As the leading figure in Mott, but facing ill-health and disillusioned with commercial success, he embarked on a solo career, often in collaboration with Mott's final guitarist Mick Ronson, who was well-known as David Bowie's sideman and arranger from the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars period.

Mott fhe Hoople achieved a certain level of commercial success and a small but devoted fan base. As a solo artist Hunter at times made the charts while most consistently releasing lesser-known but more wide-ranging works outside the rock mainstream. Among his best-known solo records are "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Cleveland Rocks," made famous from a cover version on The Drew Carey Show, an American TV series. " Cleveland Rocks " is a rock song written by Ian Hunter and appearing on his 1979 album You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic. The Drew Carey Show is an American Sitcom (set in Cleveland Ohio) that aired on ABC from 1995 to 2004

Early years

Hunter's entry into the music business came after a chance encounter with Colin York and Colin Broom at Butlin's Holiday Camp, where the trio won a talent competition performing "Blue Moon" on acoustic guitars. This article is about the astronomical phenomenon For other uses see Blue Moon (disambiguation. [2] York and Broom were members of a Northampton-based band called The Apex Group, fronted by bass player and band leader Frank Short. Ian soon left his home in Shrewsbury, transferred his apprenticeship from Sentinel/Rolls Royce to British Timpken in Northampton, and joined The Apex Group on rhythm guitar. Ian recalls jumping around like a lunatic on stage: "Music affected me so much. The rest of them just stood there. It was funny, I had kids who came just to watch me do this, and I can't imagine what it looked like. " [2]

Hunter left The Apex Group in 1958, just before they recorded their first single "Yorkshire Relish, Caravan" for John Lever Records. [3] (Lever, the owner of a local record shop, had recently joined as the band's drummer). Ian kicked around in a few local groups, but eventually his financial situation forced a change. "I wasn't making my hire-purchase payments, and 'little jobs' were getting done and people were getting smacked. I was never in the middle of it, but I was always somewhere in the area. "[2] He returned to Shrewsbury, ostensibly to become more responsible in his personal life, and settled down enough to have a steady girlfriend in Diane Coles. Outside his day job with McGowans fruit and vegetable company, he formed a harmonica duo with Tony Wardle, inspired by Morton Fraser's Harmonica Gang, a local variety act.

Once out of debt and seemingly settled, Ian returned to Northampton and The Apex Group. Diane soon followed and the two married and settled in St James End. Their first child, Stephen, was born there in 1962. Tensions were in the air though, both musically and in his personal life. While his wife attended to home life, Hunter resumed his wild ways with his Northampton mates.

Although The Apex Group had steady regional work at clubs and military bases, Hunter eventually bristled at the formality of The Apex Group, who wore matching stage jackets and were moving increasingly toward an R&B-like stage review. So in 1963, while still a group member, Ian formed his own band in direct competition to them: Hurricane Henry and the Shriekers, with Tony Marriott on drums and Julian Coulter on guitar. They worked steadily in Northampton and eventually attracted the attention of pianist and frontman Freddie 'Fingers' Lee. Lee joined in March 1964 and Ian moved from frontman to bass player. Eventually, Frank Short learned of Hunter's duplicity and he was kicked out of The Apex Group.

It was during this period - late 1963 or early 1964 - that The Apex recorded a second disc for John Lever records, released as The Apex Rhythm & Blues All Stars. The four-song EP included their own "Tall Girl", and covers of Chuck Berry's "Reeling and A'Rocking", "Down the Road A'piece", also recorded by Berry and later The Rolling Stones, and "Sugar Shack" by Jimmy Gilmer and The Fireballs. An extended play ( EP) is a Vinyl record, CD, or Music download which contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18 1926 in St Hunter probably does not appear on this record; the EP was recorded around the time Hunter left the group for the second time. [4]

At Freddie Lee's suggestion, The Shriekers began taking jobs in Germany, playing the same clubs where the Beatles had cut their teeth a few years earlier. In an interview taped in 2004 Hunter volunteers that Lee and their gigs in Hamburg were a major turning point, when he first began to "think maybe I could do this instead of working in factories. Hamburg (English, German: ˈhambʊɐk local pronunciation Low German / Low Saxon: Hamborg) is the second-largest city in Germany "[5]

