A hack for the East London Advertiser who swapped deadlines for limousines, Steve Harley remains a hero to desk job dreamers everywhere. After forming the glam rock band Cockney Rebel in 1972, he wrote his own headlines for the next few years, and 1975’s The Best Years Of Our Lives found Harley effectively a solo artist, although he persisted with the "& Cockney Rebel" part of the band name for a while.
