Passionate songwriter, exceptional guitarist, and cultural touchstone, Peter Frampton is one of few musicians who can evoke an image of rock & roll stardom with three simple words, “Frampton Comes Alive!”
HALL OF FAME
ESSAY
By Scott B. Bomar
“It was like Peter was strapped to the nose cone of a rocket,” Cameron Crowe once said of the dizzying success of the 1976 double live album Frampton Comes Alive! “They shot him out into space, he landed on the moon, he got off, and there was nobody else there.” Indeed, Peter Frampton blazed a new path. The album spent ten weeks at the top of the charts, earned a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year, and became the best-selling live album of all time up to that point – eventually surpassing more than eight million copies in America alone.
