The Allied Arts Council’s annual Trails West!® Festival in St. Joseph, MO is set to feature English rocker John Waite on Sunday, August 21 at Civic Center Park.
Waite began his career in 1975 as the lead singer of the British rock band The Babys. “Isn’t It Time” (1977) and “Every Time I Think of You” (1978) are the group’s biggest hits, both having reached No. 13 on the pop singles chart. Waite left in 1981 and pursued a solo career, which saw him top the charts with the hit tune, “Missing You” (1984). In 1987, he reunited with a couple of his former The Babys bandmates and formed the supergroup Bad English. The new formation spawned a handful of hits with “When I See You Smile” (1989) and “Price of Love” (1990) garnering the most success having reached No. 1 and No. 5 respectively on the Hot 100. After disbanding in 1991, Waite returned to his solo work and continues to tour and record til this day.
