Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard, 3 November 1954, Marylebone, London) is an English musician, who gained popularity as the lead singer of New Wave/post-punk group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring ten UK top ten hits between 1979 and 1983, including three No.1s. Goddard was also a star in America where he not only scored a string of hit singles and albums, but was once voted sexiest man in America by the viewers of MTV. He is also an actor, having appeared in two dozen films or television episodes between 1985 and 1999. Goddard was born an only child in Marylebone. One of the themes he used in his later work - suppressed minorities - was part of his inheritance; he is of Romnichal stock. His maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was a full-blooded Romany. Home was two rooms in De Walden buildings, St John's Wood. He recalls "There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table." His father, Leslie Goddard, worked as a chauffeur and his mother, Kathleen Smith, was a domestic cleaner, briefly working for Paul McCartney.
Classic pop that still sounds great! Adam & The Ants were the first band I loved, (and the handsome Adam was my first crush!) I still love his music, (brings back great memories!) and have even gained a new love and appreciation for it recently having heard some great remixes of my favourites. And I LOVE the live versions that are being played here... it's just a pity they're not available for download!
