As we are on our favourite RM & BF songs from each album, I thought of another pole regarding what songs best exemplify Bryan's voice. If we had to decide on 3 vocal performances from each era and from both the solo & Roxy recordings he has released what would you say are Bryan's best in terms of his delivery/stylisation/performance? It doesn't necessary to be a favourite song, or even a good one, just one that demonstrates the quintessential Bryan Ferry vocal performance & delivery 1972-1975 Virginia Plain Beauty Queen A Really Good Time 1976-1982 Crazy Love Still Falls the Rain Same Old Scene 1983- 1988 Don't Stop the Dance Zamba In Every Dream Home (Live on the 1988 Tour/New Town Video) 1989 - 1996 Taxi Chain Reaction Dance With Life 1997- 2006 Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 As Time Goes By Don't Think Twice, It's All Right 2007- 2018 Make You Feel My Love Tender Is The Night Lost. Absolute top 3 Vocals performance/delivery: Beauty Queen Sonnet 18 Crazy Love J.O'B. |

Absolute top 3 Vocals performance/delivery: Casanova Street Life Where or When Now, I'm going to rest, my brain hurts! |

Hipsters, J’OB & Rendezvous have made brilliant submissions. Windswept is still thinking (and listening). This is the most challenging listomania of all. It’s good that W2 is locked up. Were he a free man, he’d never find time to answer this one ! Salutations, Windswept. |

O’B has issued the most interesting of challenges and you responded magnificently. It has been difficult to choose. Happily his career has been long and his voice has changed but at the same time remained uniquely Ferry. J. O’B split his career into 7 periods which helped focus the mind because there are great vocal performances from each era and many from live performances (Jools Holland etc) or side projects (Sonett 18, Birkin duet etc..) In fact one of the greatest vocal Ferry performances that W2 has witnessed was his ‘Frantic’ performance at NYC’s Beacon Theatre in 2002. The acoustics in that place are pretty good. The band (lead by Colin Good) were note perfect and our hero delivered a phenomenal vocal performance that included ‘Falling In Love Again’, ‘Carrickfurgus’, ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow ‘. W2 has never heard him sound better and had it been recorded would have just chosen that entire show ! We are truly spoilt for choice. Salutations, Windswept |

Bonne soirée à tous! Cher Oberon, Apart from an under analysis of the inaugural years, W2 finds much to admire on your list. Your choice of ‘The Only Face’ with Enrico Tomasso versus Windswept’s selection with Jools Holland poses a real dilemma. Isn’t it poignant that our hero has given two of his best performances to one of his most beautiful songs ? It makes it hard for the aficionado to decide. Windswept adores Tomasso’s trumpet and it sounds sublime on this song but the emotional wail of Ferry’s harmonica proves too much to ignore. Given that we are supposed to be judging the vocal, isn’t the truth that both should feature ? Trop difficile a decider ! Salutations, Windswept. |
