Breakfast in America written and composed by Roger Hodgson, co-founder and voice of Supertramp. The songs Roger Hodgson sings that are often referred to as Supertramp songs are songs that Roger wrote and composed alone - this is how he creates music. He will often hear the musical composition first, then the lyrics come.

This video of Roger performing "Breakfast in America" is from Roger's first ever DVD from one of his live solo concerts in Canada. "Take the Long Way Home -- Live in Montreal" went Platinum in just seven weeks and hit #1 in all of Canada and is now multi-Platinum and Gold in France and Germany. Get a copy for yourself at http://www.RogerHodgsonStore.com.

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. Supertramp as a band never wrote and composed together; there were only two songwriters for the band. 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.

Shares about Roger's concerts:

"A great artist, a great venue. The sound was also excellent and the ambiance was super. Even for the musician in me, it was a pure delight for the eyes and the ears. I was heading for a show that night, but Roger Hodgson turned it into a memorable evening."

"You brought back memories hidden in me for so long. I had the best time since I don't remember."

"What a timeless song and a timeless voice. This is one of those rare instances when an artist performs a song years after it was first recorded and it's MORE powerful than the original."

@all4amcandoltl Thanks!!! Portuguese has a nice melody. If you're interested, the cover of my Youtube is a very famous Brazilian music that I used to honor my wife. maybe you do not understand the lyrics, but possibly like the melody. And thanks again. Roger Hodgson Rules!!!!

@jroliveira1966 What a beautiful language you speak and write! I'm glad you interpreted your comment in English for me and THANK YOU for doing so. It's a real shame for those who don't take the time (or even want to take the time) to find out what is being said in a different language. I think many of us forget (including me sometimes) that English is NOT everyone's first language. So again my thanks for clarifying your comment and again what a beautiful language you speak and write.

@jroliveira1966 Why somebody would mark yoiur comment spam I don't know. I mean so what if it is in a different language. Even though I have NO IDEA what nationality you are, if I could imagine what you are commenting here, it would be my guess that you are saying "What a voice!"

@vodude - In the original song, it is definitely a clarinet.

@TomNew1000 - That's a soprano sax. Looks very much like a clarinet, but sax's are made of brass.
