Supertramp : Retrospectacle : The Supertramp Anthology

 Richard Davies

 (Born July,22 1944)

 is an 

English musician, 

singer and songwriter

 best known

 as founder, 

vocalist 

and keyboardist 

of the rock band 

Supertramp

Davies was its only 

constant member,

 and composed some

 of the band's 

best-known songs,

 including

 "Rudy",

 "Bloody Well Right", 

"Crime of the Century",

 "Ain't Nobody But Me",

 "From Now On", 

"Gone Hollywood",

Starting with

 the self-titled

 Supertramp

 in 1970, 

Davies shared

 lead vocals 

with

 Supertramp

 songwriting partner

 Roger Hodgson 

until the latter's

 departure in 1983,

 at which point 

he became the

 sole

 lead vocalist 

of the group. 

Davies's voice

 is deeper

 than Hodgson's, 

and he

 usually employs

 a raspy baritone 

which stands in 

stark contrast to 

his bandmate's tenor. 

However, 

he occasionally sings

 in a falsetto which 

superficially resembles 

Hodgson's vocals, 

such as on

 "Goodbye Stranger" 

and

 "My Kind of Lady".
