It's a crying shame that it took so long for Roxy Music to get into the Hall of Fame they are hands down better than a great deal of the inductees for the past 20 years
You got that right
ABSOLUTELY!!! To be Brutally Honest an old gf took Me to see Bryan Ferry Bete Noire tour show at Radio City Music Hall & with all the tragedies that is going on, I really hope nothing prevents This Tour from happening
I agree. Still waiting for Jethro Tull
Such a worthless statement
Hey Dean
Look at it this way,it took people fooled by David Bowie this long to catch up.Americans,THIS MEANS YOU!
Memphis Dan LeLoLai
That song will be remembered 1000 years from now.
shit they will be listening to in space
Timeless fer sure
To future generations of musicians.
This is how it's done.
Kind regards Kate. 👱♀️🎸💕💕
Why? It is an insult to the true Roxy Music - the first five, and especially first two, albums. It's crap.
@@Soundofsilver2007 It is Roxy in name. Nothing more.
I love how the lady backing singer got applause; and she deserved it.
I agree, but this is more excellence on a technical level. The real feeling of lonelyness and enchantment can only be evoked by listening to the original singer: Yanick Etienne, as can be seen and heard here: ua-cam.com/video/_ovwk77JRww/v-deo.html
Andy Greene in Rolling Stone, published yesterday wrote, "Background singer Tawatha Agee, who toured with the group in the early Eighties, does an amazing job on this one. The background musicians for the upcoming tour haven’t been announced, but Agee was a part of Ferry’s most recent solo tour and let’s hope she’s back for this next Roxy run."
I fell for her when they were at the Hollywood Bowl, 1983.
@@clarkdhruvaeforden In the Frejus concert from 1982, which was recorded and released as a movie of sorts, the backup singers were Fonzi and Tawatha (who were both at R&R HOF induction) plus Michelle Cobbs, who sang on Avalon and toured extensively with Ferry in the early and late 80s. Tawatha's voice is still as amazing as it was in the 80s. Michelle essentially left the business and became a well-regarded addiction counselor in the NY area. Fascinating article on her in Rolling Stone. She and Fonzi were pals with Luther Vandross when she graduated from a NY arts high school, and worked extensively with Chic. She also sang with Diana Ross, the Police, Gang of Four, Duran Duran; a really-varied career.
@@williamcandee5267 Is that Fonzi as in Fonzi Thornton?
@@MisterChirp yes.
Man the beautiful, pure voice on that backup singer.
who is she?
@@richardlambrecht8517 Yanick Etienne. She recently passed away.
@@stellarocquie7957 this is not Yanick unfortunately. I wish she was. It is Tawatha Agee
This was the "last song" at our wedding 36 years ago. Thank you Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music for some wonderful memories.
Oh! And it was our first dance at our wedding 27 years ago!
This was one of the last songs at our wedding 2 years ago! A beautiful classic which will continue to live on through the generations.
Always was and always will be the classiest singer with the most unique voice to be on a stage, living legend.
*ONE OF THE MOST DESERVED HALL OF FAME INDUCTIONS EVER. A LOT OF TODAY'S BANDS OWE A LOT TO BRYAN FERRY AND ROXY MUSIC*
*TOP 10 HALL OF FAME PERFOMANCES FOR ME! TIMELESS MASTERPIECE*
Couldn't have said it any better 🦉
@@RaoulDukeSr Agree with both of you wholeheartedly.
Divina. Hermosa música del Soft Rock. Años dorados aquellos.
Brilliant. Yanick Etienne, what a voice.
Total Class! Passion, Grace, Artistry, Pure Romance music
Well put...
Hard to believe Bryan's going to be 76 in September and he's still got that sweet, elegant but sexy voice! Roxy Music is still one of my fave bands!
it still has that cool and gentlemanly elegance. It always will be
His voice is close to shot, frankly, but the songs and the bands he puts together are awesome.
GE Smith helped put some of those bands together
@@richardernsberger5692 No idea what you THINK you're hearing!
