John Patler (born January 6, 1938) is an American neo-Nazi who assassinated American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell on August 25, 1967.

Patler was born John C. Patsalos in New York City to Greek parents. When Patler was five, his mother was shot and killed by his father, who was sent to Sing Sing Prison. He changed his name to Patler in 1960.

Patler served in the US Marine Corps from 1958 to 1960, when he was discharged honorably on grounds of "unsuitability" after being arrested at a Nazi Party rally.

He had been a captain in the American Nazi Party and was the editor and cartoonist for the party magazine, Stormtrooper. Patler was expelled from the party in March 1967 for alleged "Bolshevik leanings."

On August 25, 1967, George Rockwell was shot and killed by a sniper in a shopping center in Arlington, Virginia in his car. The weapon used was a 7.63mm Mauser pistol. Patler was arrested half an hour later a mile from the scene of the shooting. In December 1967, Patler was convicted of the murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Patler was paroled in 1975 after serving eight years.

Nik Kershaw (born Nicholas David Kershaw, 1 March 1958) is an English singer-songwriter. The one time jazz-funk guitarist was a 1980s teen idol. His 50 weeks on the UK Singles Chart in 1984 beat all other soloists. Kershaw appeared at Live Aid, and penned hits for Let Loose, The Hollies and a number 1 for Chesney Hawkes, "The One and Only".

Although born in Bristol, Kershaw grew up in Ipswich, Suffolk, and after leaving Northgate High School in 1976 worked as a shop assistant and in the Department of Employment for several years, during which time he played guitar and sang in a number of underground Ipswich bands. However, when the last of these, Fusion, split up in 1982, he embarked on a full time career as a songwriter and performer. In 1983, he signed a recording contract with MCA Records, a deal which spawned his debut single, "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me".

At the beginning of 1984, Kershaw released his breakthrough song "Wouldn't It Be Good", which reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Chart, and was a big success in Europe, particularly in Germany, Italy, Switzerland and in Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand. The music video, featuring Kershaw as a chroma key-suited alien, received heavy rotation by MTV, helping the song reach No.46 in the United States. He enjoyed three more Top 20 hits from his debut album Human Racing, including the title track and a successful re-issue of "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". This track ultimately proved his biggest hit as a performer when it reached Number 2 in the UK.
