Chorus girls, how important have they not been throughout BF;s career, on recordings as well as on stage.
My all time favourites are Seweuse Abwa and Hannah Khemoh. Nuits de Fourviere is an excellent live session.

Mes Amis,
Oberon poses a great question.
There is no doubt that our hero has had some fabulous arrangements across the years and the chorus line has often made great contributions.
That said, Windswept's absolute favourite Ferry vocal performance was the ATGB gig immortalised in the 2001 DVD.
On this occasion, it was the band that doubled with backing vocals and our hero was on absolutely peak form. His voice was absolutely perfect that night and the arrangements substituted great instrumental climaxes on songs that often enjoy have heavy vocal support - witness the best ever 'Jealous Guy'.
Salutations,
Windswept

Oui, WS2, c`est vrai, ATGB era was fabulous. Often I watch "Live in Paris". Simply great. (Julia Thornton is in my opinion the best Roxy Girl ever.)
By the way, I\m fairly young -55!-, surely I love vinyl and most of all I am a fan of BF, or, rather, his music. Can`t wait to hold a 180 g copy of Flesh+Blood in my hand!
Salutations, Oberon

Cher Oberon,
Tu a raison, Madame Thornton is the business!
W2 was lucky enough to catch the ATGB gig at Le Grand Rex. That night the stars were well and truly aligned.
Julia and the string section made a huge contribution to a band that must, along with TBFO that featured many of the same players, be his non Roxy career high.
W2 loves the way he adjusts the arrangements of songs that we all know and love to get the most out of the line up albeit CG has played a huge part in that process over the years.
Enjoy your vinyl. At 55, you're a youngster!
Salutations,
Windswept