Front row seats to see Roxy Music in 80's Chicago...Magnificent!!! So happy they were inducted. Bravo
That lady nailed the vocal!
The fabulous Tarts also hit in Paul Young's come back and stay.
Maravilhosa voz!!!
The lady's name is tawatha Agee
I still feel Yanick Etienne who sang on the original record is by far and away the most beautiful voice on that song.
Still absolutely gorgeous and always will be! Love you, Bryan!
Roxy Music was always unique, no one like them then or now. They’ve given us some songs that define ‘timeless.’
Bravo 👏 👏
saw him in orlando in 94. solo tour. the lady who sang those amazing background vocals on the record lives in orlando and she came out to do it for us live. omg. it was incredible.
Roxy Music had such a shocking mastery of sound and tone, and it's on full display here. One of my all-time favorite HoF performances, they make it look absolutely effortless.
Eno influence
It’s like a Time Machine back to 1982, wow great tune, great memories. Thank you
The bass is so great on the original version and this is a rate occasion, where it is nailed live!
Alan Spenner played bass on the original but he's sadly no longer with us (R.I.P.). The bass player in this version is Neil Jason, who played on some other songs on the original Avalon album. Neil Jason didn't play live for Roxy Music in the 1970s or 1980s but more recently joined them on their 2022 tour. He's also played with Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Brecker Brothers, Paul SImon....
@@johnwoods2736 Thank you so much for this info. Highly appreciated. ❤️
One of my favorite bands of rock! This song is eternal!!!!
For sure...
❤ Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry... Takes me back to my late husband David.... Incredibly sensual and the love we had for each other. So glad this BAND is inducted into Rock Hall of Fame... They're TIMELESS.....
I was born in the 90s but Ive always had a soft spot for 80s music.
This is one of my favourites
Wow! Wowwowwowowwowwow! I’m a kid again. This is the band that broadened my musical horizons. I could never get enough Roxy Music.
Classy Song by a Classy Band long live Roxy Music, Andy's Sax amazing as always.
One of my all time favorites. Turns my relaxation dial to 10 every time I hear the first few notes of this gem.
Wonderful performance and loved the female backing vocalist!!
*Beautiful voice* . Her name is *Yannick Etienne*
*Look up* Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak *2021* release "Leave The Door Open" ( I think you are going to like it). If you like it, you are going to have so much *fun* listening to the reaction videos to it! Her *son* listed as one of the *Producers* . Small world.
She’s also the actual backing vocalist on the Avalon album. In fact, I saw on the stage a number of the original personnel including Neil Jason on bass guitar. Great lineup.
Actually, that's Tawatha Agee! Now you can see her sing backup here and with the Dave Matthews band, in the prime of her career she sang lead for a band Mtume, who made Juicy Fruit (now popularly sampled by Biggie for his hit Juicy). She's dynamite though
@@justingratta698 It most certainly is NOT Tawatha Agee. Do your homework. It's Yanick Etienne, who sung on the original version in 1982.
@@stellarocquie7957Do your own research. That's definitely not Yanick Etienne.😂
Bryan Ferry is and always has been straight out of the fridge cool, Roxy music we're way ahead of their time great band. We'll deserved.
For sure..... spot on...
"Straight out of the fridge cool." I like that! Gonna glom it. ;)
Lady gave me chills....
They were (& are) right on time
Timeless
Just a great group ! Long overdue. They were incredibly influential to so many artists. Bryan Ferry is beautiful in every way 💕🧚♂️👏😎🥰💝
Such a cool singer and band....so many memories from my younger days......
I grew up with this song, and since the first time I can remember hearing it, it's remained my favourite. This song is timeless.
The emotions of the song & my memories bring a tear to my eye ... and I would not have it any other way ! 😍
I’d do anything to turn you on Whoa !!
Can't believe I've never heard this song until now...holy cow, incredible performance!
Roxy Music produced such intricate, original, and ever changing work. A truly Iconic band.
