Shakin' Stevens (2012x208)

Air date: May 08, 2012

Shakin' Stevens holds the distinction of being the most successful UK singles chart performer of a decade (beating Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and Madonna); an honour shared with The Beatles (1960s) and Elton John (1970s). He charted no fewer than 30 top 30 hit singles in ten years and, to date, has spent nearly 9 years in the UK charts. But despite his incredible UK and international achievements, a biographical documentary on his life and career has never been made. This documentary tells his story for the first time.
