Pablo Cruise was an American pop band composed of David Jenkins (guitars & vocals), Cory Lerios (keyboards & vocals), Steve Price (drums) and Bud Cockrell (bass & vocals). The band formed in 1973 in the San Francisco, California area and had a series of hit singles between 1977 and 1981.
Their first hit was "Whatcha Gonna Do?" (1977). This was followed by other chart hits, "Love Will Find a Way", "Don't Want to Live Without It" (both 1978), and "Cool Love" (1981).
The rising popularity of New Wave pushed the band off the charts in the early 1980s.[1]
In 2004, the band reunited. Joining original members, Cory, Dave and Steve was George Gabriel on bass and vocals. The band is still together and touring all across the United States.
History
Pablo Cruise began in 1975, when the band released its first album, the self-titled Pablo Cruise.[2] Consisting of David Jenkins (musician) on guitar and vocals, Cory Lerios on keyboards and vocals), Steve Price on drums and Bud Cockrell on bass and vocals, the band's first album was a minor success. Initially, there were many fans who were left wondering who Pablo Cruise really was. When asked the question, the band, which is a quartet, would answer, "he's the guy in the middle." When asked what Pablo Cruise meant, the band would say that "Pablo represents an honest, real, down to earth individual; and Cruise depicts his fun loving and easy going attitude towards life." [3]
