Waite first came to attention as the lead singer and bassist of The Babys, a British group which had moderate chart success and a solid following for their concert tours.
Waite subsequently launched his solo career with his 1982 debut album Ignition, which produced the hit single "Change", that was included on the Vision Quest soundtrack. His next album, No Brakes, resulted in international attention due to the hit single "Missing You" which went to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
In 1988, Waite joined former Babys bandmates Jonathan Cain and Ricky Phillips along with Neal Schon from Journey and drummer Deen Castronovo, to form the supergroup Bad English.
In 1989, the Bad English ballad "When I See You Smile" (penned by Diane Warren) became a number one song in the United States.
In 2006, "Missing You" was released as a duet with Alison Krauss and reached the Top 40 on the Country Charts in the United States. Waite appeared with Krauss on the Tonight Show on February 5, 2007 to perform "Missing You."
