Jonathan Michael Richman[1] (born May 16, 1951)[2] is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. In 1970, he founded the Modern Lovers, an influential proto-punk band. Since the mid-1970s, Richman has worked either solo or with low-key acoustic and electric backing. He is known for his wide-eyed,[3] unaffected, and childlike outlook, and music that, while rooted in rock and roll, is influenced by music from around the world.