And to be shallow may I add, Brian Ferry in his years say @ mid 30-60, looked like a James Bond. Such a sophisticated, stylish man. Still looks wonderful.
Always, and forever....beautiful and brilliant.
Roxy music will be remembered thousands of years as they are the best live
Such a beautiful song sung by an elegant talented singer! Roxy music Bryan Ferry all were wonderful at msg nyc sept 12 2022! My daughter and I had the most enjoyable time!
when music was quality easy listening timeless arrangements. Now compare this stylish gem to the offerings in 2020 yep what a difference to the ear and soul.
According to what's popular now, this kind of music almost seems impossible to create.
hard to write a masterpiece, my friend. even with all the technology of 2020
That lady, such a performance! World class!
Much, much better than I thought this would be. His voice is almost shot, but he still pulls it off with class...
The coolest singer of a era. The coolest songs to be passionate with. From an old guy pushing 80. Keep listening.
I'm an early and forever fan of Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music, and all of the original members of the band, Eno, Phil Manzanera, and Andy MacKay, especially. All of them have done great solo work, but WHAT A BAND!
Paul Thompson beast drummer too
Has to be the best time machine ever invented. Really brings me back. Must be one of the best songs of all time. Perfectionism still!
Such romance and beauty. I can make it about half way through if I try to sing it before the tears flow.
Me also...I am doing it right now....
Наверное, самая лучшая его песня...я плачу...стареет на глазах...кто подарит ещё нам такие прекрасные мгновения. Человек со вкусом, стилем, чувством меры. Как сегодня этого не хватает.
They sound just as good as ever
this song as close as it gets to HEAVEN.......thx bryan/roxy
One of the all round most beautiful songs.
Great to see some of the original lineup onstage again, super-crisp.
Brilliant backing singer 💕🌸
RIP Yanick Etienne 😢❤
All these years later and Bryan Ferry still sounds smooth!
Yeah he sure is. I'd go out with him.
@@asimoimposter4858 Hmmm! You'd have to get past me first. :-)
Great song, great vocals, great saxophone-playing. Love this performance 💋💋💋
seems "so tired" though
Kind of his thing
Incredible band
Great in any era
My childhood favorite band, Roxy Music
Named my youngest daughter after this song. Every now and then there's people finding that odd. They never heard of Roxy Music probably. But when watching this, I know we'd made a killer choice.
Awesome. Brings back so many memories…..
wowwwww Bryan Ferry & the Lady killing it...…????? Awesome, amazing performance for an 37 year old song...
Tawatha Agee from Mtume.
@@ClaytonBryantSings wowwwwwwww Mtume " juicy Fruit.....?????
andi k. Yes! That’s her
@@ClaytonBryantSings fantastic on this. you can tell she really enjoyed the song. she is spot on
@@defaultusername123 She's been with Roxy Music since the 80's her and Fonzi Thornton
The classy clasical most romantic song of all time...
Luv Mister Ferry, I will never forget listening to Roxy music Avalon CD in my ears in Glastonbury walking up the Tor, sheep on both sides of me and laying out on that mountain letting the sun gazed over my body, then one year later I name my first standard poodle Avalon Garcia Blue, TDI , and he lived up to its name...
When that female background singer comes on... I'm in love.
one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded…thanks RM for all the memories!!
I can't be alone that I adore his solo LP's as well !
Timeless,a voice like velvet ❤ super band .
I went to the Avalon concert when the ALBUM❣️🤗 came out. What a show that was. It was FLAWLESS🥰💫♾
How wonderful was that performance! Outstanding!
I was there that night! Just wonderful ❤
I am late to this post but just needed to say I love this. My son encouraged us to watch The Affair and the wedding dance was so perfect. I love this song yet I sit here crying because my son who encouraged us to watch the series has now passed away and this song brought back memories of a better time. That looked like a fun wedding.
Amazing performance! Amazing Band!
Timeless cool. One of my all time favorite songs.
