Roxy Music were an English rock band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry and Graham Simpson. The other longtime members were Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe), and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion).

Although the band took a break from group activities in 1976 and again in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. Their best known song is Jealous Guy from 1981.
