https://youtube/watch?v=ZsV-rQ23bus Supertramp are an English rock band formed in 1969 under the name Daddy before renaming themselves in early 1970. Though their music was initially categorised as progressive rock, they have since incorporated a combination of traditional rock, pop and art rock into their music. The bands work is marked by the songwriting of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson and the use of Wurlitzer electric piano and saxophone in their songs. While the bands early work was mainstream progressive rock, they would enjoy greater critical and commercial success when they incorporated more conventional and radio-friendly elements into their work in the mid-1970s, going on to sell more than 60 million albums. They reached their peak of commercial success with 1979s Breakfast in America, which has sold more than 20 million copies. Though their albums were generally far more successful than their singles, Supertramp did enjoy a number of major hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including Bloody Well Right, Give a Little Bit, The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger, Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer, Breakfast in America, Its Raining Again, and Cannonball. The band attained significant popularity in the United States, Canada, Europe, South Africa and Australia. Since Hodgsons departure in 1983, founder Rick Davies has led the band by himself.
