Graham Parker is best known as the lead singer of the popular UK band Graham Parker & the Rumour.

Parker’s energetic performances – along with the wittily class-conscious spirit of his debut album Howlin’ Wind – preceded the arrival of punk rock and new wave music. In addition, his quirky-blue-collar image is often believed to be a major influence on the public persona of many English musicians, most notably Elvis Costello, Paul Weller and Joe Jackson.
