The music of Supertramp totally changed after Roger left to match Rick’s musical influence, which is more jazz and blues. Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983 and the Supertramp that most people know has not existed for over 30 years. The songs Roger sings lead vocals on are the ones he composed the music and lyrics for, and the songs Rick sings lead vocals on are the ones that he wrote. So Supertramp as a band never wrote and composed together, there were only two songwriters for the band. When he was with Supertramp, he would make a demo of the song and bring it to the band for them to learn their parts. Sometimes he will hear the whole song complete inside himself before he puts it down on paper and records it. He will often hear the musical composition first, then the lyrics come. The songs Roger Hodgson sings that are often referred to as “Supertramp songs” are songs that Roger wrote and composed alone - that is how he creates music.
And with that goal in mind, we have prepared the following song list and historical information answering some of the questions that we are often asked. It is our hope to give Roger the honor and appreciation for his musical creations that have given the world so much. So, our intention is to help the public realize who the actual songwriters were behind the classic “Supertramp” songs so that when people hear Roger’s voice, “one of the most recognizable voices in rock history,” they will recognize it as Roger Hodgson, the songwriter and composer of the songs we love.
Many fans have written in and asked who really wrote and composed Supertramp’s songs.
