John Charles Waite (born 4 July 1952) is an English musician. As a solo artist, he has released ten studio albums and is best known for the 1984 hit single “Missing You”, which reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the top ten on the UK Singles Chart. He was also the lead vocalist for the successful rock bands The Babys and Bad English.
His next album, No Brakes, resulted in international success. It was a Top 10 Billboard album in the US due to the smash hit “Missing You” which went to No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It knocked Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” out of No. 1. For that very reason, Turner later recorded and released Waite’s smash song herself. (Turner’s single peaked at No. 84 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1996.) “Missing You” also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Album Rock Tracks as well as the Top 10 of Billboard’ s Adult Contemporary chart. No Brakes sold over a million and a half US copies yet has never been certified above the RIAA Gold standard (a record company must apply to the RIAA for such certification). Two more singles from No Brakes followed, including “Tears” which was a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts.
Waite then returned to solo work. He released the album Rough And Tumble. He has continued to tour, such as in 2003 with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band.
