My Take
Alvin Stardust fascinates me as a study in reinvention. Born Bernard Jewry, he first chased fame as Shane Fenton in the pre-Beatles years, scoring modest UK hits before vanishing and re-emerging entirely rebranded. That a single change of persona could resurrect a career says everything about the theatre of pop. I respect that he wasn't only a singer but a durable stage actor too, working steadily for decades. The leather-and-gloves glam image is iconic British kitsch, but underneath it was a genuine survivor who understood showmanship better than most.
