Exclusive Premiere: Bryan Ferry's "You Can Dance" Video

New album 'Olympia' features first team-up with Brian Eno since 1973

July 19, 2010 9:49 AM ET

On October 26th, Bryan Ferry returns with a new solo album Olympia, which finds the Roxy Music frontman reuniting with bandmates Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Brian Eno. It's the first time the four members of the group's classic lineup have performed on an album since Roxy's classic 1973 album For Your Pleasure. Ferry also roped in big-name collaborators including David Gilmour, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, Flea and Scissor Sisters for the LP, which includes covers of tracks by Traffic and Tim Buckley. (Ferry is no stranger to reinterpreting classic rock: his last album, Dylanesque, was a collection of Bob Dylan covers.) To gear up for the album's release, Rolling Stone has an exclusive premiere of the video for lead single "You Can Dance." In the clip, Ferry croons the sultry electro-pop number as sexy female dancers writhe and jiggle in what looks like the hottest members-only nightclub ever. Check it out above.

Song Stories

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