In 1966 Hunter moved to London, where he joined The Scenery with guitarist Miller Anderson, drummer Dave Dufort, and keyboard player Dante Smith. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. Within a year Anderson introduced Hunter to another guitarist, Mick Ronson, whom Hunter would later collaborate with a great deal since Ian was keen on Mick when he first met him. Ian first saw Mick when Miller took him to see Ronson's band, the Voice at the Swan public house in Tottenham. A few months later Hunter and Ronson actually met when Anderson introduced them when Mick was playing in another band, The Rats, at the Flamingo Club in London. According to Anderson, "Mick was coming down the stairs . . . and we were going up and I said, `Mick, this is my friend, Ian Patterson. '"[6] By 1967 Smith and Dufort had left The Scenery while John Vernon Smith joined on drums. The Scenery recorded some material with Bill Farley at Regent Sound, but without knowing about a release, two Scenery tracks were licensed overseas. Hunter and Anerson both remember writing and recording "To Make a Man Cry," but neither artist recalls the B-side "Thread of Time. " Scenery drummer John Vernon Smith appears on the picture sleeve, but Johnny Banks from The Merseybeats played on the record. Miller recollects that Johnny Gustafson was also included in the session work. Released on the Impact label, it is unclear whether they originated from France or Belgium. Both are marked BIEM, which administered royalties in both countries prior to the formation of SACEM in France (1972) and SABAM in Belgium. The Impact label appears to have issued records in both countries. [7] In any case, by early 1968, The Scenery had run its course and Miller Anderson joined Dave Dufort in Paper Blitz Tissue.

By 1968 Hunter remained in the band to back up Freddie Lee in the At Last The 1958 Rock and Roll Show, along with drummer Pete Philips and guitarist Chris Mayfield. The group got a regular booking at The Angel in Edmonton, and drew interest from both Chrysalis Records and NEMS but the group was never signed by either. Chrysalis Records was a British Record label that was created in 1969 Mayfield was replaced by the ever travelling Miller Anderson, and the group released a single on CBS called "I Can't Drive. " As the short-lived rock and roll revival began to wane, At Last the 1958 Rock and Roll Show changed its name to Charlie Woolfe and released a final single, "Dance, Dance, Dance". Rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll) is a form of Music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s with roots in mostly African

Hunter played sporadically with various other artists throughout the 1960s, including The Young Idea, Billy Fury and David McWilliams. The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969 Billy Fury (born Ronald William Wycherley, 17 April 1940 - 28 January, 1983) was an internationally successful British David McWilliams ( 4 July, 1945 - 8 January, 2002) was an Northern Irish Singer, Songwriter, and Guitarist In late 1968 Mickie Most hired Hunter and Dufort to play in a band that was to be called "The New Yardbirds" -- a name that Jimmy Page had been using for his post-Yardbirds group before discarding it in favor of "Led Zeppelin". Mickie Most, born Michael Peter Hayes ( 20 June 1938 – 30 May 2003 was a successful English Record producer, with a string of Number One James Patrick Page, OBE (born 9 January 1944 is an English Guitarist, Composer and record producer The Yardbirds are an English rock band noted for starting the careers of three of rock's most famous Guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck Led Zeppelin were This led confused fans to think Hunter had been a member of Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin were Explained Hunter: "See this is rubbish, but people read it and believe it. "[8] Hunter also worked as a journalist and staff songwriter for the firm Francis, Day & Hunter (no relation). A journalist (also called a newspaperman) is a person who practices Journalism, the gathering and dissemination of information about current events trends A songwriter is someone who writes the Lyrics to songs the Musical composition (chords or Melody to songs or both Other jobs he took during these years included road-digging for a local council, and reporting for a local newspaper. A newspaper is a written Publication containing News, information and Advertising, usually printed on low-cost paper called Newsprint. During the same early years of Hunter's obscurity, Hereford's Shakedown Sound gigged in roughly the same circles as Ian but without any sort record company interest at all. [9] Ian and the band were to meet up presently.

Mott the Hoople years

By 1969 Hunter had two children, but he was still hoping for a return to making music full time. Meanwhile, guitarist Mick Ralphs joined organist Verden Allen in Jimmy Cliff's backing band, The Shakedown Sound. Mick Ralphs (born Michael Geoffrey Ralphs, 31 March 1944 in Stoke Lacy Hereford) is an English Guitarist and Songwriter Eventually Ralphs, Allen, vocalist Stan Tippins, bassist Overend Watts, and drummer Dale Griffin united to become Silence, who auditioned for British impresario Guy Stevens. Silence soon renamed themselves after a novel by Willard Manus, published in 1966: Mott the Hoople. Willard Manus is a Los Angeles -based novelist playwright and journalist [10] Lacking a credible singer with stage presence according to Stevens, the band auditioned a considerably seasoned Hunter, who auditioned for the band on a lark. By this time Hunter had taken to wearing the sunglasses that have long since become his trademark (photos of him without his "shades" are rare). The band was a critical success in the UK; some of the earliest and most dedicated early fans of the band included future members of the Clash. [11] However, they could not sustain their commercial appeal, and their early American tours on the east and west coasts were slow in building a following. After releasing several LPs, Mott attracted enthusiastic live audiences but dismal sales despite the svengali-like leadership and promotion of their manager, Guy Stevens. [12] After a dreary 1972 concert in a "gas cylinder" in Switzerland, the band announced their end. Switzerland (English pronunciation; Schweiz Swiss German: Schwyz or Schwiiz Suisse Svizzera Svizra officially the Swiss Confederation

