Adam Ant Artist Bio and Lyrics
In the early 1980's Adam Ant recruited friend Marco Pirroni to form the lineup, sound and image of the band, now featuring two drummers and pirate dress. This new look was used to market the album Kings of the Wild Frontier.
Adam and the Ants popularity grew, and their second album Prince Charming was very successful, with three top-ten singles in the UK. After the Ants broke up, Adam Ant went solo. His greatest album success was Friend or Foe in 1982. The album included the hit song "Goody Two Shoes" which made it to Number 1 in the UK and #12 on the US charts. Adam Ant worked with Phil Collins on the Strip album in 1983. The song "Puss 'N Boots" reached #5 on the UK charts. The BBC banned both the video and the song for the second single "Strip.". Adam Ant worked with producer Tony Visconti on the Vive Le Rock album in 1985. He scored a spot at the Live Aid concert, but was only given the chance to play one song. The disappointing sales of the single and album Vive Le Rock caused Adam Ant to take a break to focus on acting in the mid to late 1980's. |
