 | Malcolm Robert Andrew McLaren (22 January 1946 -- 8 April 2010) was an English performer, impresario, self-publicist and former manager of the Sex Pistols and the New York Dolls. As a solo artist, McLaren had an innovative career which helped introduce hip hop to the United Kingdom. McLaren was approached by Adam Ant to manage Adam and the Ants, following their debut album release in late 1979. Shortly thereafter three members of the band left to form Bow Wow Wow, under McLaren's management. McLaren continued to manage Ant as he found new band members for Adam and the Ants and worked on a new sound. McLaren was later to manage Jimmy The Hoover, formed in 1982, who gained a support slot on a Bow Wow Wow tour. Bow Wow Wow was a band created solely for promotional purposes. Originally created to promote clothing designed by Vivienne Westwood, McLaren continued to exploit the band members, pressuring the underage lead singer to pose nude for the underage sex magazine he had created entitled Chicken, a reference to the magazine's underage content. In 1983, McLaren released Duck Rock, an album which, in collaboration with The World's Famous Supreme Team (a duo of Hip-Hop radio disc jockeys from New York City -- See Divine, The Mastermind and Just Allah, The Superstar -- who then hosted a prominent Hip-Hop/classic R&B show on WHBI 105.9 FM and who were also among the first DJs to introduce the art of scratching to the world), mixed up influences from Africa and the Americas <b>...</b> | From:ClassicMTV1 Views:1  0ratings |
