About the band: Roxy Music were a British rock band formed in 1970 by lead singer and main songwriter Bryan Ferry. Until their break-up in 1983 they were one of the most successful alternative art rock band in the UK and Europe - although their sound mellowed as time went on. It has been argued that Roxy Music are the second most influential British band after The Beatles. They released eight studio albums. Roxy Music currently have four songs in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: the beautiful song Oh yeah is an excellent example of their later style. Taken from the 1980 album Flesh and Blood, this deceptively simple single is about a summer love affair - an everyday story of boy meets girl, in car with radio. It has always been one of the group's own favourites and I fully understand why. Their eighth top ten hit in the UK. Run time 4:52.
