This performer has won fifteen Grammy Awards, several Emmy Awards, and has sold over 50 million records worldwide.

He once said “Anybody who thinks that war is romantic obviously hasn't gone through one.” Who is he?

When the lead singer for this band died, the band members thought he was irreplacable. Out of nowhere came a guy who sounded just like the former lead singer, but who had no experience in performing. “The biggest crowd he had ever sang in front of was forty people at a karaoke bar in a bowling alley.” With their new lead singer, this band still performs. The group's founder and creative genius had been a senior product engineer with Polaroid when he laid down the original demo tracks mostly by himself at his home. Their first album, released in 1976, went on to be the biggest selling debut album by any artist up to that time.
