Bryan Ferry

[MrSteveOld]

Bryan is magic

[No1More1Mr1Nice1Guy1]

he looks bored here



[008sil]

Bryan Ferry is the best!

[OneDollarBook]

My trip to England, many moons back on a crowded plane, required me to sit on the lap of a fat woman. Upon arrival I noted that there was 200 extra dollars in my pocket.

[RodCornholio]

Sorry Dylan. I like this better.

[peoplesrepub0fEmily]

bryan, you're one of my v.favourite artistes. but do stop encouraging your sad offspring's fox-bothering antics~they'll always be cooler..admit defeat 

[amonduultje]

great performer...

[wo804349]

a lovely performance. 

[MsPatataki]

I LOVE THIS MAN...

I REALLY LOVE HIM!!!!!!!

[alanrobgrillit]

Looks like Peter Mandleson . . .

[Kristopful]

Some people took offence when she called Bryan.."The king of covers..."

But he IS in my opinion..the greatest cover artist that ever lived, as this sensetive and beutiful rendition confirms. Aside from that he is also one of the greatest song writers and lyricist's in his own right.

No one has equaled that status.

[missionpants]

Dang U Bryan... U Gotta Lotta nerve TO sing This Awesome Song......

Sigh..... Luv Youooo...

[sonsielass1]

She's so rude calling him the King of Covers. She's obviously unaware of his back catalogue, and the influence he has had on countless bands.

[fidomusic]

@sonsielass1 I agree. And in fact he rightly doesn't like the word 'covers'. He calls his 'covers' 'interpretations'. And that is what they are.

[tarquyn1]

Goodness me he is an attractive man still...

[RICKYYYYYYYYYYY1]

GREAT SONG.......CIAO

[15xpac]

The sultan of Sophisticated , by which all standards are set

[fishhateme14]

What a great cover of a great song. God I love this man, he's got more style and class than any artist out there. Bryan we love you!

[odurhamccc]

Oh wow ! That came out of left field -as has been said this is not too obviously flagged up! This is an absolutely beautiful rendition very very sensitively performed, P S further to some of the previous comments re accent - in the words of Galton and Simpson spoken by Patrick Cargill in Hancocks the Blood Donor sketch 'We can't all be Rob Roys !'

[ryanserring]

Great Upload , just put more tags on it so more people can find and enjoy it , THANKS!

[tetedemarc]

What a great song !! By one of the greatest singer ever. Only Brian Ferry can sing someone's song as good if not better. I'd had Joe Cocker too. But Brian Ferry lives what he sings !! Hope he's gonna tour Canda soon,western Canada .

[vierdiez]

WOW!!!

[vfrmin]

Thank you AlisonGrist!!!!!

[rajscreedon69]

how i would love to have seen this!

[bellmerdolls]

ferry kills on this!!!! great interview as well. he ages like no one else.

[Blackwolff9]

@bellmerdolls :His birthday is Sept.26,so remember to wish him a Happy Birthday!

[stuart7034]

surley a gtreat tune b in done by a great artist

[fossaalta]

bellisisma versione raffinata e piena di malinconia

[laggie24]

Appreciate bringing me here ... tks.

AHHH ... "THE KING OF COVERS" ... WOW... WELL SAID!!!

What a song!!! What a lyrics!!! What a preformance!!!

Ahhh... I wish I could have had or could be just once at his concert.

Oh my ... what a LAD!

[uItravioIet]

Positively 4th Street is an angry, bitter song, but Ferry's version is melancholic. It's so beautiful.

[jennally]

Of course Geordies rock !

I lived all over the Isles and love em !

[virginiaplain100]

Depending on my mood, I like both the original Dylan song, and the Ferry cover song.

[sammidoll85]

he's gorgeous he always has been

his voice is amazin

[newnewly]

this dude's gonna have a major hit (major hits) in the u.s. yet.....as he modifys his style just a little bit and the listening public catches up to that style, this class, this class act. he and the "listening public" are evolving....

