| Mark Knopfler Born August 12, 1949 in Glasgow Scotland Dire Straits singer: British vocalist & guitarist Mark Knopfler lead Dire Straits to international success with a series of albums full of excellent musicianship and the finely developed songcraft that made some of his best story songs, such as "Romeo And Juliet". A touch of humor, with the song "Money For Nothing", and a knack for creating groove-driven songs also help make Dire Straits one of the most successful groups of the mid to late Eighties. The groups debut album introduced Knopfler's minor-key Dylanesque songs and his mixture of J.J. Cale's and Albert King's guitar styles: The Dire Straits trademark is a dialogue between Knopfer's vocals and guitar lines as heard in the groups first hit "Sultans Of Swing" from 1979 |
