Founded in 1969 by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, Supertramp were the benefactor of a Dutch millionaire, Stanley August Miesegaes, who bankrolled their initial lineup. After two unsuccessful albums, the band changed lineup, adding two members of the Alan Bown set, and created one of the most classic and enduring albums of the era, Crime of the Century, reaching their commercial peak in the early 1980s. Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983.
