“I NEVER CRY” by ALICE COOPER
Alice Cooper, is an American singer and songwriter who became a prominent figure in the rock music scene during the 1970s.
He is credited as one of the pioneers of shock rock, with his on-stage persona being characterized by dark and macabre themes (often featuring guillotines, fake blood, and other theatrical elements).
Some of the songs that made Alice Cooper famous include “I’m Eighteen”, “School’s Out”, “Only Women Bleed”, “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, and “Poison” (to name just a few).
Known for his unique impact in the hard rock scene, Alice Cooper was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (in the year 2011).
On this very day, February 4th, 1948, he was born in Detroit, Michigan, as Vincent Damon Furnier.
