"Breakfast in America" Written & Composed by Roger Hodgson of Supertramp

[@kenfederighi461]

I took my son-in -law to see Roger a few years ago, in Annapolis,Maryland. He surprised me by buying “Meet and Greet” tickets. Having been a Supertramp fan since I was 6 years old, I couldn’t speak when I was in front of Roger! Still, it was one of the best days of my life! He is truly a gentleman!

[@papahorst]

i agree --- me too have met him -- he was so kindly and speak like i am his neighbor -- it was fantastic

[@nmatheus]

I'm so jealous:)

[@irisbarahona7608]

Q súper ❤️ me imagino q te da sentimiento cuando cuentas esa experiencia 😅❤

[@kyawkyawwin1]

Crime of the Century was one of the greatest albums of the 1970s; Breakfast in America just as good.

[@NiecieSavo]

My friend Raymond loved this song. He passed away today at only 52. I'll miss him so much. I'm crying listening to this.

[@PAND3MONIUM]

Raymond had great taste *May he rest in peace*

Roger Hodgson is an absolute treasure. He has such an intimate rapport with his audience, and the joy and thrill he still gets from discussing his songs is a delight to behold. Hope you keep performing for many more years, Rog!

Taking me back to 1979! Just turned 16, got my drivers license...bought this album...Great music! Thank you, Roger

[@certifiedutubeuser4905]

Me too at 16 back in 79, days were so good back then.

[@jules7111]

I worked in a record store from the mid '70's early 80's.. When I divorced some how my ex ended up my Supertramp LP/Vinyl.. One day when my son in his 20's and living with his dad, one day he said mom!!! I think this is yours and played 3 Supertramp songs !! I was so very proud of him because he's been playing the guitar since he was 8 and doesn't read music. And his style of music is not his thing. But he found this. Guess it touched his heart and mine... Such a welcome surprise..

[@1LaOriental]

Roger Hodgson what a sweet; warm; genuine and big hearted man! ♥️😍♥️😍♥️

[@StevenDietrich-k2w]

You can just tell Roger loves performing by the absolute joy on his face during the entire performance. His voice is still so strong as well. The high notes don't even seem to be a challenge like they would be for so many others.

I'm young, just 28, heard this song, searched a little to learn more about it, you wrote that said 40 years ago, and now, 40 years later, I'm listening to this and enjoy it. Maybe in 100 years, this song, like other legendary songs from 60s to 80s, will still be listen by some people. I like " It's raining again " too, and this song fit well with my country, it's raining 200+ days per year in Belgium.

That amazing night at the Royal Albert Hall in London!, I had the great privilege of being present during this show, a magical atmosphere, a really special connection. Still remember nitidamente happy faces of all viewers, and how to sing and dance with Roger during the show that night. This song highlights the youth of our hearts, the adventure of life.

[@juliedubsky9039]

Although I'm sure seeing Roger in the Royal Albert Hall is amazing . . equally AMAZING is seeing him play live anywhere! I have been lucky enough to see him 7 times over the past couple years and everytime is wonderful! You feel as if he is only singing to you! . . . and the last time i saw him, he dedicated "lovers in the wind" to me and my family! priceless!

Onde está assim?

[@kyawkyawwin1]

True - no idea why.

[@rubyhabs]

Totally agree with all the sentiments. I was sold on the group the first time I heard the album "Breakfast in America" when it first came out. The vocals, instrumentals, beat are so uplIfting: it all comes together. There's a lot of depth to Roger, and it reflects in his songs and music. I'd put him and the group up against anyone, any genre, any era.

[@Rowlph8888]

Should have Decided on a different, more exciting name. The songwriting is sublime. Don't forget that they are one of the original wave of bands from the British invasion of United States scene throughout the 70s, after the Beatles, where Brit bands dominated the scene E.g. Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John, David Bowie, Queen,Deep purple,The who, Cream , black sabbath and then later Iron Maiden, and the new wave of 80s e.g. Duran Duran,, sex Pistols, Phil Collins, Genesis, Depeche Mode, Et cetera. There wasn't a lot of room for other successful bands, and small details, were vital especially, if you want from the US, e.g.Intensiity of touring, and marketing Capability of your record label

[@derekwillt]

Many things to love here - Roger's beaming smile, the audience throwing around red heart balloons, an upbeat and body-swaying tune - and to think Roger wrote it in his teens, even before the days of Supertramp!

[@nuskysa]

Isn't it awesome that a young boy once wrote such a sweet song, expressing his dreams, and some time after, all his dreams became true?. Only a true gifted man like Roger can get this success. Because, yes, dreams become true if you strongly believe in them I love this video, I was there at RAH, it was one of the most terrific shows I've ever lived! It was magic all of us together rising up our balloons and singing along and clapping and enjoying as one! Don't miss Roger live if he plays by your area, you won't regret. I promise!
