What's Happenin' Out There: Bill Champlin: 'live' at Bogies, Westlake Village_Nov 24th

Grammy award winning singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bill Champlin is best known for being a member of the iconic jazz-pop/rock band Chicago, which he joined in 1981 and remained a member of for 28 years. However, his defining work with his band, the Sons of Champlin and as a Grammy award winning songwriter put him on the musical map long before he arrived in Chicago. Early in his career, Bill relocated to Los Angeles and worked as a session lead and background vocalist on numerous recordings from 1977-1985. That included Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Donna Summer, Nancy Wilson, George Benson, Jimmy Smith, Amy Grant, Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers. He also continued writing, and in 1978, he released “Single”, his first solo album. In 1979, Bill won his first Grammy for co-writing “After the Love is Gone”, later recorded by Earth, Wind & Fire, and in 1981, Bill won a Grammy for co-writing “Turn Your Love Around” for George Benson. In 1988 Bill’s recording of the song, “In the Heat of the Night”, was picked up as a show opener by the television show of the same name. Bill released the critically acclaimed “No Wasted Moments” followed by four solo albums and an a cappella release of “West Coast All Stars”, a project he did with Jason Scheff of Chicago, and Toto’s Bobby Kimball and Joseph Williams. Bill’s album, “No Place Left to Fall”, became a career-defining record with an honesty and immediacy that reflect his old-school approach to music.
