Edwyn Collins is a Scottish musician who grew to fame as frontman of the post-punk band "Orange Juice." "A Girl Like You," which is an Iggy Pop tribute, was his biggest solo hit. Paul Cook, drummer of the Sex Pistols, played the vibraphone on this track. The drum track is sampled from Len Barry's 1965 hit "1-2-3." >>
