Bryan Ferry
Bryan Ferry (born 26 September 1945) is an English singer and songwriter. He became known as the frontman of the band Roxy Music and also launched a solo career. His voice has been described as an "elegant, seductive croon". He also established a distinctive image and sartorial style: according to ''The Independent'', Ferry and his contemporary David Bowie influenced a generation with both their music and their appearances. Peter York described Ferry as "an art object" who "should hang in the Tate". Born to a working-class family, Ferry studied fine art and taught at a secondary school before pursuing a career in music. In 1970 he began to assemble Roxy Music with a group of friends and acquaintances in London, and took the role of lead singer and main songwriter. The band achieved immediate international success with the release of their self-titled debut album in 1972, containing a rich multitude of sounds, which reflected Ferry's interest in exploring different genres of mu ...

These Foolish Things (album)
''These Foolish Things'' is the debut solo studio album by Bryan Ferry, who at the time was still Roxy Music's lead vocalist. The album was released in October 1973 on Island Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in the United States. It is considered to be a departure from Roxy Music's sound, being made up of far more 'straight' versions of standards. Additionally, where Roxy Music's albums were of songs composed by the band, ''These Foolish Things'' was a covers album. It was a commercial and critical success, peaking at number five on the UK Albums Chart. It received a gold music recording certification, certification from the British Phonographic Industry in May 1974. Most of the tracks on the album were personal favorites of Ferry's, and spanned several decades from 1930s standards such as the title track through 1950s Elvis Presley to Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" was released as a single and reached number 10 in the UK Singles C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Bride Stripped Bare (album)
''The Bride Stripped Bare'' is the fifth solo studio album by English singer Bryan Ferry. It was released in 1978, shortly before Ferry reconvened his band Roxy Music which had been on hiatus for three years. It was recorded after his girlfriend Jerry Hall left him for Mick Jagger in 1977, and appears to contain references to their break-up. The album peaked at number 13 on the albums chart in the United Kingdom. The album's title is taken from the Marcel Duchamp artwork ''The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even''. Ferry had been introduced to the work as an art school student by Richard Hamilton (artist), Richard Hamilton. A subtext of Duchamp's piece is masculine and feminine relationships. Critical reception Reviewing for AllMusic, critic Ned Raggett wrote: "When Jerry Hall, front-cover model on Roxy's ''Siren (Roxy Music album), Siren'', left Ferry for Mick Jagger, his response was this interesting album, not a full success but by no means a washout."
