BRYAN FERRY BLINDFOLD TEST

(Bryan Ferry is Roxy Music’s founder, lead singer and creative focus. He is also — as evidenced by his solo album These Foolish Things and most recent single, a crushing up-date of Dobie Gray’s “The In Crowd” — an afficionado of pop music, past and present. When Ferry visited Boston on a recent promotional excursion, he agreed to comment on a selection of vintage pop cuts. He was given no information about the records played. — Ed.)
