Clothes by Antony Price. Credited on Roxy Music's debut album for 'clothes, make-up and hair'. Art director and stylist, he's a slightly hidden but significant part of the band's history. He also designed Duran Duran's suits worn in the iconic Rio video.
Music is so strange. I was 10 when this and Dance Away came out and I can genuinely still feel the change in the season that year when I hear them both. A sense memory as vivid as if was still happening. The singles in 1979 were wonderful and we just expected them to come like you’d turn on a tap and there’d be water. I feel lucky to have lived through it.
8 years ago I was sitting next to my partner and we had a pregnancy test, the radio was on and the very second she turned to me and said " I'm pregnant" this song started , all the emotions I felt, elation, fear, worry, happiness and apprehension , now every time I hear it it reminds me how lucky I am to have my wonderful son and also that moment in time, still as fresh as at the moment it happened..
'Angel Eyes' was released in August 1979, the third single from Roxy Music's album 'Manifesto'. It reached No 4 in the UK chart, and was the first ever Roxy Music video.
Ford Granada Ghia Mk1 3.0L V6 White, black vinyl roof for me at 17 years of age! 17mpg going light footed around town! Plasterers earnings then, no rich parents, just loved The Sweeney, still do! 😎👌
I couldn’t agree more! Especially as someone who looks in the mirror every morning and says “would James Bond be happy leaving the house looking like this”. A rare compliment
Another great song, from one of the best bands of the eighties and even though we are now in 2020 there is not much around today that matches songs like this
Ferry oozes style and cool. Compare him to modern pop stars like Ed Sheeran (looks like a shit busker/ Big Issue seller) and One Direction (dress like 14 year old boys on school trip to Normandy).
Wouldn't that be something? As you roll into heaven, there is Bryan Ferry and his band on a multi-tiered stage... complete with smoke effects and harp. Nice.
This tune is too brief; you'd love to be wrapped up in it for at least several more minutes. I imagine there's an extended dance mix of it out there somewhere? One of the old DJ 12" singles?
What a production! Hits all the right notes. The perfect mix of musicianship and studio wizardry. They didn't let the synthesizer work overshadow the conventional instruments.
You are so right They are my favorites but they (in today's world) are not appreciated or given credit ,they paved the way(like you said for many people that may not even know. Way ahead of their time They are my favorites,as in mother of pearl.
This is JUST my opinion. I must say... I don't agree with you. Because this is not Roxy Music. Those bands would never have made it without MTV. (Maybe Duran Duran would have made it) Roxy Music is not this Tripe you are watching here. Listen to the album "Siren". After that RM sold out BIG time. This is a prefabricated horrible disco re-make of a decent tune. The original version is so much better for me. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6bQjkKBRyOU.html. I'm not trying to be rude. Just had to say what I felt. Thanks! :)
@@mirrortime Disco made me hate the seventies you are right ,who knows what kind of great creations they might have made ,like Pink Floyd they sold out to Roger Watters and pop culture to me.
Dee Ellus Dee Ellus .....lol .....You Obviously Haven't Got A Clue About Music Please Go Read Up,On Who Was The Most Influential Band Of The Seventies Before Commenting On Things You No Nothing About .
I loved the cold water to get washed in in the morning, the stale bread for breakfast, wearing coats all day to stay warm, ice on the insides of the windows... yeh, I loved the '70s. But some of the music WAS good.
The best band of the era, I was fortunate to see then in San Francisco in '70. No one in the biz can rock a tailored aqua suit like Brian ferry- and that band!! Bass player just killed it. I was in art school in the 70's and used t listen to them while I worked. What a sound, like never before, never since.
The internet. People don't encounter new music and grow anymore, they stream the things they already know, or the things the algorithm tells them sound like what they already like. People get locked into genres more than ever. Roxy Music are a prime example of a group of artists taking on a diverse range of musical styles and blending them to make it their own. In this track alone there is disco, funk, new wave and an electro-pop sensibility, all mingling. Bowie was similar, as were others. Look at most editions of the UKs Top of The Pops TV show from 1979-1982 and you will see an incredibly diverse range of new music that was broadcast to a mass audience every week. There is plenty of good music being produced, but it doesn't seem as great as before because people, including artists, now tend to go down their own digital rabbit hole which limits their innovation and creativity.
Only a Roger Moore smoothie type. Not an assassin like Daniel Craig or even Brosnan. I can't imagine Ferry in a fight, messing up his suits. I'm glad he stuck to his excellent music. Classic poser, but a bucket load of classic tracks.
I remember my dad used to play this for me a lot when I was younger and I haven’t listened to it in years and I was trying really really hard to remember it and now it all comes back and hits me like a brick
Great song from underrated 1979 comeback MANIFESTO, which I've been listening to of late. The guys in the band look pretty hip in this video. Ferry killing it as usual.
Paul Thompson looks quite uncomfortable in his outfit, whatever it's meant to be. Perhaps that's why the camera only catches him once, towards the fade.
Everything about this song screamed perfection. the pink suit, the voice, the sound, the harp, the instruments, ...... In the 80s, there was competition so they had to be good as most groups were. Fast forward to 2022, there is nothing.
Paul Thompson on drums in this video is wearing a white consume that Bowie copied a year later in the Ashes to Ashes video (not the clown on the beach costume, its when he's hanging suspended, next to a wall). I never noticed it until now
love this had just left secondary school when this was released, sweet times and many a fond memory dancing and smooching, to this track. a true cultural icon and has star quality written all over him
And to think that this was their very first video (1979). Seems very simple today, but we were all eyes and mouths wide open back then. This band was always exceptional, but you've got to hand it to Bryan Ferry for always maintaining the highest of standards. Even his live shows are excellent. They used to have the Bete Noire one on YT. So good that I bought the DVD!
@stevenlawson-blight4253 I read that it was a first of its kind in some respect. Not sure how or why, but I can try to find out again. And I never mind being out of whack. That's quite normal for me!
