Happy 75th birthday, Shakin' Stevens! He was born Michael Barratt in Cardiff on 4th March 1948.
It's over 40 years since his first number one, This Ole House, in 1981, followed up with Green Door and Merry Christmas Everyone. The Welsh Elvis was born.
Shaky still shows no sign of slowing down. Fresh from guesting on Status Quo's arena tour last year, he has just released a new single, It All Comes Round, to be followed by a new album, Re-Set, on 28th April.
‘Music's in my blood and besides, I'm not one to sit around all day – I'm certainly not looking to retire at all,' Shaky told the Old Un.
He's planning to go on the road again later in the year. Now living in Marlow, he is still in good shape.
