@randomgeek I remember Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll from high school. His song, I mean. Recognized his name, light went on, but had to dig through to put his name to that song. It must have got air-play where I grew up, I guess.

@VE2UWY yep Sex and Drugs and Rock’n’Roll was the only one I remember hearing on the radio, on many stations.
The rest of it for me was 10-15 years ago, wondering else he’d done.

@randomgeek Wp article says single (actual vinyl single, dammit) only sold 19k copies? I guess I should check the citation - can't be right.

@VE2UWY I wouldn't have become aware of it until the early to mid-80s, and didn't hear it with any frequency until the early 90s.
