The former Supertramp co-frontman Roger Hogson celebrates 76
Best known as the co-founder and former frontman of the progressive rock band Supertramp, the English singer-songwriter Charles Roger Pomfret Hodgson was born on March 21, 1950, in Portsmouth, England.
Hodgson spent much of his childhood at boarding school, where he began writing songs at the age of 12. In 1969, he co-founded Supertramp with Rick Davies, serving as the band’s co-frontman until his departure in 1983. During his tenure with Supertramp, Hodgson composed and sang many of the band’s most successful songs, including “Dreamer,” “Give a Little Bit,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “The Logical Song,” “It’s Raining Again,” and “Breakfast in America.”
After leaving Supertramp, Hodgson embarked on a solo career, releasing several albums and continuing to tour internationally. His music often explores spiritual and philosophical themes, and his distinctive high tenor voice remains a hallmark of his style.
