Shakin' Stevens

Revealing documentary about the life, career and achievements of Michael Barratt, aka Shakin' Stevens, the most successful UK singles chart performer of the 1980s.

Shakin' Stevens holds the distinction of being the most successful UK singles chart performer of a decade (beating Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and Madonna); an honour shared with The Beatles (1960s) and Elton John (1970s). He charted no fewer than 30 top 30 hit singles in ten years and, to date, has spent nearly 9 years in the UK charts. But despite his incredible UK and international achievements, a biographical documentary on his life and career has never been made. This documentary tells his story for the first time.
