Happy 80th birthday to the ever-sophisticated and endlessly dynamic Bryan Ferry (born 9/26/45). As the voice and visionary behind Roxy Music, Ferry has carved out a singular place in music history — from the band’s groundbreaking 1972 debut through the lush elegance of Avalon in 1982, and into a distinguished solo career that has never wavered in style or class. Always impeccably dressed and eternally suave, Ferry’s seductive croon remains his most defining instrument. Revisit his 1985 Live Aid performance, featuring David Gilmour on guitar.
