Band Websitemyspace.com/tamarachamplinmusic
Band Members Tamara Champlin began working as a singer in Houston, evolving into a sessions musician as well, before moving to LA. Shortly after that, she would meet and later marry musician, singer/songwriter Bill Champlin. Credits include working with Mickey Gilley's band in the 1980 film Urban Cowboy, touring with Rita Coolidge, the Jim Carey Movie "Copper Mountain" in 1983 (also with Rita Coolidge and Bill Champlin) and the video of "Heartbeat" with Don Johnson in 1986. She also sang with a horn band locally called Pockets and eventually developed her own solo band doing original material. It was during this period she was featured as a regular singer on the Alan Thicke show and performed during the unprecedented 13 hour concert in 1988 celebrating the 40 years of Atlantic City Records. Tamara then released a solo album with BMG/RCA after signing with the label in 1991 in London with many of the tracks being used on her later solo album released in 1995 entitled "You Won't Get to Heaven Alive." The title track of the album would chart in the Top 20 in Spain and "Tragic Black" written by Tamara and long time writing partner Michael Caruso would be number 1 in Germany. She has written with or for such artists as Elton John, Andreas Carlson and Douglas Carr and has done background vocals for many others such as Richard Marx and Mister,Mister. She also co-wrote the 1996 hit for the late Chris LeDoux, "Runaway Love." In between these solo accomplishments she has performed with the Bill Champlin band that toured in Europe in the mid 90's and most recently was a guest performer of both the Sons of Champlin and the Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns in Las Vegas. She still continues writing and performing, last year working with son Will Champlin, also a singer/songwriter/producer in his own right, on Lori Michael's cd "Living My Life Out Loud" where they share song writing credits for the title song. This year she again she shares co-writing credits on Will's new single, "Killing Me With Twilight."

Morning Tamara!
Will was really great on Lauren's Ustream last night! Had a great time. Hopefully he'll do something like that more often...especially cause it really seemed to run pretty smooth with a minimun of nonsense from some of those people. And yeah, I gotta' go see that kid perform live...he's really incredible. But you already knew that...;-)
Take care,
Lisa(Brooklyn)

STOP Same Sex Abuse





May 1 2009 2:34 AM

About this page:
I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D

Tamara that makes sense...should have figured out BILL was the one to change it up a bit...;-)
Glad you put it out there now, again. You have no idea how many musical doors that ONE song alone has opened for my ears over the last few years. It's the one that grabbed me, sat me down and said "LISTEN DAMMIT!" to The Sons. Was all downhill from there...at high speed, with no brakes. Funny thing is, IMO it should have been on a Bill solo and not The Sons.

Maybe it'll be on a new CD you're hopefully working on????

Great song! I've never heard the other versions, but I don't think they could be any better!

Hey Tamara,

I just listened to 'I'm Not Your Lover' and absolutely loved it. I loved your vocal phrasing. You sing with so much soul.

Hey, I also saw you in 'Urban Cowboy' the other night on HBO. I told Will it was cool seeing you on TV. My friend Patty Ryan was happy they were airing it again. It means a little more mailbox money for her. She wrote the theme song, 'Looking For Love'.

Anyway, wished I could have been at the barbeque. I bet it was a good time. Hope Will had a great birthday this year! God bless.

John
