Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice, better known by his stage name Steve Harley, was an English singer and songwriter, best known as frontman of the glam rock group Cockney Rebel. He scored five UK hit singles with the band in the mid-1970s including "Judy Teen", "Mr. Soft" and the number one "Make Me Smile".
For all his 'singlemindedness' he was human, humble and honest. He never forgot his fans.
We asked him once who Judy Teen was, and he replied that "she's whatever you want her to be." You made us happy Steve.
I remember seeing him at the Jazz Cafe in 1998 (about 2 weeks after my daughter was born, I recall). Steve asked if there were ‘any requests’. My mate shouted out ‘Crazy Raver’. Steve replied, with a smile ‘you can fuck off, I’m not that young anymore’.
Im American,late to Steves music (about 10 ,years) and i love his songs,gteat talent....RIP Steve.
Loved his songs in the 70s. Knew all the words. Still got the cassette tapes of his albums. And took my daughter to see him in the early 2020s
50 years after he first started. Not many artists you can do that with. I wish I had taken my daughter, she loves his lyrics. 🥲
