Rick Davies

Rick Davies, the influential co-founder and vocalist of the English rock band Supertramp, died on Sept. 5 at the age of 81. Davies wrote, composed, and sang many of the band's most iconic hits, like "Bloody Well Right" and "Goodbye Stranger." Born in Swindon, England, in 1944, Davies formed Supertramp (originally called Daddy) in 1969 with Roger Hodgson, his primary creative partner until a bitter falling out prompted Hodgson's exit in 1983. Davies carried Supertramp to multiple Grammy wins and several bestselling albums, and his music remains resonant, appearing in films and series like The Office, I, Tonya, and The Simpsons. Davies is survived by Sue, his wife since 1977 and the band's manager since 1984.
