Born February 13, 1950, Peter Gabriel began playing music as a drummer in rock and soul bands. In 1966 with classmates at the British secondary school Charterhouse, he founded a songwriter's collective initially dubbed the Garden Wall. Soon, however, the band became known as
Genesis. The band quickly attained cult status, releasing seven albums.
Gabriel left
Genesis in May 1975 to pursue a solo career. His first three albums were each formally titled "Peter Gabriel," but are known as "Rainy Windshield" (1977) which included the hit "Solsbury Hill", "Fingernails" (1978) which featured "D.I.Y.", and "Melting Face" (1980), bearing "Games Without Frontiers" (a Top Five in Great Britain and a No. 11 hit in the United States) and "Biko."
