Chanteur Rock 'n' Roll Britannique né Robert Podsiadly.
Rocky
Sharpe is the pseudonym of an English rock/pop singer who, with Rocky Sharpe and
the Replays, first found fame in the late 1970s. The usual line-up of the group
was Rocky (real name Robert Podsiadly), Helen Highwater (real name Helen Blizard),
Johnny Stud (Rocky's brother Jan) and Eric Rondo (Mike Vernon). An earlier
incarnation of the group, Rocky Sharpe and the Razors, contained Den Hegarty and
Rita Ray who later formed Darts.
It was in 1978 that the group enjoyed their first commercial success with "Rama
Lama Ding Dong", covered from The Edsels original hit, which reached number 17
in the UK Singles Chart. More chart success quickly followed with another
single, "Imagination", which reached number 39 in 1979. But after this, success
was more difficult to find, and Sharpe was to find greater success on the
touring circuit than in the best-sellers charts.
It was not until 1982 that Sharpe would find himself with another major hit. "Shout!
Shout! (Knock Yourself Out)" proved to be a success with music fans and reached
the Top 20 in the UK Singles Chart. Although he never had another hit as big
again, Sharpe retained a fan following and his music remained widely available.
The group's last chart single was "If You Wanna Be Happy", which reached UK
chart position 46 in 1983.
