Deary me, whats all the bickering between Bowie and Ferry. Both are good in their own right and they are both way better than the crap that's out today! Don't think Bowie got influenced by Ferry but if you watch early Roxy Music they were quite wacko! Anyway, as for this song,it's a class tune and one of the best by Japan. Great tune and sang with emotion.
@zendoking You are not reading correctly what I wrote. I was never in Jolly Ole England. Perhaps you're going to the wrong clubs? Watch Bowie's videos 'Let's Dance' and 'China Girl'. Bowie 1982= Ferry 1978. I don't care how Bryan Ferry is perceived by you today. It's what he established, it appears before your time. I'm not saying Ferry influenced Bowie as a whole, just for a short period. Remember Bowie's a chameleon. By the way your mother has good taste.You're mother should know.
@zendoking It was Bryan Ferry who laid the foundation for the New Romantics. By the late 70's early 80's with songs like 'Dance Away' 'My Only Love' 'On the Radio' and most of the album 'Avalon' the influence was in full stride. He impressed not only art rockers of the late 70's but the Romantics who surfaced in the early 80's. Any influence by Bowie was influenced by Ferry not only in song but style as well.Watch the 'Let's Dance' video.That's a Bryan Ferry copy and that's a fact.
just listen...and enjoy, a true ensemble album thats so seminal for me. Great times, great memories
