A Welsh singer who found his audience in the early 1980s with guitar-driven songs that had a retro feel.
For a sense of his sound, try "Jezebel" or the later single "Baby If We Touch." They follow that same straightforward pattern.
He had a few songs that stuck around, like "Jezebel" and "Breaking Up My Heart." The sound was straightforward, guitar-driven pop with a retro feel. There was some chatter at the time about whether he was doing anything new, but the records found an audience.
He started out playing rock 'n' roll and pop. The early 1980s were his most visible period, with albums like 'Shakin' Stevens' and 'Give Me Your Heart Tonight' coming out in quick succession. He kept releasing records through the mid-80s, including 'A Rockin' Good Way' and 'Lipstick, Powder and Paint.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
