My Take

Adam Ant is, for me, the perfect embodiment of how new wave fused sound and spectacle. Stuart Goddard, art-school trained, understood that pop in the early eighties was as much about the eye as the ear, and his pirate-dandy look proved it. Ten UK top ten hits and three number ones in just a few years is no fluke; that is a man who knew exactly what audiences wanted before they did. I appreciate artists who treat image as a craft rather than a costume, and he committed totally. He also kept acting along the way, which tells you he saw performance as one continuous art.

Overview

Stuart Leslie Goddard (born 3 November 1954), known professionally as Adam Ant, is an English musician and actor. He gained popularity as the lead singer of new wave group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring 10 UK top ten hits from 1980 to 1983, including three UK No. 1 singles.
