Robert Smith, the lead singer of The Cure, shared a humorous story during an interview with Absolute Radio. In 1977, during the band's first show, Smith, while intoxicated, sang David Bowie's "Suffragette City" while the band played Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady." Initially unsure of his singing abilities, Smith found that audiences liked his voice, leading him to continue as the band's frontman.
