At twenty six it's Mike Chapman's writing partner who helped form the Glam Rock explosion of the seventies.
26 NICKY CHINN
Born 16th May 1945 in London, England. As one half of the 70's most successful writing partnership, the other half being Mike Chapman, they could lay claim to inventing Glam Rock or certainly being the main protagonist's. The advent of punk brought an end to their dominance, and after this his appearances in the charts become more and more fleeting. After the duo went their separate ways, Chapman found success as a producer, but Chinn disappeared into virtual obscurity.
