This week’s Rockucation question is:
This now solo artist has been a part of three major bands. His first band was at fourteen, some say fifteen years old where joined one and had a hit with them, he moved on to a second and a third group and had hits. The third band was a super group. He was in others that were very short lived, but the three I mentioned were the major ones. The first two bands were formed in Birmingham, England. He also did a lot of session work. He finally went solo and had hits as well. He sings and is a multiple instrumentalist. Is in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and has two Grammys. He also was one of the Gator Boys in the movie The Blues Brothers 2000. Chaka Khan did backing vocals and appeared in his video for his biggest hit. Whitney Houston also covered it in 1990. Who is he?
