I remember hearing this song by Roxy Music for the first time when the band were ‘special guests’ on an Abba TV special which was broadcast in 1979 to promote Abba’s latest album ‘Voulez Vous’.
In these times it seems quite odd that a band would have a tv special dedicated to playing the songs from a new album no doubt in the hope of improving sales but the show was much anticipated and as were all great fans of Abba in our house we all sat down to watch it. I remember one of the Abba men (probably Bjorn) introduce this as ‘a new single from the wonderful Roxy Music’ and although I loved Abba after listening to this song I knew I would love Roxy Music just as much.
This is a great song and Bryan Ferry has a wonderful style and voice that allows the group to get away with so much that others would find difficult to emulate.
I don’t really know what else I can say about this song other than it is a masterpiece and I still listen to it on the ipod on the way to work today…
Now listen to the song….
