Singer, songwriter and actor Ian Dury was born on May 12, 1942 in Harrow, Middlesex, England. He sadly passed away from cancer on March 27, 2000 in Upminster, London, England. Known for his unique musical style and charismatic stage presence, Dury left a lasting impact on the music industry. His son Baxter Dury also followed in his footsteps as a musician.

Throughout his career, Ian Dury captivated audiences with his powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics. He gained recognition as both a solo artist and as the frontman of the band The Blockheads. With hits like "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" and "Reasons to be Cheerful Part 3," he became an influential figure in the punk rock and new wave movements of the late 1970s.

Aside from his musical achievements, Dury also dabbled in acting. He appeared in films such as "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" and "Judge Dredd." Despite facing physical challenges due to childhood polio which affected his mobility, he never let it hinder his passion for performing.

New Wave / Post Punk

Do It Yourself is a 1979 album by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. It was the first album to be credited to Ian Dury and the Blockheads rather than Ian Dury alone, although Dury had used the full band name for the "What a Waste" 7" single of 1978. The album was released in the wake of the chart-topping hit single "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick", and reached number two in the charts, behind ABBA's Voulez-Vous. Do It Yourself sold around 200,000 copies, and was Dury's second Platinum album (after it's predecessor New Boots and Panties!!).
