Timeline

1952

Charles Jeremy "Chaz" Jankel (born 16 April 1952) is an English musician and songwriter.

Charles Jeremy Jankel was born on 16 April 1952 in Stanmore, Middlesex.

Inspired by skiffle singer Lonnie Donegan, he started to learn how to play the Spanish guitar at age 7, and then went on to study the piano.

He attended the boarding school Mill Hill School and became a fan of the American rock, funk and soul band Sly and the Family Stone during his time there.

Jankel's fondness for this style was later responsible for much of the funk influence on the Blockheads' music and also influenced Jankel's solo career.

1970

In a music career spanning more than 40 years, he came to prominence in the late 1970s as the guitarist and keyboardist of the rock band Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

With Dury, Jankel co-wrote some of the band's best-known songs including "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll", "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" and "Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3".

In addition to his work with the Blockheads, Jankel has had a solo career which has resulted in nine studio albums.

He has a long list of credits as both a performer and as songwriter.

Jankel first started working with Ian Dury as part of the pub rock band Kilburn and the High Roads in the early part of the 1970s.

1980

After leaving the Blockheads, Jankel pursued a solo career and issued four studio albums for A&M, including his 1980 self-titled debut and 1981's Chasanova, which was also released under the title Questionnaire.
