His voice has been described as an "elegant, seductive croon". He also established a distinctive image and sartorial style: according to The Independent, Ferry and his contemporary David Bowie influenced a generation with both their music and their appearances. Peter York described Ferry as "an art object" who "should hang in the Tate".
Born to a working-class family, Ferry studied fine art and taught at a secondary school before pursuing a career in music. In 1970 he began to assemble the rock band Roxy Music with a group of friends and acquaintances in London, and took the role of lead singer and main songwriter. The band achieved immediate international success with the release of their eponymous debut album in 1972, containing a rich multitude of sounds, which reflected Ferry's interest in exploring different genres of music. Their second album, For Your Pleasure (1973), further cultivated the band's unique sound and visual image that would establish Ferry as a leading cultural icon over the next decade.
Ferry began a parallel solo career in 1973 by releasing These Foolish Things, which popularized for the first time the concept of a contemporary musician releasing an album covering standard songs and was a drastic departure from his ongoing work with Roxy Music. His second album, Another Time, Another Place (1974), featured as its cover image Ferry posing by a pool in a white dinner jacket and represented one of his most impactful fashion statements. Over the next two years, Roxy Music released a trilogy of albums, Stranded (1973), Country Life (1974) and Siren (1975), which broadened the band's appeal internationally and saw Ferry take greater interest in the role of a live performer, reinventing himself in stage costumes ranging from gaucho to military uniforms.
Ferry disbanded Roxy Music following the release of their best-selling album Avalon in 1982 to concentrate on his solo career, releasing further singles such as "Slave to Love" and "Don't Stop the Dance" and the UK no. 1 album Boys and Girls in 1985. Including his work with Roxy Music, Ferry has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
As well as being a prolific songwriter, Ferry has recorded many cover versions, including standards from the Great American Songbook, in albums such as These Foolish Things (1973), Another Time, Another Place (1974), Let's Stick Together (1976), Taxi (1993) and As Time Goes By (1999), as well as Dylanesque (2007), an album of Bob Dylan covers. In 2019, Ferry was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Roxy Music.

Bryan Ferry Lyrics
All I Want Is You Somebody told me just the other day That you're leaving me,…
Angel Eyes Oh angel eyes, am I deceived or did you sigh? For…
Avalon Now the party's over I'm so tired Then I see you coming Out…
Dance Away Yesterday, well it seemed so cool When I walked you home,…
Don't Stop the Dance Mama says truth is all that matters Lying or deceiving is…
He'll Have To Go Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone. Let's…
Help Me I'm a stranger far from home, won't you help me Gotta…
Jealous Guy I was dreaming of the past And my heart was beating…
Let's Stick Together ('88 Remix) (Harrison) And now the marriage vow is very sacred The man …
Love Is the Drug T'ain't no big t'ing To wait for the bell to ring T'ain't…
Slave To Love Tell her I'll be waiting In the usual place With the tired…
The 'In' Crowd I'm in with the "in" crowd I go where the "in"…
The Price Of Love Wine is sweet and gin is bitter Drink all you can…
This Is Tomorrow Here in the hush of evenin' On a night in June Overhearin'…
Tokyo Joe My girl Friday she no square She like lotus blossom in…
