass line.

[@kodibassInsideoutboards]

Yanick,, Without her,, no Avalon! kodi

[@angelmush8603]

RIP Yannick.....god bless you..what an honour for you to of sang on stage with Brian...you absolutely was made for this part.. .may your voice be heard by the Angel's..

[@Albrecht777]

God, I didn't know that she passed away a month ago. I had hoped that she might have accompanied Roxy on their forthcoming tour, or at least at the London date. Her comments here on KZbin gain a new power due to her passing. Rest in peace, Yanick. Through your work, you are immortal. [Edit: Corrected mistype.]

[@hank1972]

NO NO NO. I had spoken to her a few on YT. She is a hero to me, and will forever be that to me.

[@jospinvanraat8730]

Dear me I didn't know that!! ❤R.I.P.🌹

[@anupiya]

What wonderful backing vocals. So sad to hear that she passed away. R.I.P.

[@DJGort]

An honour for *her*? She sang on the record, it was only right that they include her onstage. An honour for them that she attended.

[@ktpinnacle]

Real musicians, real instruments, angelic voices, warm melodies . . . what a concept.

[@palebeachbum]

You said it!

[@Telescope1994]

A concept buried deep down on earth nowdays unfortunately

[@eltrut474]

Yanick Etienne , sends shivers up your spine , well done!!!

[@YanickEtienne]

+E L Trut Thank you very much.

[@pamelasilver2622]

Yanick you are beyond incredible!!!!!

[@nicolagalloni7901]

queen??? :)

[@donhanlon7121]

Never in our lives will we hear music like this again!!!!!! Rest in Peace Yannick Etienne🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@kindanice101]

Every live video I have seen of this performance, Bryan just BEAMS when Yanick starts singing. Beautiful.

[@Ksvtjhyb7]

Leaves me breathless over n over yr after yr. Etienne divine woman. Ferry the real man

[@wandarussell5877]

This live performance of Avalon is the best of all that are out there. Yannick makes it; but also the pace, the professionalism of the line-up and how they pull the song together, and quite clearly the bonding between them, creates a relaxed and fabulous performance. Visually amazing too - no funky light show required. Even Ferry’s glittery jacket seems a perfect ingredient in a such sophisticated, slick, and seemingly effortless rendition. If my husband put a jacket like that on I’d ROFL, but Ferry simply looks cool. If I’d put a necklace on like the one the backing lady is wearing, I’d look totally ridiculous - but she looks cool. Sure, they’re on stage, but they work their collective appearance so well. They all look cool and sound wonderful. Great song!

[@andrewt6834]

In 1986 I was a metalhead. Boughtthe best of Roxy Music on a whim, and fell in love with this song. But especially for the backing singer extraordinary voice in the outro. For nearly 40 years I kept telling anyone who would listen this was the most angelic vocal performance I have ever heard. And I find this video in 2024. And from the comments I realise I am not the only one who feels the same way about THAT VOICE !! THAT VOICE. THIS SONG. NEVER BETTERED IN POP HISTORY.

[@KTR2020_1]

You can see how much the whole band is just beaming when Yanick sings. What a wonderful voice. Have loved this song from the first time I heard it back in 82. Where has all the time gone?

[@nickyG7515]

3:34 I love how Bryan smiles when that beautiful singer hits that high note!

[@edwardthorn5979]

Ferry knows. He's a perfectionist and his ears heard something wonderful.

[@YanickEtienne]

Thanks so much. Is it possible to send me a copy of the freeze shot at the start of this video? Much love.

[@benlee1396]

Yanick, yes, it's possible by using smartphone now after 8 years. wish you very well. Love you voice! ben lee 30/12/2017

[@stephenpeters2853]

Gosh, got a tingling spine here, love your voice.....👍🏽😍

[@mariomarciano4067]

Meravigliosa, straordinaria, voce unica

[@glassmanagementinc]

Yanick, you are an Angel. Bless you and thank you.

[@legallyblondeayr]

One of the most beautiful love songs ever written, viva roxy music!

[@C_C-G]

I came here in honour of Yanick Etienne’s passing,to see what she looked like, because I have always loved this song. Glad I did, because it’s wonderful to see how every band member respects each other. Bryan Ferry’s smile when she hits that high note says it all: priceless! I love how the voices and the various instruments complement each other and create such a dreamy atmosphere. For me personally, very special memories pop up every time I hear this song. I played it when my son was still a baby - he is now thirteen - I held him in my arms and we danced and danced… that look on his face, his smile, us looking into each other’s eyes… I guess every parent knows this feeling: unforgettable, magic! Thank you Roxy Music and Yanick Etienne, for giving me these moments I will forever cherish!

[@CEPAIVA]

Roxy Music is touring in 2022 ! Don't miss it ! RIP Yannick !

[@brycemills2787]

Darlene Love

[@dangibson906]

Only a genius like BRYAN FERRY can take such a simple, smooth and unpretentious melody and present to us a MASTERPIECE. God, I wish I could have been there that evening ... superb

[@clanger_6870]

And that, people, is how you do music.

[@nickyG7515]

yes indeed! Music should be brought back to REAL musicians, not tek minded sample guys.....

[@viper88i]

amazing live performance ! great backing vocals and the black girl at 3.40-3.50 is simply fantastic she has a great range with her voice and she sounds fantastic

Whole band is so talented, and they all mutually respect each other. Therefore this 'voice' gets an even better setting for the reciprocal efforts. Wonderful, timeless art

[@18000rpm]

I love how @2:59 when Yanick starting singing every musician on stage was beaming, knowing this was something special.

[@TinselDoll]

Yanick Ettiene's voice and this song - it does not get better than this.
