Peter Frampton
One of the biggest stars in pop music during the 1970s, Peter Frampton was a singer and guitarist who soared to the heights of the business with his 1976 release, Frampton Comes Alive!. He had come to solo fame after well-regarded stints with The Herd and Humble Pie in his native England, but neither experience could match the pop culture juggernaut that was Alive!, which sold 16 million copies on the strength of listener-friendly rock ballads like "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Show Me the Way." Frampton remained a well-regarded pop craftsman whose love for his chosen medium was reflected in every release.
