LOVE & HATE (MARBLED 180G VINYL)

The smokiest voice in the music world As a young man, Roger Chapman had a difficult time. He made a living as an unskilled worker on construction sites and in factories, his 17-year-old girlfriend was pregnant, the whole life situation was precarious. A time that formed him and which he later reflected in many of his song lyrics. The tattoo ‚Love / Hateš on Chapman˜s knuckles also came from this phase. Then he had his big breakthrough as singer of the bands Family and Streetwalkers. Chapman˜s rough, smoky voice with a strong vibrato is distinctive and unique in the music world. Songs are often sung by him screaming, and in ballads he performs them accordingly calmly with a hoarse voice. At the end of the 1970s, the Englishman started solo. Songs like Who Pulled The Night Down and his version of Let˜s Spend The Night Together are still his anthems today. Especially through his live gigs, Roger Chapman gained a large fan base. His Hamburg concert and his show at the WDR-Rockpalast are still unforgotten. A 1. Let˜s Spend The Night Together 2. Keep Forgettin˜ 3. Shape Of Things 4. Who Pulled The Nite Down 5.
