Elvis Costello

Declan Patrick MacManus was born on August 25, 1954 in Paddington, London, England. His debut album was "My Aim Is True", and shortly after the album was released, he formed The Attractions.
One of his most famous songs "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding", at the time of release, sold millions of copies.
But before selling millions of records, Costello spent his days performing at pubs in London. He really can be considered a big star, as Rolling Stone ranked him at number 80 on their list of the top 100 musicians in 2004.
