Sylvain Sylvain of the proto-punk band New York Dolls dies at 69
The New York Dolls were brash and glam, gender-bending and unapologetic, qualities that were still a few years away from becoming commonplace in clubs like CBGB in the East Village.

Sylvain Sylvain, the American rock musician who has died of cancer aged 69, never enjoyed much commercial success in his near half-century in the music industry, yet in terms of influence his group, the New York Dolls, were huge.
Their roughshod sound, trashy stage apparel and witty, ironic lyrics would provide a fertile base for many punk and hard rock bands. In Britain both the Sex Pistols and the Clash were powered by guitarists indebted to the Dolls while, in the US, the Ramones, Kiss, Aerosmith and Motley Crüe would all build on their legacy.
