Hire Peter Frampton:
GRAMMY award-winning Peter Kenneth Frampton (born 22 April 1950) is an English-American musician and songwriter who rose to prominence as a member of the rock bands Humble Pie and the Herd.
In early 1965, Peter Frampton formed the pop band The Herd with Andy Bown, keyboards, Gary Taylor, bass, and Andrew Steele, drums. After Parlophone dropped them after flop singles, they signed to Fontana, where songwriters Howard and Blaikley orchestrated a blend of pop and flower power. Their second single, ‘From the Underworld’ reached no. 6 with help from pirate radio, followed by similar ‘Paradise Lost’, no. 15 early 1968.

His first solo LP “Wind of Change” had melodic pop helped by heavy friends Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Klaus Voorman, etc.
He formed Camel (which became Frampton’s Camel, because of Peter Bardens’ Camel) for live work, with Mike Kellie (ex-Spooky Tooth), drums, Rick Wills (ex-Cochise), bass, and keyboardist Mickey Gallagher. Early music was high on melody, low on lyrical content. But the band toured widely, making a basis for future success.
Later in his career, Frampton found success as a solo artist. He has released several albums, including his breakthrough album, Frampton Comes Alive! (1976), which spawned several hit singles and has earned 8× Platinum by the RIAA in the United States.

The album was on the Billboard 200 for 97 weeks, of which 55 were in the top 40, of which 10 were at the top. The album beat, among others, Fleetwood Mac‘s Fleetwood Mac to become the top selling album of 1976, and it was also the 14th best seller of 1977. The album won Frampton a Juno Award in 1977.
A sabbatical dictated by a near-fatal car crash ’78 ended with “Where I Should Be” 1979, no. 14 USA hit ‘I Can’t Stand It No More.’ “Breaking All the Rules” ’81 and “The Art Of Control” ’82 saw his locks shorn for a new image and “Premonition.”
In 1986, on Virgin, he updated his sound with slabs of synth.
