    Iggy Pop (born James Newell "Jim" Osterberg, Jr.; April 21, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and occasional actor.[1] He is considered an influential innovator of punk rock, hard rock, and other styles of rock music.[1] Pop began calling himself "Iggy" after his first band in high school (for which he was drummer), The Iguanas.
    
    Iggy was lead singer/songwriter of influential protopunk/glam rock band The Stooges and became known for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics
    
    Pop's popularity has ebbed and flowed throughout the course of his subsequent solo career. His best-known solo songs include "Lust for Life", the Top 40 hits "Real Wild Child" and "Candy" (with vocalist Kate Pierson of The B-52's),[2] "China Girl" (co-written with and famously covered by David Bowie), and "The Passenger".

Bowie serves as producer and cowriter, and his artsy, stylized hand can be felt negotiating the sessions. Unlike the explosive firepower of the Stooges, The Idiot centers on a moody, sometimes funky vibe that reflects the decadent aura of Berlin, where this album was recorded--and where Pop and Bowie attempted to tame their excesses. "China Girl" has since gone on to become a standard in both of their repertoires. However, it's Pop's mix of eerie nonchalance and passionate screams that defines the song. Tracks such as "Nightclubbing" and "Dum Dum Boys" are surprisingly subdued for Pop considering the subject matter. This is essentially Pop taking baby steps back into the world-at-large after years of self-abuse. --Rob O'Connor
