Supertramp’s Rick Davies Checks Out at 81—He Bloody Well Wrote the Hits

Rick Davies, co-founder and vocalist of Supertramp, dies at 81. The keyboardist pens numerous key tracks for the band.

Among the titles that bear his imprint: “Goodbye Stranger,” “Breakfast in America,” and “Bloody Well Right”—each steeped in polished irony, wry charm, and the pop-rock sheen that turns mundane alienation into something whistled on commute radios worldwide.
