Glamour Camp was a short-lived American pop /rock musical project fronted by Christopher Otcasek , the son of The Cars ' Ric Ocasek (Otcasek is the original spelling of their surname ).[ 1]
Otcasek obtained a recording contract with EMI Records , who released their self-titled debut album , produced by Jonathan Elias , in 1988 .[ 1] Though nominally a band , Glamour Camp was essentially a solo project for Otcasek, with many performances on the album played by hired session musicians , including Will Lee and Sid McGinnis of David Letterman 's house band , and drummer Andy Newmark .[ 1] The single , “She Did It”, was first released in 1988, and the video received some light play on MTV , but never caught on; EMI re-released it the next year as "She Did It for Love", but it again failed to make any commercial impact. Although the Glamour Camp name was discontinued within a year, Otcasek remained under contract to EMI, which further resulted in his solo appearance on the soundtrack to Pretty Woman with a cover of Johnny O'Keefe 's "Wild One ", done in the style of Iggy Pop 's 1986 cover, "Real Wild Child (Wild One) ".[ 2]
