Roger Chapman (Family) Interview. View the full interview at www.rockondigital.com
Rick Wakeman meets Roger Chapman, of the classic rock band Family, a superb vocalist who is classed as one of the greatest British rock singers. Famed for his spectacular showmanship and soaring vibrato vocals, Chapman illustrates, in his own charismatic way, the various phases in his long career, including the in-depth account of the rise to international success with his legendary band Family and beyond.
Discover how Roger felt when bassist Ric Grech famously quit Family during their hedonistic heyday to join supergroup Blind Faith, with Clapton and Steve Winwood. Find out the highs of Family's archetypal 60's 'happenings', touring with the world's leading acts and having Led Zeppelin's legendary Peter Grant as road manager plus the trials and tribulations of touring the U.S in their early days.
The compelling rock 'n' roll stories of Roger Chapman are brought to life and augmented by the real reason why the original Wildman of Rock's manic stage persona rose to new levels when he notoriously launched a mic stand at the nearly decapitated Bill Graham - who was at the time, America's top rock impresario and promoter of the Fillmore East venue.
