The life of the pop star and actor who created the soundtrack to the 1970s.

By 1973, David Essex was starring in the number one London stage show, 'Godspell', had the number one movie and soundtrack album with 'That'll Be The Day', and topped it all off by writing and recording his first number one single, the classic 'Rock On'. Months later he was number one in the USA, having sold over twelve million copies worldwide of 'Rock On'.

It was all a far cry from his early days, rooted in poverty in East London, where he and his mother were forced to live in a workhouse while his father struggled to find them the money for a home of their own. Here in his heart-warming autobiography, David Essex recalls both the fun and the frustration of those early days, his time hop-picking with his Gypsy relatives in Kent, his early love of football and his desire to be a professional player. And how all that changed when he bought his first drum kit and started playing with local blues and rock and roll bands.

Revealing the story behind his amazing life for the first time, David candidly talks of creating the role of Che in the smash hit musical 'Evita', and of his enduring success that has seen 23 Top Twenty hits over thirty years, millions of records sold, and yearly tours that play to over a quarter of a million people.

In 'A Charmed Life', the star himself takes you inside his world. "I've seen the world, it injustices and its wonders. I've learned many things, but most of all I've learned to be myself."
