	VH1.com : David Essex : Biography
		Essex went through 10 flop singles, and decided to try acting instead -- by then, he was juggling appearances in small productions and the responsibilities of a marriage (and pregnant wife), and earning his living driving trucks and cleaning windows.
		Essex's producer on all of these singles and the accompanying albums was Jeff Wayne, a transplant from America who had some composer and arranger credits associated with West End theater and commercials.
		This was one of the reasons, beyond his voice and talent, that Essex's early singles, though essentially 70's teen pop, seemed to command such attention and respect from the rock press, far outstripping the impact of earlier practioners such as the Herd and most of his contemporary rivals.

	David Essex: Nostalgia
		David Essex is mostly remembered on American shores for his one chart hit, the moody “Rock On.” However, this fact only scratches the surface of an amazing career.
		Essex is regarded as a superstar in his native England, where he made the transition from teen idol to serious actor and all-around entertainer.
		David Essex got a new record contract in 1973 as a result of his acting popularity and soon had a U.K. hit with “Rock On.” This song had Essex slickly delivering a nostalgia-oriented lyric that dropped 50’s references like James Dean ("Jimmy Dean...James Dean, Rock on!") and Blue Suede Shoes over a calypso beat.

		David Essex was something of a one-hit wonder in America, reaching the Top Five with the gold single "Rock On" in 1974, but he was one of Britain's top teen-idol sensations and later graduated to an acting career in both theater and film.
		Essex began his musical career playing drums for an amateur band called the Everons and switched to singing during the mid-'60s, recording a series of unsuccessful singles.
		However, Essex was unable to shed his teen-idol image as a singer, and his chart placings dropped as his fans' age increased.

	David Essex : Hot Love - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		By 1980, David Essex seemed more comfortable on the theater stage (from whence, to all intents and purposes, he'd come) than in fulfilling his recording contract.
		The mood of the album is generally closer to the "Rock On"/"Lamplight" ideal that his old fans still yearned for than anything he'd done in recent years, with "Swim Against the Flow" emerging as another of the portentous epics that Essex is occasionally prone to come out with.
		Equally fascinatingly, Essex's vocal is pitched perfectly to show how much David Bowie, too, lifted from Ray Davies.

		With the title track instantaneously established among the defining songs of the 1970s (not to mention David Essex [+]'s own career), the singing actor's first album had a lot to live up to.
		Another cover, Travis Pritchett [+]'s "Tell Him No," is especially persuasive, its lyric drawing such emotion out of Essex's voice that it overcomes even the heavy effects and canyon-like echo with which his tones are normally swamped -- yes, Virginia, the boy can sing.
		But next time somebody suggests that all you really need of Essex is a decent greatest-hits collection, remember that the chirpy love songs and heartaching ballads of later years had to start somewhere.

		The other 2 are imports - in my own personal opinion the 2nd one is the better of the 2 (but then I am a die hard Essex fan and love most of the tracks - it is a double album and consequently the most expensive).
		David played drums on one song for us at Dartford when we were backing Herbie.
		I like the way all 4 members mingle with the fans b4 Dave goes on stage.I saw Dave {buying coffee}in the bar at Chayham last week and he kindly posed with me for a photo.b illiant musicians and great on stage personalities.Keep up the good work.

	A Dead Man in Essex By David Edelstein
		It revolves around Stuart (David Coffey), who isn't really in it: He died in a boating accident before it opens and is only glimpsed in silent home movies.
		Somber farmer Dan is married to Stuart's sister, Judy (Ellie Haddington); doleful cuddle-bear Nick was Stuart's lover and restaurant partner; and carrot-haired party-animal Tim was a close childhood friend who'd been AWOL from their Essex village for eight years.
		I suppose it's part of the point that none of these men is as lively and fun as Stuart was: Lawless Heart is about what happens when the life of the party leaves and the others must suddenly fill the vacuum.
