Signed to A&M, his first three albums were building the foundations of a solid fan base. The next five years were a period of writing, recording and touring, as well as guesting on many other artists' records, including Nilsson and George Harrison. After five albums with Humble Pie, he went solo in 1971, just in time to see "Rockin' The Fillmore" race up the US charts. He was well on his way.īy 1969, Frampton had formed Humble Pie with ex-Small Faces singer/guitarist Steve Marriott.
Peter was named The Face 0f 1968 by the UK press. By sixteen, Peter had been recruited to be the lead guitarist/singer in The Herd, scoring a handful of British teenybopper hits. At the age of eleven, Peter was playing with a band called The Trubeats, before joining a group called The Preachers, produced and managed by Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones. In fact, Peter and David would spend time together at lunch breaks, playing Buddy Holly songs. By the age of ten, Frampton was playing in a band called The Little Ravens and performed on the same bill at school as George & The Dragons, a group that included David Bowie, then a student of Peter's art teacher/dad, Owen Frampton.
Teaching himself to play, he became near obsessed, and upon receiving a guitar from his parents, mastered that as well. Born in Beckenham, England, on April 22, 1950, Peter first became interested in music as a seven-year old when he discovered his grandmother's banjolele (a banjo-shaped ukulele) in the attic.
