The
charismatic frontman of pop group Pulp, Cocker鈥檚 road to fame and
fortune has been a long one.
It
took Pulp almost 16 years before they hit the big time with their
1995 album release Different Class.
Suddenly
the world could not get enough of Cocker and his band, and a series
of hit records was the group鈥檚 reward for years of hard work.
Indeed,
during that heady period in the mid 90s, signature tunes like Common
People and Sorted For E's & Wizz seemed to perfectly
represent the mood of an adolescent nation.
Cocker
- who was born in Sheffield in 1963 - took to fame like a duck to
water, proving a brilliant showman despite an outwardly shy persona.
Infamy
was assured when Cocker stormed onto the stage at the 1996 Brit
Awards to stage a one-man protest against Michael Jackson.
Although
Pulp have since failed to scale the heights of 1995 with two follow-up
albums, Cocker - who now lives in London - remains one of pop鈥檚
most engaging characters.
