Bryan Ferry, CBE (born 26 September 1945), is an English singer, musician, and songwriter known for his unique vocal style. Ferry came to prominence in the early 1970s as lead vocalist and principal songwriter with the band Roxy Music, which enjoyed a highly successful career with three number one albums and ten singles entering the top ten charts in the United Kingdom during the 1970s and ’80s, including “Virginia Plain”, “Street Life” and “Jealous Guy”.
Ferry began his solo career in 1973, while still a member of Roxy Music, which he continues to the present day. His solo hits include “Let’s Stick Together” and “Slave to Love”. His most recent album, The Jazz Age, was released in 2012.
When his sales as a solo artist and as a member of Roxy Music are combined, Ferry has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
Let’s Stick Together is a 1976 album by Bryan Ferry. His third solo release, it was his first following the disbanding of Roxy Music earlier in the year. Unlike Ferry’s two previous solo recordings, Let’s Stick Together was not a dedicated album project, instead being made up of material released as singles, B-sides and an EP. With a highly popular title track, it had a generally favourable critical reception, but only just made the UK Top 20.
