Benjamin Scott Folds is an American singer and songwriter from North Carolina. Until 1998, he was the frontman for Ben Folds Five, a piano-rock band that released three full albums to moderate critical success. The band broke up for unknown reasons, but judging from interviews and the fact that they had a reunion concert, it didn't seem to be a bitter break-up. After 2000, he began a reasonably successful solo career. In addition, he produced ''Has Been'', a surprisingly well-regarded album by [[William Shatner]]. His album "Lonely Avenue" was a collaboration with Nick Hornby writing the lyrics. |
