John Waite
b. 4 July 1952, Lancaster, Lancashire, England. Waite is a singer, bass player, and occasional harmonica player who has found greater fame and fortune in the USA than in his native land. A former art student, he began playing in bands in the late 60s and in 1976 formed the Babys with Mike Corby, Tony Brock and Walter Stocker. The Babys split in 1981 after five albums and Waite embarked on a solo career. His debut single, "Change", was not a chart hit and he had to wait until "Missing You" was released from his second album for a breakthrough. In the UK the record made a respectable number 9 but in the USA it went to the top.
