Clues:
-1970s
-Brit POP (as oppose to Brit Rock or Brit Glam Rock or Brit Punk or Brit New Wave or Brit Soul etc.
Rules out creeps from The Who and Led Zep., talked about frequently on this board.
I can't think of any legendary British "pop" stars from the 1970s apart from Elton John or Cliff Richard - and I don't think they like 'girls.' Its also worth noting that The Sun are notorious for planting subtle clues - perhaps a pun on a well known song, for example - in articles where they can't name names.

Well. Its someone on this list. Rod Stewart's name keep popping up. But he's not just exclusively 70s?

It could be Tom Jones. Did Tom have any hits in the 1980s/90s/00s?
Is Gary Numan pop? I thought he was 80s New Wave? Didn't know he had hits in the 70s.
