Who is Roger Hodgson?
Charles Roger Pomfret Hodgson is a British musician and songwriter, best known as the former co-frontman, and founding member, of progressive rock band Supertramp.
Hodgson composed and sang the majority of the band's hits, including "Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit", "The Logical Song", "Breakfast in America", "Take the Long Way Home" and "It's Raining Again".
He left Supertramp in 1983 to pursue a solo career, but after two albums he retired from touring and other industry obligations. In 1997 Hodgson returned to doing solo tours, and released a third album in 2000. He is recognised for his tenor head voice, which became a trademark of his former band Supertramp, and often writes about spiritual and philosophical topics.
