Patty Smyth
| Profile and Story. Her labels are Columbia, MCA. Rock are her genres. The story was written on Wikipedia, Patty Smyth is an American singer (Musician). She was born June 26, 1957 (New York City, New York, United States). Smyth released her first solo album, Never Enough, in 1987. It contained her version of the Tom Waits song "Downtown Train", which Rod Stewart would make a hit several years later, and the title track "Never Enough", which was co-written with members of the Hooters. She put out another solo effort in 1992, the self-titled Patty Smyth. Off of that effort, she secured a huge hit record via a duet with Don Henley of The Eagles; "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" peaked at number 2 in the Billboard Hot 100, and was certified gold for sales of 500,000. The album, also certified gold, featured an additional US Top 40 hit with "No Mistakes" and also spawned the minor hit "I Should Be Laughing". Smyth had previously recorded with Henley as a backing singer on several songs on his albums Building The Perfect Beast and The End of the Innocence. Smyth subsequently co-wrote the 1994 song "Look What Love Has Done", nominated for a Grammy and an Academy Award after its inclusion in the soundtrack to the feature film Junior. Further soundtrack commissions resulted in her penning the theme tune, "Wish I Were You", to the 1998 feature film Armageddon. (Her husband, John McEnroe, claims in his autobiography that she was inspired to write the song by his own attempt at a musical career: she was struck by his excitement at playing music, when her feelings about the music industry were far more ambivalent. In 2004, VH1 recruited Smyth and the surviving members of Scandal for a Bands Reunited episode, resulting in a small reunion tour of concerts on the United States East Coast in 2005. The next year, Columbia/Legacy released a new Scandal compilation CD as part of the We Are The 80's series. The compilation contained three unreleased tracks from the 1982 recording sessions ("Grow So Wise", "If You Love Me", "I'm Here Tonight") as well as "All My Life", previously available on the flip side of "Goodbye To You". In July 2008, Billboard reported the upcoming release of new music by the band (featuring original members Keith Mack and Benjy King). They debuted their first single as a band ("Hard For You To Love Me", also referred to as "Make It Hard") in over 24 years on January 17, 2009 in Ridgefield, Connecticut to a standing ovation. Smyth stated the song would be available to purchase digitally in February 2009, with the new EP to follow shortly. However, the single was delayed as the EP will be expanded to a full length album, according to Patty Smyth's blog in May 2009..... reference and read more detail Patty Smyth on Wikipedia | PLAY ON WIDESCREEN TV

Firehouse
| Profile and Story. Their labels are Epic and Pony Canyon. Glam metal, hard rock, heavy metal, melodic rock and pop are their genres. The story was written on Wikipedia, Firehouse is an American singer (Band Group Musician). They were active 1989 - present (Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S.). The history of FireHouse can be traced back to 1984, when Leverty's band White Heat needed a drummer. After over 20 auditions, current FireHouse drummer Michael Foster answered the ad and when Leverty was impressed by his skill, he quickly hired him. When the band wasn't on tour, Leverty and Foster would visit rock clubs, and it was at one of these clubs where they caught sight of a band called Maxx Warrior. Singing for the band was C.J. Snare, and the band's bassist was Perry Richardson. Since Leverty, and Foster were impressed with Snare's vocal ability, they became determined to unite the bands. As soon as Maxx Warrior broke up, Leverty sent Snare some of his songs and asked him to sing on his tape. Foster and Leverty were again impressed, so they brought Snare in to be the band's lead singer for a show in Virginia several weeks later. FireHouse bassist Allen McKenzie in North Dakota in 2007 The three-member group took their tape to Perry Richardson, the ex-bassist for Maxx Warrior, who said he liked it but had promised the band that he was in at the time six months of shows. When the six months was up, Richardson and his new bandmates moved to Charlotte, North Carolina and began recording demos in Leverty's bedroom. The band would record all day and play hotel shows at night to earn income. Since Leverty and Foster's band name of White Heat was trademarked, the band chose FireHouse instead. In December 1989, Michael Caplan of Epic Records flew to New York to see a FireHouse show, and told the band immediately following the performance that they were ready for a record deal. The band went into the studio with David Prater as producer. Prater, having produced bands such as Dream Theater and having drummed with Santana, produced the band's first two albums. | PLAY ON WIDESCREEN TV
