Bill Champlin is best known for being a member of the legendary band, Chicago, which he joined in 1981. However, his career encompasses a whole lot more.
Bill's first band, The Opposite Six, was formed in 1961, while he was still
in high school. Later, The Sons of Champlin formed in 1965 as a 5 piece band, and later expanded to 7 members. The Sons recorded 7 commercially released albums between 1968 and 1977 and gained a devoted fan base. However, they never quite made it on the national scene, and disbanded in 1977.
At this point, Bill moved to L.A. to begin his solo career and also to write and record on many other artist's albums. Bill received 2 grammy awards for
his song writing and has released 7 solo albums. He has recording credits on
numerous albums by various artists that cover a 30 year period, in addition
to recording and touring with Chicago.
In 1997, the Sons of Champlin reformed and are performing again, whenever
Chicago's schedule permits. Over the past few years, the Sons have also
released 2 live albums and a DVD, as well as their first new studio album in
almost 30 years, "Hip Li'l Dreams".
