Burning The Ground Exclusive 1988
Limbo” is a song by English singer Bryan Ferry, the former lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released as the third and final single from his seventh album Bête Noire in 1988, and was his twenty-seventh single. The song failed to enjoy as much success as the two previous singles from the album; it peaked at No. 86 on the UK Singles Chart. It also appears in the ill-fated film Big Time, starring Paul Guilfoyle.
The song, like the other singles released from the album (“The Right Stuff” and “Kiss and Tell”), features The Smiths’ lead guitarist Johnny Marr.
The song was co-produced by Patrick Leonard, who was recognized as co-writer and producer of many of Madonna’s songs from the earlier half of her career.
The promotional video for the song was directed by style and fashion guru Michael Roberts, a longtime friend of Ferry. The models are Nathaly Coualy and Regina Monte.
