Biography
John Waite rose to fame as the lead singer of the Babys and Bad English, showcasing his talent for power ballads and arena rock in the '70s and '80s. Hits like "Missing You," "Isn't It Time," and "When I See You Smile" solidified his presence on album-oriented rock radio stations, although his solo career faced challenges in maintaining consistent commercial success.
Forming the Babys in 1976 and transitioning to a solo career in 1982, Waite's musical journey included chart-topping successes with "Missing You" from his second solo album, but subsequent releases saw mixed results. The formation of Bad English in 1989 with former bandmates reignited his success with hits like "When I See You Smile," but the group disbanded after their second album in 1991. Waite continued his solo endeavors in the 21st century, releasing albums like "Rough & Tumble" in 2011, showcasing his enduring passion for rock music.
