Happy # 73 Peter Frampton


We say happy birthday Peter Frampton who was born in the UK on this day in 1950

In the summer of 1976, Peter Frampton was on top of the musical world.   His double LP "Frampton comes alive" was # 1 on Billboard USA.    It sold 6 million copies in the US and a lot more elsewhere.

Rolling Stone Magazine ranks this LP # 41 in the top 50 "live" albums.      Frankly, I'm surprised that it ranks that low considering the album's influence on radio.

It featured 3 Top 10 hits:  "Baby, I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do".    The last one was 14 minutes long on the LP version!

Great LP and one of those that you should get on CD for your rock collection.
