Shakin’ Stevens, born Michael Barratt, is a Welsh singer and songwriter. He was born on March 4, 1948, in Cardiff, Wales. His recording and performing career began in the late 1960s, although it was not until 1980 that his commercial success began. He was the UK’s biggest-selling singles artist of the 1980s, with 33 Top 40 hit singles including four chart-topping hits “This Ole House”, “Green Door”, “Oh Julie”, and “Merry Christmas Everyone”. His most successful songs were nostalgia hits, evoking the sound of 1950s rock and roll and pop.
Stevens was associated with the Young Communist League (YCL), the youth wing of the Communist Party of Great Britain through playing at YCL events in the late 1960s. At the time the YCL was associated with several leading music industry figures, including Pete Townshend. However, Stevens has stated that this was because the individual in charge of booking the band’s gigs was also a member of the organisation.
Stevens has been married to Carole Dunn since 1980.
