Bryan Ferry CBE (born 26 September 1945) is an English singer and songwriter. 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 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. 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. Including his work with Roxy Music, Ferry has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. In 2019, Ferry was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Roxy Music. Ferry was born in Washington, County Durham, son of Mary Ann and Frederick Charles Ferry. His parents were working-class: his father was a farm labourer who also looked after pit ponies. He attended Washington Grammar-Technical School (now called Washington Academy) on Spout Lane from 1957. ... Source: Article "Bryan Ferry" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Bryan Ferry, 26 Eylül 1945 tarihinde Washington, County Durham, İngiltere'de dünyaya gelmiştir. Çiftlik işçisi bir babanın oğlu olan Ferry, işçi sınıfı bir çevrede büyümesine rağmen sanata olan derin ilgisiyle dikkat çekti. Newcastle Üniversitesi'nde Güzel Sanatlar eğitimi aldı ve burada İngiliz Pop Art akımının öncülerinden Richard Hamilton'ın öğrencisi oldu. Bu eğitim, ilerideki müzik kariyerinde albüm kapaklarından sahne kostümlerine kadar yansıyacak olan o eşsiz görsel estetik anlayışının temellerini attı. Mezuniyetinin ardından kısa bir süre seramik öğretmenliği ve kamyon şoförlüğü yapan Ferry, müzik tutkusunun peşinden giderek Londra'ya taşındı. 1970 yılında, sanat okulu estetiğini rock'n roll enerjisiyle birleştiren efsanevi grup Roxy Music'i kurdu. Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera ve Andy Mackay gibi yetenekli müzisyenleri bir araya getiren grup, 1972 yılında yayınladıkları kendi adlarını taşıyan ilk albümleri ve hit şarkıları "Virginia Plain" ile müzik dünyasında bomba etkisi yarattı. Ferry'nin kendine has titrek vokali, şık smokinleri ve avangart tarzı, onu Glam Rock döneminin en sofistike ikonlarından biri haline getirdi. Roxy Music ile 1970'ler boyunca "For Your Pleasure" (1973), "Stranded" (1973) ve "Siren" (1975) gibi başarılı albümlere imza attı. Özellikle "Siren" albümünün kapağında, o dönemki nişanlısı Jerry Hall yer aldı ve "Love is the Drug" şarkısı uluslararası bir hit oldu. Ancak grubun ve Ferry'nin kariyerindeki en büyük ticari ve sanatsal zirve, 1982 tarihli "Avalon" albümüyle geldi. "More Than This" ve "Avalon" gibi şarkıların yer aldığı bu albüm, atmosferik yapısı ve kusursuz prodüksiyonuyla "Sophisti-pop" türünün başyapıtı kabul edilir. Roxy Music'in dağılmasının ardından solo kariyerine odaklanan Ferry, 1985 yılında yayınladığı "Boys and Girls" albümüyle solo kariyerinin zirvesine ulaştı. Bu albümden çıkan "Slave to Love" ve "Don't Stop the Dance" şarkıları, 80'lerin en unutulmaz klasikleri arasına girdi. Bob Dylan şarkılarını yorumladığı "Dylanesque" (2007) ve 1920'lerin caz standartlarını seslendirdiği "The Jazz Age" (2012) gibi projelerle çok yönlülüğünü kanıtlamaya devam etti. Müziğe ve sanata katkılarından dolayı 2011 yılında İngiliz Kraliyet Nişanı (CBE) ile onurlandırılan Bryan Ferry, 2019 yılında Roxy Music üyesi olarak Rock and Roll Hall of Fame'e kabul edildi. "Tarzın Kralı" olarak da anılan Ferry, hem solo çalışmalarıyla hem de Roxy Music mirasıyla modern müziğin en etkileyici ve şık figürlerinden biri olmaya devam etmektedir.
