Cockney Rebel

Cockney Rebel was a British rock band formed in 1972 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Steve Harley. The group is best known for their 1975 hit single “Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me),” which had been released after Harley broke up the original Cockney Rebel lineup and pieced together a new version of the band that he re-named Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel.
