School/Bloody Well Right
Remembering Rick Davies of Supertramp!
“Maybe I’m mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I’m just crazy, I don’t know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I’ve just got this to say
It’s always up to you if you wanna be that
Wanna see that, wanna see it that way
You’re coming along” -

2 Strategies for Multiple Lead Singers
From what I’ve heard there are a couple of strategies when having multiple lead singers in a band. The first strategy is to have obvious differences between the lead singers so one can easily tell the voices apart. This Strategy was done with Supertramp whose Roger Hodgson had a high distinct voice whereas Rick Davies’ low voice obviously contrasted.
It was also done with Styx. Dennis DeYoung’s voice was more theatrical as he almost acted out his different characters. Tommy Shaw took a more normal approach. Shaw lit up more when it came to background singing as the combined backing vocals of this band were quite distinct.
Also good at this strategy was Fleetwood Mac. Christine McVie’s singing was the most normal of the three singers of this band. Stevie Nicks, with a second female voice, was very distinct with the heavy vibrato on her voice. She had so much vibrato that she sounded like a sheep. There was no mixing up these two women. And Lindsey Buckingham had a definitely male voice that also contrasted with the other two.
The second strategy for having multiple singers in a band is to have them sound the same. I was surprised to find out that Triumph had two lead singers. Rik Emmett, the guitarist and Gil Moore, the drummer could quite possibly have learned to sing from each other.
I didn’t know Saga had two lead singers till I recently saw the video for Scratching the Surface. Both singers are strikingly the same as if they had learned to sing at the same singing school.
I was also shocked to find that Ann and Nancy Wilson can sound much the same as they do in the video for These Dreams. But these two are sisters and have similar genes so perhaps it’s not that surprising.
Wait just one moment! All the similar singing bands I listed are from Canada. Heart maybe less so but they were considered to be Canadian enough to be up for Juno awards one year.
What is it about Canada that makes bands want to conform? Are they worried about being called out for being a hoser?
Or maybe these bands are rebelling against another Canadian band like Rush and their singer Geddy Lee. Geddy Lee has such a distinct voice that no one else seems intent on mimicking. He sounds like what the wicked witch of the west should sound like. Excepting the green colour, he almost looked like the wicked witch of the west, too. Is Geddy Lee unhappy that they won’t accept men in the part of the wicked witch of the west in movies and on Broadway?
Anyhow, no Canadian singers want to miss their calling like Geddy Lee and, thus, they try to conform.

Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Ah, the sounds of high school.
Supertramp’s biggest album (though not, IMO, their best - that would be Crime of the Century), with the inescapable single The Logical Song.
I’ve got a huge soft spot for Supertramp: the way Davies’ bluesier and dramatic instincts play against Hodgson’s pop profundity makes for interesting songs.

Today’s listening is ‘In The Eye Of The Storm’, the 1984 album by Roger Hodgson.
This was Roger’s first solo album after he left Supertramp and is, I would say, ‘the great lost Supertramp album’.
It suffers a little from those mid-80’s synth and drum sounds, but there are some great tracks here!
It's such a shame that Rick Davies broke their gentleman’s agreement and subsequently refused Roger’s offer of a band reunion, something that I guess will never happen now.

One of Roger's solo songs from after he left Supertramp...

Si bien se hablaba de diferencia musicales y personales con Rick Davies, lo cierto es que el mismo #RogerHodgson declaró que su partida de Supertramp se debía a que deseaba pasar más tiempo con su familia (de hecho construyó un estudio de grabación en su casa) y tener un estilo de vida más tranquilo. Como resultado de ese trabajo en solitario (donde tocó todos los instrumentos) surgió el 7 de diciembre de 1984 #InTheEyeOfTheStorm donde conviven el espíritu progresivo y la estética pop que ya se habían manifestado en el reconocido “Breakfast in América” del grupo británico.
