Peter Frampton's career to date has had profound success and little commercial success. Every musician has critical acclaim and criticism. Yet after research, I have never seen so many hit or misses. Alas, this is my opinion.
My greatest take away is Frampton Comes Alive! and the most internationally recognized song from the album, "Do You Feel Like We Do."
