John Waite

John Waite has been successfully writing, recording, and performing some of the most listenable, enduring, and appreciated popular music for more than 35 years that one cannot help but both recognize and marvel at the shimmering legacy of this British born rock star.  He went barreling at runaway train speed to international acclaim and U.S. platinum success thanks to the smash hit, ‘Missing You,’ which did not stop until it reached Number 1 on the Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles, Album Rock Tracks, and Adult Contemporary charts. The following up single, ‘Tears‘ was a top 10 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. Continuing to evolve as both a songwriter and formidable stage presence, Waite had two follow up hits with ‘Every Step of the Way,’ and ‘If Anybody Had a Heart,’ which appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 motion picture, About Last Night starring Demi Moore. Next he fronted supergroup, Bad English whose mega-hit ‘When I See You Smile,’ went to Number 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and was certified Gold. The album reached Top Five and sold more than two million units in the U.S. alone.
