 Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel - Wikipedia
Cockney Rebel war eine erfolgreiche britische Glam-Rock-Band in den 1970er Jahren um den charismatischen Sänger Steve Harley.
Die Band nannte sich anfangs nur Cockney Rebel (Diskografie dort) und erst ab dem dritten Album Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, was der großen Egozentrik von Harley zu verdanken war.
Harley verfolgte später noch eine relativ bis mäßig erfolgreiche Solokarriere, die bis heute anhält, da auch 2005 wieder eine Deutschlandtournee stattfindet (Diskografie dort).

 Steve Harley/Cockney Rebel
Harley's presence and vision were what actually gelled the music together; despite all the hodge-podge of influences, it's almost impossible to mistake a Cockney Rebel song for something else, mostly due to Harley's, er, well, cockney accent and charismatic delivery.
Steve Harley was a smart and wiseass guy, and he certainly did not intend to fit nicely and smoothly into any of the already existing musical categories.
Harley's newly-found love for funky rhythms is amply demonstrated on 'White White Dove', Harley's weird ode to Rosicrucians, of all people, with a very nice transition from the harsh funky verses to the pompous brass-filled poppy chorus and, again, an excellent processed guitar solo from Cregan at the end.

Subject to ruthless dissection, Steve Harley`s lyrics are essentially nonsense, a stream of disconnected images whose most gallant achievement is that they usually rhyme.
Though Harley has furiously decried the band`s historical inclusion in the Glam Rock pack, there`s no separating the nocturnal theatrics of "Muriel The Actor," "Mirror Freak" or "What Ruthy Said" from at least the fringes of the movement.
And though Harley might not have been the first cultural genius of his age, he was the first who wasn`t content to simply zap the prevailing zeitgeist.
