It's the Mod Father.

49                           PAUL WELLER

Born 25th May 1958 in Woking, Surrey, England. Paul Weller is easily one of the most influential song writers that Britain has ever produced from a teenager fronting the Jam, where he became known as The Mod Father, through to him being called the leader of the Brit Pop scene of the mid 90's. In between this he'd become obsessed with soul music and formed The Style Council but after initial success they couldn't sustain it and Paul Weller in 1990 couldn't get a record deal, until he launched his critically acclaimed solo career.
