Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel was born February 13th, 1950 in London, England. The leader of Genesis in the early ’70s, Gabriel released his first solo album in 1977 and began exploring darker, more cerebral territory, incorporating avant-garde, electronic, and worldbeat influences into his music. The record, as well as its two similarly titled successors, established Gabriel as a critically acclaimed cult artist, and with 1982’s Security, he began to move into the mainstream; “Shock the Monkey” became his first Top 40 hit, paving the way for his multi-platinum breakthrough So in 1986. Accompanied by a series of groundbreaking videos and the number one single “Sledgehammer,” So became a multi-platinum hit, and Gabriel became an international star.

Dear Mike,
You brouht back such a great memory for me as I remembver going to see Peter at an outdoor concert in Montreal near Expo and it was pouring rain, so bad that people were leaving, but my boyfrined and I stayed as they hadn’t officially cancelled the concert and then he came out and the first song he sang was one that has “Swimming, swimmming in the river” lyrics in it and it was so funny as it was pouring outside, so it just fit perfectly (the only thing is, for the life of me I can’t remember the name of the song, but I do believe that it was around the “Shock the Monkey” years?) Would you know by any chance?
Thanks,
April
