Doug Fieger, founder and frontman of the iconic L.A. power pop band the Knack, died Sunday after a five-year fight with cancer. Born and raised in Detroit, where he reportedly introduced bell-bottom pants and pink boots to his fellow students at Oak Park high school in 1964, the Beatles-obsessed rocker moved to L.A. in the 1970s, and hit the major big time in 1979 when his song "My Sharona" topped the Billboard charts for six weeks straight. Interestingly, the song's namesake, Sharona Alperin, a teenager who'd rebuffed Fieger's initial advances, ended up dumping her boyfriend, joining the Knack on tour, and dating Fieger for three years. Fieger wrote some other good songs, like "Good Girls Don't," above, but the Knack never came close to matching the huge success of "My Sharona," and thus became known as a prototype one-hit-wonder. "My Sharona" has been included on countless nostalgia compilations and returned to the charts in 1994, after Winona Rider shoplifted danced around a gas station food mart to it in the horrible mistake of a movie, Reality Bites. But it really is a terrific song.
