Can you imagine being able to cut loose like that...and get paid for it? Hope she had the time of her life singing for this.

It is a gorgeous song, from their Cetacean Period,

Not much else one can do when at the barre doing plies.

Indeed all of their 70's albums are fantastic.
Their live stuff from the 70's are also excellent.

The 1970s version of Roxy Music influenced very many musicians - this '80s, easy-listening stuff - not so much. Still, it's a good tune, but I've always found it weak compared to their earlier stuff.

Well put. I agree with everything you said here. I do have a soft spot for this song and album though.

I could not agree more...not a critique but surprised we don't get more Roxy on RP...

Name calling? Seriously.... Those two bands are not similar...Roxy Music influenced a generation of songwriters and musicians. Who sounds like a 12 year old?

Played this one a lot when I DJ'ed at my college radio station (when the song first came out -so I'm aging myself a bit!) {#Music}
