In the late 1960s, what was official occupation of the British singer Shakin' Stevens?

Used to drink with Shaky when our disco occasionally supported him in the Seventies. The boy done good

Shakin Stevens turned professional in 1968 aged 20. From then until about 1977 Stevens was lead singer of the Rock n Roll band called Shakin Stevens and the Sunsets. They recorded about 6 albums but non charted in the UK or elsewhere that I know of. Stevens had his first UK chart hit in 1980 which was a cover version of a obscure 1950s song called Hot Dog. In the 1960s The Beatles had the most weeks on the UK singles charts, in 1970s Elton John , in 1980s Shakin Stevens.
