Pete Wingfield
Pete Wingfield is an English record producer, keyboard player, and singer, best known for his 1975 hit single "Eighteen with a Bullet," which became a classic of the soft rock and blue-eyed soul genres. Born in Liphook, Hampshire, Wingfield began his career as a session musician, working with a wide range of artists including The Hollies, Van Morrison, and Paul McCartney. His expertise on the keyboards and his versatile production skills made him a sought-after collaborator in the British music scene.
Wingfield's solo success with "Eighteen with a Bullet," a song that humorously charted at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 while literally being "with a bullet" (a term indicating a song moving up the charts), cemented his place in music history. Beyond his solo work, Wingfield has contributed to numerous albums as a producer and musician, particularly in the soul and R&B genres. His deep knowledge of music history and his technical proficiency have made him a respected figure in the industry, both as a performer and as a behind-the-scenes force in shaping the sound of British pop and rock.
