Gonna Make You a Star

Gonna Make You a Star by David Essex was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, November 16, 1974 spending 3 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. David Essex was holidaying in the South of France with his close friend Steve Collier when he came up with this song. Some people felt that Essex's use of the East End of London dialect in his songs such as the "I don't fink so" phrase on "Gonna Make You A Star" was pretentious, but he told The Melody Maker that he wasn't even aware that he was singing in a Cockney accent.
