| Singer/ songwriter/
keyboard player/ guitarist Bill Champlin has been a rock journeyman
in a career dating back to the 1960s. Starting in 1966, Champlin
was the pivotal figure in a San Francisco-based group called
the Sons of Champlin that existed and made records off and on
for over a decade without gaining a great deal of notice.
In 1981, Champlin became a member
of Chicago, with whom he has recorded and toured ever since,
while releasing the occasional solo album, sometimes only in
Japan. He scored two singles chart entries in 1982 with "Tonight
Tonight" and "Sara," duetted with Patti LaBelle on "The Last
Unbroken Heart" from the soundtrack to the TV series Miami Vice
in 1987, and sang with Brenda Russell on jazz saxophonist Tom
Scott's Keep This Love Alive album in 1991.
