Raymond Ian Burns (born 24 April 1954), known by the stage name Captain Sensible, is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known as a founding member of punk rock band the Damned. He embarked on a solo career during the 1980s, following a UK number one hit with his cover of ‘Happy Talk’. Sensible’s distinctive appearance includes a red beret and sunglasses, typically with white frames… Burns adopted his stage name Captain Sensible ironically because he used to be a “debauched maniac” who had fun “regardless of the consequences.”
