Bryan dominated the charts in the 1970s and 80s, both as the frontman of his band Roxy Music and as a solo singer. Overall, he’s sold more than 30 million albums and topped the charts with his solo albums ‘Boys and Girls’ and ‘Street Life’.
As well as being a prolific songwriter, Bryan has recorded many cover versions, including standards from the Great American Songbook. He enjoyed a Grammy nomination in 2001 for his album As Time Goes By' and has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
His voice and style are iconic: Bryan was once described as 'an art object' who 'should hang in the Tate' by writer Peter York AND Kate Bush has said he "was the most exciting singer that she’d heard, who covered the whole emotional spectrum."
So who has he chosen to start us on his 10-song journey? It’s Howlin’ Wolf and “Smokestack Lightnin’”.
