Nick Kamen 1

"Wow, he's got a great face!"  That was Madonna's first reaction to then-model, future pop star Nick Kamen.  She recollected, "I never knew he could sing.  And the next thing I know, Seymour Stein calls me up and says, 'would you be interested in writing a song for his album?'  So he sent me a tape and the Levi's commercial and a demo video that he had done, and I said, 'Wow, this guy's got everything.'"  Now, fans of Kamen can have everything, too, as Cherry Red has just released The Complete

Nick Kamen

Nick Kamen's career as a singer was a short-lived one, spanning just four LPs between 1987 and 1992.  But the former Levi's model - best known for his role in the denim company's "Launderette" television advertisement in which he walks into a laundromat and removes his shirt and 501s  - scored considerable success in that period including a U.K. Top 5 hit co-written and produced by none other than Madonna.  Cherry Red's Cherry Pop label has recently reissued Nick Kamen, the debut album from the
