Leslie Conn was a man of many parts in the British music scene. It is
difficult to define his most important role – perhaps as a first
manager for David Bowie and Marc Bolan – but although his career was a
mixture of successes and failures, he made a positive mark on all he
touched. It was said of him that confusion seemed to beset his life.
In his own words, he was: “The only guy in the music business that
started at the top and worked his way to the bottom.”
