"Over You" is a song by English rock band
Over You was also the third and final single by Roxy Music to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It entered the Hot 100 at No.84 on August 6, 1980 and peaked at No. 80 the following week.[8]
Phil Manzanera recalls: "In 1979, I had just built my first recording studio and I rang up Bryan and asked if he’d like to check it out. We decided to have a jam together, Bryan on bass and me on guitar with a rhythm box. Within five minutes we had written this track and it reached number three [sic] in the charts."[9]
In most European countries, the B-side release on the single was a re-recording of the title track of their 1979 LP
