70s Artist Watch: Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel


Steve's first hit was "Sebastian " in 1973,but the bigger hit "Judy Teen" was to come in 1974.
Judy Teen lyrics
Steve Harley: "When the first album came out, the record company said, 'We don't have a single.' And I said very arrogantly, 'I'll write one, I know how to do it.' That's exactly what I said and exactly what I did. Now I think - what an arrogant young man, fearless! Judy Teen was a boy/girl story, a teenage romance, a bit of sex in there, interesting drum rhythm, hooks all over the place - lo and behold big hit!
