“Breakfast in America“ Written & Composed by Roger Hodgson of Supertramp
Roger comments on his evergreen classic, Breakfast in America: “It’s consistently one of the most popular songs in the set and it just seems to ignite a wave of joy in the audience when they hear the first chords. Never could I have imagined when I wrote this song at age 19 that it would be gaining in popularity, if that is even possible, over 40 years later. It’s the playful, fun, jubilant quality that people love to hear and sing along to.“ ~ Roger Hodgson
Roger Hodgson, formerly of Supertramp, wrote & composed Breakfast in America, including all of the arrangements, when he was in his teens before he co-founded the band. Roger’s Breakfast in America, the title track off the blockbuster album, was ruling the radio airwaves around the world in 1979. See Roger performing Breakfast in America & more in concert - or
