Roxy Music - Virginia Plain (1972)

Bryan Ferry is 71 today. To celebrate his birthday I have posted his first hit song. "Virginia Plain" was the debut single by Roxy Music and it quickly became a hit, reaching number 4 in the UK singles charts. Bryan Ferry also had several solo hits as well as more with Roxy Music, and "Virginia Plain" had a second run in the Top 20 in 1977, five years after its first appearance. This song shows just how much can be crammed into a three-minute single, it really is quite amazing.
