Mark E. Smith is one of the most popular and richest Punk Singer who was born on March 5, 1957 in Broughton, England, United Kingdom. Singer and songwriter, who is best known in the role of frontman. He was the only permanent member of the legendary English post-punk band The Fall. He was well-known for his harsh, sarcastic and humorous lyrics that can be can be heard on albums like Hex Enduction Hour and Your Future Our Clutter.

He was a guest on the He made a cameo appearance in the Michael Winterbottom film 24 Hour Party People (2002). film 24 Hour Party People (2002).

Their early line-up was formed from early members of the punk rock movement. However their music underwent numerous stylistic changes, often concurrently with changes in the group’s lineup. The Fall’s 40-year career can be broken into five broad periods, based on the band’s membership. These include their early late 1970s line-up, the classic Fall period of Hanley and dual drummers, the Brix years of 1984-89, their early 1990s revival, and everything after the on-stage fight in New York, after which Hanley quit and Smith was arrested (see below).

His ability as a prose writer is evident in songs that abandon the verse/chorus format in favour of a long continuous narrative. Examples include “Spectre Vs Rector” (1979), “The North Will Rise Again” (1980), “Winter (Hostel-Maxi)” and “Winter 2” (1982), and “Wings” (1983). Fall songs written in this style are often not concerned with character or story development, more establishing a sense of place and atmosphere. By the late 1980s, Smith had largely given up this format. Some early songs concern one of his assumed alter-egos, though always from a third person point of view. Examples include Roman Totale XVII, “the bastard offspring of Charles I and the Great God Pan”, who appears in “The N.W.R.A” (1980), the live album Totale’s Turns, “2nd Dark Age” (one of the b-sides to the “Fiery Jack” single), and the sleeve credits for Dragnet, as well as the characters in “Fiery Jack” (1980), “Hip Priest” (1982), “The Man Whose Head Expanded” (1983), and “Riddler” (1986). Rare first person narratives include “Frenz” and “Carry Bag Man”, both from 1988’s The Frenz Experiment, as well as “Bill Is Dead” (1990) and “Edinburgh Man” (1991). He did not respond to requests to explain the meaning or sources behind his lyrics. When asked by a journalist as to how much of his self could be found in the song’s characters, he replied “dunno, you’re the one sitting there in your round glasses and leather jacket. You tell me what you think it’s an extension of…for every bloke pulling a pint, there’s about ten thousand journalists writing an article about it.”

He was married to the keyboardist as well as The Fall member Elena Poulou in 2001. He previously was wed to He married keyboardist and The Fall member Elena Poulou in 2001. He was previously married to Brix Smith-Start and Saffron Prior. and Saffron Prior.
