So he approached Idol about recording the song. ![]() He and partner Steve Schiff had just penned a tune that he was certain had 'million seller' written all over it.

His string of hits included 'White Wedding', 'Eyes Without A Face', and even a remake from the 60s, 'Mony Mony'. It was 1985 and no one was hotter than British bad boy rocker Billy Idol. ![]()
