Singer and former front man for the hugely sucessful 70s and 80s group Roxy Music, mr Suave, Brian Ferry. Ferry emerged as if from nowhere in 1972 when he launched Roxy Music on an unsuspecting but highly receptive world. The band was the ideal vehicle for his multifarious talents as composer, singer and visual artist - the wildly innovative music was presented via equally original artwork, costumes and stage shows. Roxy Music crystallised the hippest style of the 70s, sophistication crossed with street-credibility. A series of groundbreaking albums such as For Your Pleasure and Siren and hit singles like Love Is The Drug and Jealous Guy brought the group worldwide success, culminating in the album Avalon in 1981.
