Ivor Neville "Nick" Kamen (born 15 April 1962 in Harlow, Essex, England)[1] is an English male model, songwriter and musician. He is best known for the 1986 single "Each Time You Break My Heart".

Career

Kamen attended St Marks RC Comprehensive School in Harlow along with his brothers Barry and Chester.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}} Kamen was first brought to the public's attention in 1984 when Ray Petri featured him on the front cover of The Face.[2] The cover showed him wearing a ski-hat, lipstick, orange roll-neck sweater and aviator sunglasses.

He is most remembered, in the UK, for his 1985 performance in Levi's [https://info.sunspel.com/the-laundrette-1985 "Launderette" television commercial],[3] where he strips down to stone-wash his blue jeans in a 1950s style public laundromat while he waits clad only in his Sunspel boxer shorts, which was one of a series of Bartle Bogle Hegarty advertisements that dramatically increased the popularity of Levi 501s. The commercial, directed by Roger Lyons, was selected for, and came fourth in, The 100 Greatest TV Ads in 2000.[4]

His first single was the 1986 UK number five hit "Each Time You Break My Heart" from his eponymous début album.[5] Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, it also cracked both the US dance chart (remix by Shep Pettibone) and the Top 50 in Canada. Madonna also sang the backing vocals. Her original demo remains one of many unreleased Madonna songs. Kamen also had a No. 16 follow-up in the UK with the second single, "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever" (a cover of the Four Tops' 1966 hit), although his later singles were less-commercially successful in the UK[5] but more so in the rest of Europe, particularly Italy, France, Germany and Spain.

Kamen's second album Us (1988) was produced by Patrick Leonard. Madonna again made an appearance as a backing vocalist on the song "Tell Me", this time without contributing to the songwriting or production. In 1989 Kamen performed the song "Turn It Up" on the soundtrack to Walt Disney's film, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. 1990 saw the release of one of his biggest hits. The single "I Promised Myself", from the album Move Until We Fly, reached Number 1 in eight European countries and was the fourth most played record in Europe in 1990. The song was later covered by Dead or Alive (1999), A-Teens (2004), Basshunter (2009) and most recently German punk rockers Maggers United (2013).

Nick's 1988 hit in Europe "Bring Me Your Love" has a Cantonese cover version //www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hN_JNM1PIs 今夜你是否一人?] reached No.1 on the airplay chart in Hong Kong in 1989.

Nick Kamen appeared on UK television, singing, on Top of the Pops (12 March 1987 and 18 October 1990), This Morning (9 April 1990), Night Network (15 April 1987, 19 August 1987 and 1988) and The Tube (31 October 1986 and 21 November 1986).

In 1992, Nick Kamen released his last album to date, entitled Whatever, Whenever.
