All the songs on Supertramp’s self-titled first album, released in 1970, were composed by Hodgson, Davies, and Palmer. Hodgson and Davies collaborated on the composing while Palmer wrote the lyrics. Palmer left shortly after the album’s recording, allowing Hodgson to switch back to guitar (as well as providing keyboards with Davies). From their second album Indelibly Stamped forward, Hodgson and Davies wrote separately with each singing lead vocals on their own compositions. Crime of the Century, released in 1974, was the first of their albums to feature the line-up of Hodgson, Davies and new members Bob Siebenberg (drums), Dougie Thomson (bass) and John Helliwell (saxophone, clarinet, keyboards, backing vocals). This line-up would remain unchanged for the remainder of Hodgson’s tenure in the group. Hodgson’s song “Dreamer” became the band’s first hit and drove the album to the tops of the charts. It was one of the first keyboard songs Hodgson wrote on his new Wurlitzer piano that he bought when he was 19 years old. “Dreamer” was written after setting the keyboard up at his mother’s house, at the first opportunity he had to play it. At the time, Hodgson had a two-track tape recorder and made a “very magical” demo of the song on the spot with multiple vocal harmonies, using tin cans, lampshades and cardboard boxes for percussion. Hodgson has expressed that he loves playing the song in concert because it “just brings out the dreamer in everyone. So often we let go of that side of ourselves and it kind of reminds the audience and reminds me when I’m singing it, too, to keep that place in us alive.” The follow-up Crisis? What Crisis?, their first album to be recorded in the US, was released in 1975. The album charted on both the UK Top Twenty and the US Top Fifty.

Roger Hodgson Net Worth

Roger Hodgson is one of the richest Rock Singer from United Kingdom. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Roger Hodgson's net worth $10 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)

His first band was a guitar-and-drums combo called The H-Bombs.

In 1998, he played the role of King Arthur in Excalibur: La Legende Des Celtes.

Hodgson was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, on 21 March 1950, the son of Charles and Jill Hodgson (née Pomfret), and grew up in Oxford. He attended boarding schools Woodcote House near Windlesham, Surrey, where he was the first boy to learn electric guitar, and Stowe School near Buckingham, Buckinghamshire. Hodgson’s first guitar, given to him when he was 12, was a parting gift from his father when his parents divorced. He took it to boarding school with him, where his teacher taught him three chords. He began composing his own music and lyrics and within a year gave his first concert at school with nine original songs at the age of 13. Hodgson’s first band at school consisted of him on guitar and his friend Roy Hovey playing snare drums. They were dubbed the “H-bombs” because of their last names.

By their 1977 release Even in the Quietest Moments, the band had permanently relocated to the United States. Hodgson’s opening song on the album, “Give a Little Bit”, became an international hit single (number 15 US, number 29 UK, number 8 in Canada) and was written at 19 or 20 years of age; he introduced it to the band for recording five to six years later. Hodgson has stated the song was inspired by the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love”, released during the love and peace movement of the 1960s. Diana, Princess of Wales loved the song, and Hodgson performed it in her honour at the 2007 Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium. Hodgson said of the performance: “It was very wonderful when the audience all stood up, and the princes also, to sing ‘Give a Little Bit’ with me. That was a magical moment.” Hodgson has said it is a wonderful feeling as an artist to close his concerts with the song: “I look out and people just start hugging each other and they start singing with me. It’s a very unifying song with a beautiful, simple message that I’m very proud of and really enjoy playing today.”

Supertramp released their most successful album, Breakfast in America, in 1979; it has sold over 20 million copies to date. From that same album, “The Logical Song”, written by Hodgson, is Supertramp’s biggest chart hit in both the US and UK. In 1980, Hodgson was honoured with the Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters for “The Logical Song” being named the best song both musically and lyrically. To this day, “The Logical Song” also has the distinction of being one of the most quoted lyrics in schools. Hodgson composed the song from an autobiographical point of view, inspired by his experience of being sent away to boarding school for ten years. In recent interviews, Hodgson has said of the song’s meaning that it was “born from my questions about what really matters in life. Throughout childhood we are taught all these ways to be and yet we are rarely told anything about our true self. We are taught how to function outwardly, but not guided to who we are inwardly. We go from the innocence and wonder of childhood to the confusion of adolescence that often ends in the cynicism and disillusionment of adulthood. In ‘The Logical Song’, the burning question that came down to its rawest place was ‘please tell me who I am,’ and that’s basically what the song is about. I think this eternal question continues to hit such a deep chord in people around the world and why it stays so meaningful.”

After People Like Us disbanded, Hodgson auditioned for Island Records, with Traffic’s road manager providing him a foot in the door with the label. Island set him up in a recording studio as vocalist for the one-off “flower power” pop band Argosy, which also included Reginald Dwight (later known as Elton John), Caleb Quaye, and Nigel Olsson. Their sole single, “Mr. Boyd” and B-side “Imagine”, consisted of two pieces of orchestrated pop (both penned by Hodgson) and was issued in 1969 on the DJM (UK) and Congress (US) record labels. “Mr. Boyd” was covered in 1997 by Jake Shillingford and his band My Life Story on their album “The Golden Mile”.

In 1981, Hodgson moved his family from Los Angeles to northern California, where he built a home studio and began contemplating solo recordings. The rest of Supertramp remained in Los Angeles and the geographic separation created a rift between them and Hodgson; feuding was virtually non-existent, but the group harmony was lost. Hodgson felt increasingly constrained in the group context, and during the tour for …Famous Last Words… he made the decision to leave Supertramp. He has stated that there were not any real problems in his relationship with Davies, as was speculated.
