David Essex, OBE (born David Albert Cook; 23 July 1947) is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and actor. Since the 1970s, he has attained 19 Top 40 singles in the UK (including two number ones) and 16 Top 40 albums. He has also had an extensive career as an actor.
Essex was born in Plaistow, West Ham, London. His father, Albert, was an East End docker and his mother, Olive (née Kemp), was a self-taught pianist and an Irish Traveller, descended from Romany Gypsies. His grandfather, Thomas Kemp, was named "Philimore", which was the anglicised version of "Philly Mor" - being Irish for "Big Philly". Essex was two years old when his parents moved out of the overcrowded home the family was sharing with relatives, to Canning Town where he grew up.
Essex attended Star Lane Primary School. He loved playing football and did not answer any of the questions in the Eleven plus exam for entry into a grammar school, so that he could ensure he attended Shipman County Secondary School where he knew they played the game. He was also a member of West Ham United Juniors for a while and dreamed of one day being a professional player. He then also became interested in music and played drums with a local band, before becoming a singer. In his teens he moved to Marks Gate near Chadwell Heath and Romford in Essex.

Another live performance of this song. Probably around '76.
Second part of a pair, the first being "That'll Be The Day" Having made it in the rock buisness. This shows the darker side of excessive headanism. David Essex is engaging as the rock star and the film has its merits and I'm a fan. So this is put up with no intention to upset any copyright and if required I will remove. Thank-you

Ah look what they've done to the rock'n'roll clown
Ah rock'n'roll clown, look he's down on the ground
Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n roll king is down
Roll on up, won't you come and take a look at me
Roll on up, come one at a time, and see me
See my painted-on grin as a stand up to sing
In a stardust ring, hey rock'n'roll king is down
But he's the leader of the band
He is a lonely man
Don't you wanna take his hand
Yes you know you can, can, can
Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust ring, hey rock'n'roll king is down
In a stardust ring, hey rock'n'roll king is down
