Roxy Music were an English rock band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry—who became the band’s lead singer and main songwriter—and bass guitarist Graham Simpson. The other longtime members were Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe), and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Other members included Brian Eno (synthesizer and ‘treatments’), Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin), and John Gustafson (bass). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1976 and again in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and toured together intermittently over the next few years. Ferry frequently enlisted band members as session musicians for his solo releases.

Fun fact: Martha Ladly from Martha and the Muffins was a back up singer for a while in the Eighties.
Still, “Avalon” is so sweet my ears get diabetes listening to it, and my favourite rendition of “Rock you like a hurricane” is done by Roxy Music in one of their live performances.
OOPS. It’s “Your love is like a hurricane”. Scorpions NO Neil Young YES
Great song.
