"Kiss and Tell" is a song by Bryan Ferry, the lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released as the second single from his seventh studio album Bête Noire in February 1988, being Ferry's twenty-sixth single. The song peaked at number 41 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 31 on the US Billboard 100, becoming his highest charting single. It also appears in the film Bright Lights, Big City (1988), adapted from the Jay McInerney novel.

Fans have often speculated that his song "Kiss and Tell", was Ferry's response to Jerry Hall's tell-all book about their relationship published a couple of years earlier.[4]

Music video

The song's main promotional video featured Mandy Smith and model Denice Lewis, whose photograph also adorns the single's cover sleeve.[5] The musicians Chester Kamen (Nick Kamen's brother) and Guy Pratt also appear in the video. Also featured is Christine Keeler.[6]
