I am honored to have Bill Champlin on the show. Bill is a singer, songwriter, keyboardist, guitarist and producer. Starting with his group the Sons of Champlin, and being part of the band Chicago, he also is an in demand session man, having worked with Al Jarreau, George Duke, Boz Scaggs, Elton John, The Tubes, Lee Ritenour, Amy Grant and many more. He co-wrote the Earth, Wind and Fire hit "After The Love Has Gone," with Jay Graydon and David Foster, and also co-wrote George Benson's hit "Turn Your Love Around" with Jay Graydon and Steve Lukather. We talk to Bill about his guitar playing and how it has impacted his music, songwriting and producing, spanning his session work, solo works and the groups he has been in.
