Saw them many times. His electric piano skills were the best. Played Crime of the century till you could see through the vinyl.
RIP.

For me it was Breakfast in America - one of the albums that made me love music.

Saw them many times. His electric piano skills were the best. Played Crime of the century till you could see through the vinyl.
RIP.

Rick will be missed, condolences to his loved ones. The LP "Even In The Quietest Moments" has been the record I have played many times over.

Fantastic music. I just had a gen z friend ask me the other day if I had ever heard the logical song. I recommended he listen to crime of the century with headphones all the way through. True creative genius. Alas, none of us escapes the death penalty.

So very sad.

SuperTramp was one of those early LP 70's bands that had awesome b-side songs and like many LP bands, did quite well and grew over the years giving us many moments of musical inspiration and get us through our teen & early adult lives.

SuperTramp always had a radio presence but, Breakfast in America was their breakout record. Yet, it was still in the band's character that just gelled into many songs that became A-list hits.

Hearing that he also died battling multiple myeloma makes it even more personal for me. Most cancer deaths I read about hurt even more because I wish every one could find a therapy and survive such things.

I'm grateful to have been here when these guys came up. It made my youth a very good and special place. RIP Rick Davies.
