“Born in Swindon, England in 1944, Rick’s love of music began in his childhood listening to Gene Krupa’s ‘Drummin’ Man’ which grew into a lifelong passion for jazz, blues and rock’n’roll,” the band wrote in a tribute posted online.
“As co-writer, along with partner Roger Hodgson, he was the voice and pianist behind Supertramp’s most iconic songs, leaving an indelible mark on rock music history.”
Davies wrote and sang “Goodbye Stranger” and “Bloody Well Right,” in addition to a number of hits for the band.
“His soulful vocals and unmistakable touch on the Wurlitzer became the heartbeat of the bands’ sound,” the band continued.
“Beyond the stage, Rick was known for his warmth, resilience, and devotion to his wife Sue, with whom he shared over five decades. After facing serious health challenges, which kept him unable to continue touring as Supertramp, he enjoyed performing with his hometown buds as Ricky and the Rockets.”
Supertramp added, “Rick’s music and legacy continue to inspire many and bears testament to the fact that great songs never die, they live on.”
