As a fossilized rock aficionado that dates back to the early’60’s, I’ve seen a lot of top-tier rock-n-rollers in concert.

My first encounter with Alice Cooper was in March, 1972, and I maintain to this day it was the best live rock performance my ears have ever witnessed.

That was the “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” era, and the sound generated by his band back then was enough to take your breath away.

He later “grew” into “Only Women Bleed”, and that kind of crap.

By 1974, I think creatively, Cooper was done. The best work was prior, including Billion Dollar Babies album, KIller and prior work.

I don’t know a lot about him.

I was a teen in the glam rock 80s, but I liked Deep Purple and Zep, etc.

I need to look up some songs by him.

Are those two you mention songs or albums? Thanks

He and his wife (a ballerina in her day) sat behind us at the Ballet this winter. Had a great chat about their friendship with Glen Campbell and his wife. Glen had died and Cooper gave some great interviews I complimented him on.
