by ZZ Top
Sharp Dressed Man was written by Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, written by the three ZZ Top members and released in 1983 on their album Eliminator. Mixing Texas blues‑rock guitars with sleek 1980s production and synthesizer touches, the song celebrates the allure of style and fashion in tongue‑in‑cheek lyrics about a well‑dressed man. Sharp Dressed Man became one of ZZ Top’s signature hits, boosted by a memorable MTV video, and has remained a classic‑rock radio staple and concert favorite for decades.