David Bowie, a fan of the band, offered them a song he had just written. David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger. As Hunter recalled in a 2004 DVD interview, "He offered us "Suffragette City", which I didn't think was good enough. DVD (also known as " Digital Versatile Disc " or " Digital Video Disc " - see Etymology)is “ Suffragette City ” is a single by David Bowie. Recorded towards the end of the Ziggy Stardust sessions “Suffragette City” is a trademark piece And then he sat down on the floor, Regent Street it was, in a publisher's office, and plays 'All The Young Dudes' on an acoustic guitar. " All the Young Dudes " is a song written by David Bowie, originally recorded and released as a single by Mott the Hoople in 1972 "[13] It shot to No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart and Mott had new life. The UK Singles Chart is compiled by The Official UK Charts Company (OCC on behalf of the British record industry The band generally were appreciative of Bowie who had rescued them from an early demise. The guitarist Mick Ralphs relates that Bowie taught Mott studio tricks, but one of the best-known sounds during the period was a 'hand-clap-in-the-toilet' routine that relied more on Hunter's vision than it did on Bowie's clearly more experienced studio abilities. [14] Mick Ronson, Bowie's guitarist, also significantly contributed to Mott's sound, a fact noticed by Hunter who would later collaborate a great deal with him, although Ian had actually met Mick years before in a pre-Bowie band. [15]

The post-Bowie Mott the Hoople then had notable commercial success with the albums All the Young Dudes (1972, produced by Bowie); Mott (1973) and The Hoople (1974). All the Young Dudes is an album by Mott the Hoople, released in 1972 The band began to score financially with songs such as "Roll Away The Stone," "Golden Age of Rock ´n´ Roll," "Honaloochie Boogie," "All The Way From Memphis," "Saturday Gigs," and especially "All The Young Dudes. " Hunter chronicled the highs and lows of touring in his self-penned, "Diary of A Rock 'n' Roll Star," his journal of a chaotic five-week American tour in November - December 1972. [16] When in 1973 original lead guitarist Mick Ralphs left to form Bad Company, Hunter began to play guitar until a replacement could be found but at the same time he was increasingly pressured to write hits for the band. Mick Ralphs (born Michael Geoffrey Ralphs, 31 March 1944 in Stoke Lacy Hereford) is an English Guitarist and Songwriter Bad Company are an English Blues rock supergroup founded in 1973 consisting of band members from Free ( Paul Rodgers, Simon Luther Grosvenor took over as lead guitarist. Luther James Grosvenor (born 23 December 1946 in Evesham, Worcestershire) is an English Rock musician, who played Grosvenor, aka Ariel Bender, was briefly replaced by Mick Ronson after the release of a live album following The Hoople. Mick Ronson (26 May 1946 &ndash 29 April 1993 was an English Guitarist, Composer, Multi-instrumentalist, Arranger and producer However, Hunter left the band in December 1974. The remaining members carried on under the names Mott and British Lions. Hunter's memoir of the road, Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star, detailing a U.S. tour with Mott the Hoople is considered one of most important rock road diaries to date and has been re-printed numerous times. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the

After Mott

In March 1975 Hunter joined forces with Mick Ronson, formerly the leading member of David Bowie's backing band The Spiders from Mars and a member of Mott the Hoople for a brief time. David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger.

During his solo career Hunter most frequently worked with Ronson until the latter's death in 1993. In 1983, Mick traveled to Canada to produce a third album, Hammer On A Drum, for the Payolas. Hunter provided backing vocals on one of the tracks and Ronson contributed keyboards and vocals. [17] Hunter has also had musical connections with many other artists, including Queen, Mick Jones (The Clash), Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, Jaco Pastorius, Dennis Elliot (Foreigner), and David Bowie. Queen were an English rock band formed in 1970 in London by guitarist Michael Geoffrey "Mick" Jones (born 26 June 1955 was the lead Guitarist and a vocalist of the British Punk rock band The Clarence Clemons (born January 11, 1942) is an American Musician, best known as the Saxophonist in Bruce Springsteen 's John Francis Anthony "Jaco" Pastorius III (December 1 1951–September 21 1987 was a American Jazz Musician and Composer widely Foreigner is a rock band formed in New York City in 1976 by veteran musicians Mick Jones and ex- King Crimson member Ian McDonald, David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger.
