Gilbert O'Sullivan
Gilbert O'Sullivan (born Raymond Edward O'Sullivan, 1 December 1946) is an Irish singer-songwriter, best known for his early 1970s hits "Alone Again (Naturally)", "Clair" and "Get Down". The music magazine ''Record Mirror'' voted him the No. 1 UK male singer of 1972.
Worldwide he has charted 16 top-40 records, including six number one songs, the first of which was 1970's "Nothing Rhymed" (for further information see Gilbert O'Sullivan discography). Such was his popularity in the early 1970s that "Matrimony", an airplay and live favourite from his debut album ''Himself'', remains one of his most famous compositions despite never having been a hit single (except in the Netherlands where it reached No. 4).
His most successful recording period was between 1970 and 1980, though he has since recorded ten studio albums as of 2015. Speaking in 2009 he said, "I write pop songs. End of story. That's all I wanted to do. That's all I want to do. And that's all I continue to want to do. I have no interest in just touring, and living in the past."
==Early life==
He was born Raymond Edward O'Sullivan in Cork Road, Waterford, Ireland. In 1953, aged 7, his family moved to Battersea, London and aged 8 to Swindon, Wiltshire, England. He attended St Joseph's and the Swindon College of Art, where he briefly played drums in a band called Rick's Blues, founded by Rick Davies (who later founded Supertramp) and where he developed his lifelong interests in music and art. According to a 1972 interview with O'Sullivan, Davies taught him how to play both drums and piano. Other semi-professional bands he played with while at college include The Doodles and The Prefects.〔
