Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier, February 4, 1948), is a rock singer and musician, whose work spans four decades. He is often referred to as the founder of shock rock due to his gory, theatrical concert performances.
Known onstage for his shock rock theatrics and controversial villainous stage role set to a melodic soundtrack of generally classic rock, and for his social and witty persona offstage, he is universally recognized as one of the most accomplished and influential artists in rock music, inspiring many later musicians and helped shape the sound and look of punk rock and early heavy metal, and is credited as being the first to bring storylined theatrics to the rock/pop concert stage, in the late 1960s. Cooper is also a film actor, golfing celebrity, restaurateur, and a popular radio DJ since 2004 with his US classic rock show "Nights With Alice Cooper".
"Alice Cooper" was originally the name of Furnier's band; in 1974 he legally changed his own name to Alice Cooper for a successful solo career. Since their first single release in 1966 when known as "The Spiders", the Alice Cooper group broke into the international music mainstream with the 1972 hit "School's Out" and reached their commercial peak with the 1973 album "Billion Dollar Babies". Cooper embarked on his solo career with the popular 1975 concept album Welcome To My Nightmare aided by classic rock radio staple "Only Women Bleed", and received a career resurgence in 1989 with the hit "Poison". He still releases albums to critical acclaim and performs onstage to this day.
Ran for President of the United States in 1972, 1988 and 2004 under the "Wild Party" label.
