This video shows a live performance of My Sharona by The Knack, one of the best songs by one of the best bands of the 1970s.
It’s here now as a tribute to Doug Fieger, the lead singer of The Knack and co-writer of this song. He has died from cancer at the tender age of 57 after a six-year battle against the illness.
The Knack’s My Sharona still lives up to scrutiny today, as it’s a slice of simple and very addictive pop that will live on after we’ve all succumbed to the ravages of time.
Fieger battled and beat lung cancer in 2004, but was then diagnosed with brain tumors after he forgot the lyrics to this very song during a live show. He is survived by his brother and sister.
