A versatile slap, fretless, and fingerstyle player, Gary Tibbs’ funk-fusion fluidity consequently updated Roxy Music from an art glam ensemble into suave AOR outfit as evidenced on two exemplary platters: Manifesto (1979) and Flesh + Blood (1980).

Gary also anchored a version of Adam & The Ants replete with the obligatory tarted up New Romantic jim-jams, and also helmed seminal sides by Brian May, Corey Hart, The Vibrators, Kristy MacColl, and Hazel O’Connor, to cite a fringe few.
