What’s in a name? Well a lot, apparently. For many Seventies performers a name change may have made the difference between success and obscurity. Would Declan Patrick McManus have had such a long career? Would Stevland Hardaway Morris have become a household name? Perhaps not. This week Marty and Venetia showcase 70s performers who changed their name in order to enhance their careers. History seems to have proven them right.
