Post Description

Jean Beauvoir is an American singer bassist, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist.

Beauvoir was born in Chicago to parents of Haitian background. He played drums as a child and switched to bass as a teenager. He was Gary U.S. Bonds's musical director at age 13; following this he sang in the doo wop group The Flamingos.[1] He moved to New York City during the punk rock explosion and answered a newspaper ad for a bassist, which led to his joining The Plasmatics for two albums. While with the Plasmatics and subsequently, Beauvoir sported a conspicuous blond mohawk.

He left the group after their release Beyond the Valley of 1984 to join Steve Van Zandt's Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul for two albums. Following this he launched a solo career with the album Drums Along the Mohawk, released in the U.K. on Virgin Records in 1986. The track "Feel the Heat" was chosen by Sylvester Stallone for his Cobra,[1] and the song became a hit in the U.S., reaching #73 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] On the strength of the single, Drums Along the Mohawk was released in the U.S. and peaked at #93 on the Billboard 200.[3] Jean Beauvoir's success was much greater in the rest of the world; the single "Feel the Heat" charted top 10 across Europe and in Australia.

Beauvoir released several further solo albums since the late 1980s, mostly released in Europe. Since then he has also written, produced for, and performed with acts such as Kiss, John Waite, The Ramones, Nona Hendryx, The Pretenders, Deborah Harry, Lionel Richie, Doro and N'SYNC. He has appeared on over 100 albums over the past two decades. He has also fronted the bands Voodoo X and Crown of Thorns, which was originally signed to Interscope Records for a much publicized record breaking deal. Both these hard rock groups have achieved significant success in the rest of the world(bron Wikipedia)