Just ordered double yellow vinyl greatest hits, incredible songs, great band...
Yanick Etienne was the female vocalist on the original recording of " Avalon"
*Yeh, her son* is a famous record producer (Bruno Mars ( *2021* "Leave the door open", and *more* ), small world.
@@reallythankful2856 just to be clear for others her son isn’t Bruno Mars, it’s D’Mile who works a lot with H.E.R. and Sonic Silk and has been nominated for 7 Grammys and won an Oscar for Best Original Song
Yanick sadly passed away in march this year
,@@garrymathers9, i am sorry to hear this. May she rest easy and sing with the Angels choir.
BRYAN YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!! YOU A COMPLETE MUSICIAN!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL YOUR MUSICIANS, ALL OF THEM WONDERFUL, PERFECT!!! WHAT A BAND!!!💋💋❤️🌹
It was so great to see Roxy on both the Avalon Tour and in 2022 for the 50th!
So amazing, unique, inspiring, breathtaking...
This is how I hope it sounds in heaven.
if there is some greater being out there, you KNOW a bunch of Roxy Music is in it's "Most Played" playlist lol
Me aswell 🙏
@@defaultusername123 Bowie is listening to it right now, in his exalted place.
Wow many thanks my dear friends I must say it does kill the pain over here in Costa Mesa California we all love you all and thank you very much for the brilliant music Bryan Ferry it’s a very tough act to follow thank you so much
Best British art rock group ever, bar none, Roxy were brilliant
Sure one of the greatest.
Love this band
Amazing. Love Roxy Music.
I love this song, seen him live last year ❤❤👏👏
My fave song of all time , perfection
I am a self thought blues guitar player struggling to learn how to master ? The instrument ?SOMEWHAT with some what of a bit of results .AND WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE it makes me realize how little I know, and how humbling this melody makes me aware of how many more miles I need to ''travel '' to accomplish my goal ! I KNOW THE GUITAR IS NOT THE''LEAD INSTRUMENT '' on display here but the overall arrangement is overwhelming .To me I THINK THIS IS AS CLOSE TO A MUSICAL PERFECTION ONE CAN ATTAIN ! This tune reaches into my heart ! simply INCREDIBLE BEAUTIFUL .
That backup singer is amazing.
Yannick Etienne
A beautiful addirion
It's not Yannick... It's Tawatha mcGee
Îl était une fois la vie il était une fois la jeunesse il était une fois l'amour .thanks to Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry from Morocco we love you .
I Saw Ferry in the '80s at Madison Square Garden, love his smooth style and still listen to him in 2022!!
WONDERFUL BACK UP SINGERS!!
Well deserved such talent and soft beautiful voice. He is so sophisticated and handsome ❤
I've been a fan since the very beginning - saw them in the early 70s in Glasgow. Still a fan 50 years later ;)
Wow great live rendition!
He is one of the greatest that Britain has produced.
So good to see and well deserved. And always as smooth as silk❤
Perfection in any form!
Just the right amount, at just the right moment. Roxy Music.
Stunning!!!!! Brilliant. Love.
Yanick Etienne's original voice is perfect and incomparable, and unfortunately will never be heard live again. R.I.P Yanick.
Song is still on the radio on my favorite station in Boston
My favorite band!
What a beautiful Song still !2024
That was really good. She definitely nailed it.
Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay are musical giants of my youth. If I had to chose only one of their albums, it would be For Your Pleasure.
The Bogus man is on his way,as fast as he can come
He's currently residing in a big house on Pennsylvania Avenue.
@@smythharris2635 Nope, the real bogus man left in 2020, dragged kicking and screaming... by his awful family... the current guy is legit, just old, c'mon the California gov, baby...
Buenos Noches desde Espana, (La Zona Nacionalista)) how are you grewmerboomergrandpa? How are your Hispanix doing? Mowing your cesped?😎 That's their nivel.Do you mow theirs?
What no mention of Eno?
Love this, real art!
