The song that announced Roxy Music and Brian Ferry to the world.

I give you two for the price of one this week. (Not that either of them actually costs anything.)
The In Crowd was a hit in both these decades, first for Dobie Gray in 1965, then for Brian Ferry in 1974.
Here’s Dobie Gray in a US TV appearance.

Ferry’s treatment of the song is a little different.

Following on from Canned Heat last week, this live version of Let’s Work Together but more especially Brian Ferry’s reworking of the song as Let’s Stick Together may be deliciously ironic – or not – depending on the outcome of yesterday’s vote. I scheduled this post to appear today before knowing the result.

*I had originally remembered this Canned Heat song as from the 60s but it came out in 1970.
