Malcolm McLaren, the manager of the Sex Pistols, discovered him when he was nothing more than a club kid with wild behavior and eccentric style. Songs like “Time (Clock of the Heart),” “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” and “Karma Chameleon” had millions of sales. A lot of their success can be credited to his look. He liked to dress in his uniquely androgynous and colorful way.
