Elsewhere, Stevens dips deeper into a rootsier sound and richer seam of lyric writing than may be expected. Lead single It All Comes Around is a great example and only a couple of times do the post-pandemic themes slip into cliché.

UK Based Afro-Soul Artist Kobi Mex Continues His Successful 2023 With New Single ‘Wombolombo’ 01/11/2023 It’s the same one I wore on my first appearance on Top Of The Pops when I did This Ole House. It’s shrunk a bit and it’s seriously ripped up, but I can still get into it.” And there’s no ego with me. I’m just a down-to-earth, ordinary guy who wants to connect with my audience, whether that’s with the old hits or with my new songs.” My wife Sue, who is also my manager, was with me. She had to speak to some TV people, so she left me alone in the dressing room. Over the years I’ve had a trainer and a nutritionist. I also lift weights now, once a week. And I try to keep as far away from stress as possible.”It’s fair to say that, had Elvis Presley’s life continued, then my life might have taken a different path,” admits Shaky, who stayed in the stage role for 19 months, before parting company with the Sunsets. On ‘Re-Set’, those personal tales weave into an interconnected narrative about our collective place in the modern world, both real and virtual. There are songs about the plight of his ancestors, the uncle he never knew, and his own mother, who had a very difficult life, but nevertheless raised 13 children almost singlehandedly, while also holding down a job. But the album is also firmly rooted in the present day, as a call to arms about our planet and what we’re doing to it, and to each other. Forty-two years after that first number one – three more chart toppers and 33 top 40 hits followed, including festive favourite Merry Christmas Everyone – Shaky is celebrating the release of his new single, a rootsy, spiky observation on global inequality called All You Need Is Greed.

Multi-Faceted Musician, Songwriter, And Producer, DJ Jubril B Brings Us His Highly Anticipated EP, ‘Something/U R IN’ 01/11/2023People used to travel from all over the world to see me perform, places like Poland and Germany. The last time I toured we had people from Brazil who hired a car and went from city to city to watch me.” Compared to his octogenarian countryman Tom Jones, who regularly performed amidst a flurry of underwear flung on stage by fanatical female devotees, Shaky’s followers were generally less frenzied. A decade later, another unlikely fan emerged in the orange-haired form of anarchic Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten. “He was being interviewed on some TV show and said at the end of the chat, ‘Right, I’ve done this interview, I’m effing off to see Shakin’ Stevens’.

I’m not pointing the finger. I’m not judging. I’m just observing,” he says. “Although I do believe that lyrics are very important, if you haven’t got a tune to go with them, then you’ve had it.”

The sax player would throw his sax in the air and keep pretending to play it until he caught it, and I used to run across the bar during shows. I’m not sure,” he says. “It’s been fun wearing them today, but I don’t think you’ll see me in those jeans on stage again. He is also very cautious about his most valuable asset. “I’m delighted that I can still belt out the songs, but I’m careful with my voice. I exercise my vocal cords, and I’m much more careful about how I handle myself on stage now.” Just before Christmas last year, he supported Status Quo in concert. His perennial favourite Merry Christmas Everyone “went down a storm”. They were very down-to-earth, lovely guys and I remember going out for a drink at The Ivy afterwards, where the price of a glass of red wine was extortionate.
