Roger Hodgson wrote and composed the
following songs. His trademark way
of setting beautiful introspective
lyrics to upbeat melodies resonated
and found its way into the hearts
and minds of people from cultures
around the globe. It is Roger’s
Voice you have been hearing all
these years and the Voice people all
over the world love. Roger began
writing songs at the age of 12 and
performed his first concert of
original songs at the age of 13.
He later recorded some of his songs
with Supertramp and many of them
have become the soundtrack of our
lives. Although Roger and
Supertramp’s other co-founder, Rick
Davies, shared writing credit, they
actually wrote and composed
separately with each singing their
own songs. Rick’s songs are not on
this list. Every song Roger performs
in concert was written and composed
solely by him.
Consistently uniting four
generations at his concerts, Roger
transports baby boomers back to
their youth and gives younger
generations a taste of why his
heartfelt songs have endured. His
songs have remarkably stood the test
of time and earned him an adoring
worldwide following.

**Note: Although the above songs that Roger recorded with Supertramp were credited Hodgson/Davies, Roger and Rick actually wrote and composed separately from the album,
Indelibly Stamped, on. While many of Roger's songs are referred to as Supertramp songs even to this day, Roger wrote alone and not with Rick or the band. All of his songs, including the arrangements, were complete before taking them to the band. In fact, Roger wrote many of his songs that he recorded with Supertramp before he even met Rick and co-founded the band in 1969. While Roger is credited on the songs that Rick wrote, they are not listed on Roger's repertoire and he does not perform them in concert.
