Roxy Music - Both Ends Burning. The percussionist is rather fit too.
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Straight out of the sixties.
Groovy!

Were there backing dancers?

I missed them, being mesmerized as I was by Mr Ferrari's white DJ & leather kecks combo

I confess I watched with the sound on mute.
I agree with Arpee, groovy chicks man.....
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Bryan Ferry always looks like he would corner his 15 year old niece at a party and offer to show her his flash car.

Roxy/Ferry always put on a good floor show. OH enjoyed the dancing girls in ostrich feathers dancing to 'The Strand' a few years back.

He always has some brilliant musicians with him - and gives youngsters a chance - he had a fab guitarist called Olly Thompson a few years back.

John Fred and his Pop Combo performing Judy In The Sky (with glasses) on Top of the Pops plus some ladies of easy virtue caused a tremor In the trouser department of this 14-year old never to be experienced again.

All I have to say on the subject of best backing dancers is; Hawkwind, Stacia, early 70's....
