Biography
Peter Kenneth Frampton was born on April 22, 1950 in Beckenham (Kent), England. He was only seven when he discovered a ukulele in his grandmother's attic. The following year, he took classical music lessons and soon afterwards began to learn the guitar. He began playing in several bands, including The Little Ravens, The Trubeats and The Preachers, whose producer was none other than Bill Wyman, bassist with The Rolling Stones. In 1966, he joined The Herd as lead guitarist and singer. He was only 19 when he became a session musician, appearing on recordings by Johnny Hallyday, Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Donovan and many others. After being approached to join The Small Faces at Steve Marriott's insistence, he finally reunited with Marriott in a new band, Humble Pie. He left Humble Pie after four albums and one live recording, and decided to go solo with a debut album entitled Wind of Change (1972). Numerous albums followed over the decades, including Frampton's Camel (1973), Where I Should Be (1979), The Art of Control (1982), and later Now (2003), Fingerprints (2006), Thank You Mr. Churchill (2010) and Acoustic Classics (2016). But it was above all with the double live album Frampton Comes Alive! (1976) that Peter Frampton made a lasting impression, staying at the top of the American charts for three weeks and earning the guitarist an invitation to the White House from President Gerald Ford. It included the hits "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do", at#6, #12 and #10 respectively. After forming The Peter Frampton Band, with whom he recorded the albums All Blues (2019) and the instrumental Frampton Forgets the Words (2021), the musician returned under his own name in 2026 with Carry the Light.
