description: Lee Brilleaux the uniquely charismatic star of proto-punk R&amp;B reprobates Dr Feelgood was one of rock'n'roll's greatest frontmen. But he was also one of its greatest gentlemen - a class act with heart fire wanderlust and a wild streak. Exploding out of Canvey Island in the early 1970s - an age of glam rock post-hippy folk and pop androgyny - the Feelgoods with Lee Brilleaux and Wilko Johnson at the helm charged into London grabbed the pub rock scene by the throat and sparked a revolutionary new era proving that you didn't have to be middle class wearing the 'right clothes' or living in the 'right place' to succeed. Lee Brilleaux: Rock'n'Roll Gentleman while a totally different work is a companion of sorts to the hugely popular Wilko Johnson book: Looking Back At Me (also co-authored by Howe). It is the first comprehensive appreciation of Lee Brilleaux and with its numerous exclusive interviews and previously unseen images is a book no Dr Feelgood fan would wish to be without.
