Robert George (Doc) Cox was the only child of a mixed marriage, one man and one woman and was born at an early age in Sheffield, Yorkshire, in 1946. Doc is also known as Ivor Biggun writer and singer of risqué songs, including a RuDE one about a Filthy Habit long ago in a galaxy far away, a record that stormed the top twenty charts helped a bit by DJ John Peel who played it at music festivals every time the generators broke down and the stage, or Hawkwind collapsed.
The song he played was Ivor Biggun's "The Winker's Song (misprint) , other DJ's featured it and low and behold began to sell in frightening quantities, it ended up at number 12 in the UK pop charts in 1978 which Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten picked as his single of the week as guest reviewer in the New Musical Express.
