Joe Jackson
Joe Jackson was a real oddity at the time, he was a classically trained musician who won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. His true love was jazz and classical so to suddenly become a pop star was strange. Joe said that his album Look Sharp ”positively reeks of London 1978 -1979.” I guess that is really what it was all about, a guy who just made some incredible songs at a time when people wanted to hear them.