[bosoxx44]

This is the best version I`ve heard of this song....don`t think he`s made a bad recording since the split with `Roxy¬.

[timeworn]

This guy does some great work. Its a pleasure to listen to him.

[steelyman08]

Thanks for bringing us back to the fine music and this remarkable artist. I was packing a few essentials and preparing to spend the rest of my days in a well secluded cave. . . until you spoke up and put an end to all of the shallow chit-chat about his looks and accent.

[jcfbell3001]

he looks fine...what the h*ll are you talking about LOL

[hearsay58]

Good grief what's wrong with his face & neck - all swollen on left side in the interview piece. Imagine a tubby BF!

[friendlier]

He's got a bit of a turkey neck at this point, but the left-side bulge is the fault of horrific lighting, which for some reason you get a lot of with British pop shows.

[uItravioIet]

@hearsay He's in his mid-sixties. That may have something to do with it. Let's see how you look at his age. I think he looks amazing.

[AndrewMcCheyne]

People sometimes don't like their accents. I would love to get shot of my Geordie accent.

[chemicalkid100]

Don't get rid of your Geordie accent! Geordie accents are great in my opinion, and I'm not even a Geordie!

[Deposetheboyking]

He talks about the poetry of Dylan...but Bryan is also a poet. Many of his lyrics are pure genius. I can see why it would be tough to follow, but I hope he finds his muse soon so we can all hear the new Roxy album!

[zurapDOR]

Bowie considers him one of Englands finest Lyricists..

[bebowilliams]

I vote for Ian McShane to play the role of Bryan Ferry in a life telling movie. Bryan makes me cry to pieces....

[clemzzz]

is this "positively 4th street"???

[kidcalabria]

Yes. Came out only as a single in 1966, Blonde On Blonde period. The first Dylan Greatest Hits album (1967) was the only album with this song, once, although a later version of that album doesn't have the song on it anymore. It was the electric R&R Dylan, with the Hammond organ, like Like A Rolling Stone or Absolutely Sweet Marie

[Cormecane]

yes

[chemicalkid100]

Excellent! I'm a great fan of Roxy Music and BF, but there's just one thing that puzzles me slightly. How did BF come to have such a posh accent (though nonetheless very pleasant to listen to), considering that he came from a working class family in Newcastle? Can anyone enlighten me?

[ssballs]

Posh?Maybe education,travel or other circumstances?@ 63 and that career there wouldn't be a reason to affect that.She on the other hand seems to try to be the princess of Cockney(not knowing her or the the finesses of British"accents",is all i can say.I second elfboy's comment.

[mengele800]

Do you realize how fucking ignorant you sound by asking this question? Are you trying to imply that because a person is born into a lower social status they are not entitled to have higher aspirations and better themselves professionally, intellectually, or spiritually? Thus evolving into better a human being! Because that's what happened to Brian Ferry; the wealthier and well-traveled he got to be, the more cultured and sophisticated he became. More power to him. People should never conform.

[chemicalkid100]

mengele800: I am completely shocked that you have put that interpretation on my comments!!! I am not saying anything about social status. I am not saying anything about it being wrong to have aspirations to better things. I am just saying it is fairly unusual for a person to grow up in one area of the UK and end up with an accent that sounds like they're from somewhere else. BF is an extremely talented / creative musician and lyricist and deserves everything he has achieved.

[CaliforniaMary]

@mengele800  I agree!

[freeflowfirst]

Good interview as well.

[froggycyrus]

One of the best Singers in rock.

[MadHandsome]

This is wonderful! Great live performance. Thanks for sharing!

[dancingchexmix]

WONDERFUL!

[elfyboy]

Bryan puts paid to that old saw about artists and their oversized egos. What a charming and talented guy.

[MANHATTANBEEFMAN]

Brilliant interpretation....by the typically brilliant Ferry. This guy was ahead of his time from the very beginning....and they haven't caught up yet!
