"The Right Stuff" is a song by Bryan Ferry, the former lead vocalist for Roxy Music.

[2][3][4][5][6] The song was co-written by Johnny Marr and adapted from "Money Changes Everything", the Smiths' instrumental B-side to "Bigmouth Strikes Again".

When Marr was asked about the collaboration in a 1989 interview with Sonics he said "He [Ferry] didn’t know who I was.

Bryan Ferry was an old hero of mine and it was great to work with him, but the end result was…he’s a bit blow-waved.

"[7] Guy Pratt, who played bass with Ferry during this period tells it differently in his book.
