COREY GLOVER: Lead singer of Living Colour, the multi-talented Corey Glover has albums as a solo artist and acted in movies/television. Glover met guitarist Vernon Reid in the early '80s. The duo went on to form Living Colour (along with drummer Will Calhoun and bassist Muzz Skillings), but just as the group was creating a buzz in the N.Y.C. underground, Glover had to briefly leave the group when he landed a part in Oliver Stone's classic Vietnam movie, Platoon. Shortly after he returned, Living Colour was signed to Epic (thanks in part to a Mick Jagger-produced demo tape), and scored a big hit with their debut recording, 1989's Vivid, and smash single/video "Cult of Personality." Glover later launched a career as a solo artist, issuing Hymns in 1998, also finding time to appear as a VJ on VH1 and acting in the 1996 movie Loose Women. Glover reunited with his Living Colour chums in 2001 for a tour and a proposed album in the works.
V. JEFFREY SMITH: Creative master musician, producer, writer and vocalist. Jeff has played saxophone, guitar, piano and/ or sang on more records than he can even remember, with a non-ending strand of top notch musicians who transend genre & eras. He is known in part for co-creating The Family Stand – Peter Lord, Sandra St. Victor, and V. Jeffrey Smith – a group that’s returned with their latest offering, In A Thousand Years. The Family Stand burst into the public consciousness in 1990 with their international hit “Ghetto Heaven” from the album Chain. Their follow-up album Moon In Scorpio, released in 1991, is considered a classic. Jeff's solo albims
