The Glorious Chance Behind Roxy Music's 1972 Debut Hit: The Surprising Story of "Virginia Plain"

"Virginia Plain", a 1972 hit by Roxy Music, reached the top 4 in the UK almost by accident! With no traditional chorus, title only at the end and improvised solo, the track defied all pop formulas - and that's exactly what made it brilliant. Bryan Ferry composed it inspired by one of his paintings, as an emergency single after his debut album. The band admitted: "We just hadn't a clue how to make a single". The result was a glorious fluke that opened doors for art rock into the mainstream. It influenced bands like Squeeze and marked the beginning of the Roxy Music revolution. Perfect for fans of glam, art rock and behind-the-scenes stories. Listen and find out why this "chance" changed their career!
