Again, the album was a critical smash, but failed to see any substantial commercial success. He then got the band signed to CBS Records and agreed to help produce the album, which became the 1973 punk classic, Raw Power. He found Iggy lost in a haze of drug abuse and convinced him to reform the band as Iggy and The Stooges. In 1973, at the height of his Ziggy Stardust-success, David Bowie went searching for the band and Iggy in particular. The band broke up in 1971, after the legendary Fun House album was released. They released two albums that were classics on the underground rock scene, but failed to break through commercially. Ultimately, Pop was able to convince Elektra Records President Jac Holman to sign The Stooges. Though The Ramones and The Sex Pistols turned the genre into a movement, it was Iggy Pop who took the grit of Chicago blues with the rock sensibility of the Stones and the adventurism of garage rock, and turned it into a brave new musical front known today as power punk.Ī big fan of the Doors, Iggy Pop formed The Stooges in 1968, after kicking around his native Detroit with a number of '60s blues-rock bands. In the future, when rock historians decide to eulogize Iggy Pop, they will undoubtedly call him the Godfather of Punk.
