John Waite: The Lyric Theatre
He’s been called “The golden voice of rock” and as a solo artist and the lead singer of The Baby’s and the supergroup Bad English, England’s John Waite was a fixture of album-oriented rock radio stations during the ‘70s and ‘80s. He had a talent for power ballads and driving arena rock, while occasionally touching on New Wave-styled power pop, as well. Waite’s catalogue of hits features some of the most beloved songs of the ‘80s and ‘90s, including the smash hit, “Missing You,” The Baby’s “Isn’t it Time,” and Bad English’s “When I See You Smile” which went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and earned a Gold-certified single. They rank among some of his biggest international hits and still get airplay today. Other hits include “Tears,” “Change,” “These Times Are Hard for Lovers,” and “Every Step of the Way.”
