Peter Brian Gabriel, born 13 February 1950, is an English singer, musician and songwriter who rose to fame as the lead vocalist and flautist of the progressive rock group Genesis. After leaving Genesis, Peter Gabriel went on to a successful solo career. More recently Peter Gabriel has focused on producing and promoting world music and pioneering digital distribution methods for music. Peter Gabriel has also been involved in various humanitarian efforts. Peter Gabriel was influenced by many different sources in his way of singing, such as Family lead singer Roger Chapman. In 1970, Peter Gabriel played the flute on Cat Stevens' album, Mona Bone Jakon.

Peter Gabriel recorded his first self-titled solo album in 1976 and 1977 with producer Bob Ezrin. Peter Gabriel's first solo success came with the single "Solsbury Hill", an autobiographical piece expressing his thoughts on leaving Genesis. Sparser versions can be heard on Robert Fripp's Exposure, and on Gabriel's greatest hits compilation Shaking the Tree in 1990. Gabriel worked with guitarist Fripp as producer of his second solo LP, in 1978. This album was leaner, darker and more experimental, and yielded decent reviews, but no major hits. Peter Gabriel is third album by Peter Gabriel. The album contains two of Gabriel's most famous songs, the U.K. Top 10 hit "Games Without Frontiers" and the political song "Biko", about the late anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko.

Peter Gabriel achieved his greatest popularity with songs from the 1986 So album, which produced three UK Top 20 hits "Sledgehammer", "Big Time", and "Don't Give Up" — a duet with Kate Bush. The album also produced three Top 40 hits in the U.S., "Sledgehammer", "In Your Eyes", and "Big Time", as well as the single "Red Rain". "Sledgehammer", peaked at No: 4 in the UK but was a No: 1 hit in the U.S., knocking Genesis' "Invisible Touch" off the top spot. The ballad "Don't Give Up" was about the devastation of unemployment. Peter Gabriel co-produced So with Daniel Lanois, also known for his work with U2 and Brian Eno.

In 1989, Peter Gabriel released Passion, the soundtrack for Martin Scorsese's movie The Last Temptation of Christ. For this work Peter received his first Grammy Award, in the category of Best New Age Performance. Peter Gabriel also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score - Motion Picture. Following this, Peter Gabriel released Us in 1992, an album in which Peter Gabriel explored the pain of recent personal problems; his failed first marriage, and the growing distance between him and his first daughter. Peter Gabriel won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 1993 and 1994 for the videos to "Digging in the Dirt" and "Steam" respectively. Peter Gabriel also won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video for his Secret World Live video.

After five years of not releasing any new music, Peter Gabriel re-emerged with OVO, a soundtrack for the live Millennium Dome Show in London in 2000, and Long Walk Home, the music from the Australian movie Rabbit-Proof Fence, early in 2002. This soundtrack also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score - Motion Picture. In September 2002, Peter Gabriel released Up, his first full-length studio album in a decade. Up was followed by a world tour featuring his daughter Melanie Gabriel on backing vocals, and two concert DVDs, Growing Up Live in 2003 and Still Growing Up: Live & Unwrapped in 2004.

In 2008, Peter Gabriel contributed to the WALL-E soundtrack with several new songs with Thomas Newman, including the film's closing song, "Down to Earth", for which they received the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. The song was also nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Original Song - Motion Picture and the Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2010, Peter Gabriel released Scratch My Back. The album is made up entirely of cover songs including material written by David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Regina Spektor, Neil Young, and more.

Peter Gabriel has a long-standing interest in human rights, and launched Witness, a nonprofit which trains human rights activists to use video and online technologies to expose human rights abuses. In 2006 Peter Gabriel's work with WITNESS and his long standing support of peace and human rights causes was recognised by the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates with the Man of Peace award. In 1994, Peter Gabriel starred in the Breck Eisner short film "Recon" as a detective who enters the minds of murder victims to find their killer's identity. Peter Gabriel's desire to bring attention to the intelligence of primates also took the form of ApeNet, a project that aimed to link great apes through the internet, enabling the first interspecies internet communication. He was one of the founders of On Demand Distribution (OD2), one of the first online music download services. During the latter part of 2004, Peter Gabriel spent time in a village in eastern Nepal with musician Ram Sharan Nepali, learning esoteric vocal techniques. Peter Gabriel subsequently invited Nepali to attend and perform at the Womad festival in Adelaide, Australia.

What is the difference between Peter Rabbit and Peter Cottontail?

I read The Tale of Peter Rabbit. The four bunnies are: Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter. I get the difference there. 2 different bunnies. But the song "Here comes Peter Cottontail... hopping down the bunny trail..." ....any relation to Beatrix Potter? Completely different?

The author is who made the difference. Two different rabbits. Beatrix Potter has written a lot of books for children. I want to see the movie about her that Rene Zellwiger is going to be playing Beatrix.

Of course, you can also remember the song "Here comes Peter Cottontail."
