JENNY DUNCAN, PETER MOSS, JOHN ELSTAR, MADELINE BELL, RON CHARLES

One of the most colorful characters in the annals of rock & roll, Kim Fowley was, over the course of his decades-long career, a true jack-of-all-trades: singer, songwriter, producer, manager, disc jockey, promoter, and published poet. He was also the catalyst behind much of the pop music to emerge from the Los Angeles area during the 1960s and '70s, guiding several of his associates and protégés to fame and fortune, while remaining himself a shadowy cult figure well outside the margins of the mainstream.

After the purposefully dirty proto-punk onslaught of I'm Bad, Kim Fowley shifted gears into something less outwardly off-putting on 1973's International Heroes. The album has often been described as Fowley's glam rock effort, though the addled folk-rock of the arrangements (banjos, accordions, and even pennywhistles bob in and out of the mix) has a good bit more to do with Hunky Dory-era David Bowie than the electric swagger of Ziggy Stardust or the more proletarian sounds of Slade and the Sweet...(AllMusic)
