Bill Champlin

Bill Champlin is a man who has experienced musical success on his own terms. Over the years you’ve known him as a solo artist, session musician, vocalist, and longtime member of the band Chicago. From the very start of his career, you’ll find interesting detours that have taken him to places where other musicians only wish they could experience. From the early psychedelic era of The Sons of Champlin in San Francisco, to laying down smooth vocal tracks with David Foster, to his contributions in Chicago, Bill found his way to his own music by listening, learning, and absorbing from the very best. The fact is, if you step back to see the breadth of his talent, at the core you’ll find a man who has been gifted with one of the most soulful voices that has helped define what R&B is today. That’s why we’re eagerly awaiting his new album which will be released later this year. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Bill Champlin.

Just as I expected guys. A "knockout" interview! Bill is one of nicest, funniest & most talented cats on the planet today. 5 decades and still going strong. Thanks a ton for doing this. It was well worth it.
Best,

Fantastic interview... Bill has such a rich history in so many facets and timelines in music.. One interview doesn't seem like enough time!
You guys sure left me wanting more... again.
Thanks Rick & Eddy.
You could feel the love watching him perform with his peers, they have such respect for him.

Fat3 is right:That was 100% Champlin Style and, thank the Lord, the Vibe is on the Tape!I had such a fun Time listing to the Interview. One of the best Talks (and it´s really hard to judge, because I love them all...).The Interview caused me to listen the complete last Week to his Live-CD "Mayday" which is very impressing. Bill seem´s to be unstoppable in his Power and deep Soul.By the Way: The wonderful Jerry Lopez (Leader of Santa Fé & FCH´s)is playing a cool Part on Guitar & Vocals on this CD...One Guest on my Wishlist for an upcoming Interview *smile*
Keep on groovin´...I love what you´re doing...!Thanks for this Site Eddie & Rick!
