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

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.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
