Peter Kenneth Frampton (born 22 April 1950) is an English-American guitarist, singer and songwriter who rose to prominence as a member of the rock bands the Herd and Humble Pie. Later in his career Frampton found success as a solo artist. He has released several albums, including his breakthrough album, the live release Frampton Comes Alive! (1976), which spawned several hit singles and has earned 8× Platinum by the RIAA in the United States. He has also worked with acts such as Ringo Starr, the Who's John Entwistle, David Bowie, and both Matt Cameron and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam. Frampton is best known for such hits as "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Do You Feel Like We Do", and "I'm in You", which remain staples of classic rock radio. He has also appeared as himself in television shows such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Madam Secretary. Peter Kenneth Frampton was born to Owen Frampton and Peggy (née ffitch) Frampton in Beckenham, Kent. He attended Bromley Technical High School, at which his father was a teacher and the head of the Art department. He first became interested in music when he was seven years old. Having discovered his grandmother's banjolele in the attic, he taught himself to play it, going on to later teach himself how to play guitar and piano as well. At the age of eight, he began taking classical music lessons. His early influences came from Cliff Richard & the Shadows, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and later the Ventures, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles. His father introduced him to the recordings of Belgian gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. By the age of 12, Frampton played in a band called the Little Ravens. Both he and David Bowie, who was three years older, were pupils at Bromley Technical School where Frampton's father was Bowie's art teacher. The Little Ravens played on the same bill at school as Bowie's band, George and the Dragons. Peter and David would spend lunch breaks together, playing Buddy Holly songs. At the age of 14, Peter was playing with a band called the Trubeats followed by a band called the Preachers, who later became Moon's Train, produced and managed by Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones. He became a successful child singer, and in 1966 he became a member of the Herd. He was the lead guitarist and singer, scoring several British pop hits. Frampton was named "The Face of 1968" by teen magazine Rave. In 1969, when Frampton was 18 years old, he joined Steve Marriott of the Small Faces to form Humble Pie. While playing with Humble Pie, Frampton also did session recording with other artists, including: Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and John Entwistle's Whistle Rymes, in 1972. Pete Drake introduced him to the "talk box" that was to become one of his trademark guitar effects. After four studio albums and one live album with Humble Pie, Frampton left the band and went solo in 1971, just in time to see Rockin' the Fillmore rise up the US charts. He remained with Dee Anthony (1926-2009), the same personal manager that Humble Pie had used. ... Source: Article "Peter Frampton" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Peter Kenneth Frampton, né le 22 avril 1950 à Beckenham (près de Londres), est auteur-compositeur-interprète américain d'origine britannique. Il joue aussi bien de la guitare et de la basse que des claviers, surtout sur ses albums solo. Il fut membre des groupes The Herd et Humble Pie, avant d'entreprendre une carrière solo avec succès, surtout dans les années 1970. Ses plus grands succès sont Show Me the Way, Baby, I Love Your Way, Lines on My Face ou encore Do You Feel Like We Do. Il est reconnu pour son utilisation de la talkbox. Peter naît à Beckenham en Angleterre. Il étudie à la Bromley Technical High School, son père y est à la tête du département des arts et y enseigne aussi. Son intérêt pour la musique lui vient dès l'âge de sept ans, alors qu'il découvre à cette même époque le ukulélé de sa grand-mère dans le grenier. Il apprend vite de lui-même à en jouer, comme il fera de même plus tard avec la guitare et le piano. À l'âge de huit ans, il prend des cours de musique classique. Ses premières influences sont les Shadows, particulièrement leur guitariste Hank Marvin, ainsi que les rockers Buddy Holly et Eddie Cochran, les Ventures et bien sûr les Beatles. Et par la suite son père lui fait connaître la musique de Django Reinhardt. Dès l'âge de 12 ans, Peter joue avec le groupe The Little Ravens. Lui et David Bowie, de trois ans son aîné, sont élèves de l'école Bromley Technical School. The Little Ravens jouent à la même soirée que le groupe George & The Dragons de Bowie. Les deux musiciens se retrouvent d'ailleurs sur la période du repas en jouant des chansons de Buddy Holly ensemble. Puis, à 14 ans, Peter joue avec The Truebeats ainsi que The Preachers, dont le gérant et producteur est Bill Wyman des Rolling Stones. Il devient un chanteur réputé et se joint au groupe The Herd, en 1966, dont il est le guitariste soliste et le chanteur attitré, enregistrant plusieurs chansons à succès. Il sera même nommé le visage de 1968 par le magazine adolescents Rave. Au début de 1969, alors qu'il a 19 ans et qu'il participe à une session pour Johnny Hallyday, Peter fait la connaissance de Steve Marriott qui le présente à ses acolytes des Small Faces, dans le but de le prendre comme guitariste dans le groupe, mais devant leur refus catégorique, Marriott décide de quitter la formation et part former Humble Pie avec Frampton, Greg Ridley à la basse et Jerry Shirley à la batterie. Frampton et Marriott sont à ce moment lassés des chansonnetes à succès pop de The Herd et des Small Faces. Alors qu'il est membre de Humble Pie, Peter joue avec d'autres artistes comme guitariste invité, dont Harry Nilsson pour l'album de 1972 Son of Schmilsson, John Entwistle (le bassiste des Who) pour Whistle Rhymes la même année, ou encore Jerry Lee Lewis sur The Session...Recorded in London with Great Artists en 1973, Donovan pour Essence to essence en 1974, et Alexis KornerGet off of my cloud avec Steve Marriott. Durant cette période, il découvre la talkbox popularisée par Joe Walsh, qui deviendra sa marque de commerce. ...
