Born on December 18, 1952, Holden's early career in the 1970s was marked by his tenure as the lead vocalist and frontman of the renowned band Ol' 55.

Under the visionary direction of a renowned leader, a notable musical group accomplished a remarkable feat, as their inaugural album, Take It Greasy, ascended to a prestigious ranking of number three on the esteemed Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart in the year 1976.

The album's crowning jewel, the hit single "On the Prowl", played a pivotal role in this outstanding achievement, undoubtedly contributing to the group's remarkable commercial success.
