He wrote "I Fought The Law" and "Love Is All Around" (the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song). Also a one-time member of an important 50's rock n' roll band. Name that dude!

Twas Sonny 'Cricket' Curtis.

Interesting fact about Sonny is that he also co-wrote a Leo Sayer number 1 (More than I can Say). Good old Leo :lol: stark staring mad!

Not Bobby Fuller - he had the hit with I Fought The Law, but he didn't write it. (The Bobby Fuller 4 were a great band....Bobby was found dead in his car, beaten to a pulp and doused in gasolinge, the police ruled it a suicide, he was just 23).

A gritty evocation of a fifties childhood. Jim lacks a father figure and turns to the Rock and Roll world when he buys a guitar from a pawn shop at the end.

Name that truly great forgotten movie, the more famous follow up movie and the name of the British 50s/60s star who played 'Stormy Tempest'.
