Alice Cooper

Biography

Alice Cooper is an American singer and songwriter whose raspy voice and macabre, illusion-heavy stage shows earned him the nickname the Godfather of Shock Rock. Born Vincent Damon Furnier in Detroit and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, he started a high school band in 1964 that later took the Alice Cooper name and signed to Frank Zappa's Straight Records. Their debut, Pretties for You (1969), led to the breakthrough Love It to Death (1971) and the single I'm Eighteen, followed by School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies (1973). After the classic lineup broke up in 1975, Furnier, by then legally named Alice Cooper, went out on his own with Welcome to My Nightmare (1975), a concept album whose ballad Only Women Bleed reached the Top 20. He acted in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978) and Sextette (1978), and in 2011 the original group entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
