Vince Taylor
Vince Taylor (born Brian Maurice Holden; 14 July 1939 – 28 August 1991), was a British rock and roll singer and songwriter. As the lead singer of Vince Taylor and His Playboys, sometimes called Vince Taylor and the Playboys, he was successful primarily in France and other parts of continental Europe during the late 1950s and early 1960s, afterwards falling into obscurity amidst personal problems and drug abuse. He is best remembered for his 1959 song "Brand New Cadillac", which the Clash covered on their album London Calling. He was the inspiration for David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust character, according to Bowie.
