As frontman for Mötley Crüe\, Vince Neil came to exemplify all things rock and roll\: the sound\, the look\, the outrageous lifestyle. Neil’s unmistakable voice leads some of the greatest rock songs of this generation including &ldquo\;Shout At The Devil\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Home Sweet Home\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Girls\, Girls\, Girls\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Dr. Feelgood\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Kickstart My Heart\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Same Ol Situation\,&rdquo\; and the recent &ldquo\;Saints of Los Angeles\,&rdquo\; which was nominated for a Grammy Award in early 2009 for Best Hard Rock Performance.
After selling 80 million records around the world\, Vince Neil and Mötley Crüe have spent the past year and a half playing before more than a million rock fans across the globe including Crüe Fest\, the top rock festival of 2008 and Crüe Fest 2 which solidified the Mötley Crüe powered rock fest as a top bill for summer rock.
As a solo artist\, Vince’s Top 200 Billboard albums\, Exposed (which reached number 13 on the Billboard Albums chart) and Carved In Stone have spurred the hits &ldquo\;You’re Invited (But Your Friend Can’t Come)&rdquo\; (co-written by Neil with Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw)\, &ldquo\;Can’t Have Your Cake&rdquo\; (co-written by Neil with Steve Stevens) and &ldquo\;Sister Of Pain&rdquo\; (co-written by Neil with Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw).
The Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation (www.skylarneil.org)\, a tribute to Vince’s daughter whom he lost to cancer in 1995\, to date has raised over $2 million to help combat childhood cancer. When he is not performing or raising money for charity\, Neil is also an accomplished businessman overseeing his latest entrepreneurial efforts which include Feelgoods Rock Bar and Grill in West Palm Beach and most recently in Las Vegas\; Vince Neil Ink\, a Las Vegas based body art shop with two locations -- one on the Las Vegas strip and one in the Rio Casino\; Tres Rios tequila and Vince Neil Aviation.
Raised on the tough streets of Compton\, California\, Vince Neil fell in love with music as a child\, developing a broad vocabulary that ranged from classic Motown to hard rock. As a teenager\, he began performing with local bands and soon discovered both a passion for the stage and a natural talent as a singer and performer. He fronted the popular band Rock Candy before reuniting with high school buddy Tommy Lee and in 1981\, rock and roll history was sealed with the formation Mötley Crüe.

\\"Dude\, I knew you could sing\, but I had no idea you could do that blue-eyed soul thing!\\"
Producer Randy Jackson paid that compliment to Travis Tritt\, after recording a duet between Tritt and soul man Sam Moore for Moore's 2006 album\, Overnight Sensational. Then he made a suggestion. \\"If you ever want to do an album that puts a bigger spotlight on that\,\\" Jackson said\, \\"I'd love to work on it with you.\\"
The end result of that conversation is The Storm\, Tritt's widely-praised 2007 release. Tritt and Jackson teamed up to create a powerhouse collection of songs that emphasize the irresistible soul side of Tritt's singing. It's a card that has always been in Tritt's stylistic deck\, but one that has often been overlooked by listeners unfamiliar with the deep musical links between country and R&\;B\, particularly in the South.
And in Jackson\, Tritt found the ideal collaborator. Before he gained acclaim for his role as a judge on \\"American Idol\,\\" Jackson had played bass with artists ranging from Aretha Franklin to Journey. Demonstrating that type of range is precisely the aim of The Storm.
\\"Growing up just outside Atlanta\, to the north of us you've got the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville\,\\" Tritt explains. \\"A little bit South you've got Macon\, Georgia - home of the Allman Brothers\, the Marshall Tucker Band and Capricorn Records. And off to west you've got Delta blues. Sprinkle Southern gospel over the top of that\, and you're talking about where I came from. I loved all of that music.\\"
To make that point\, \\"You Never Take Me Dancing\,\\" the first single from The Storm\, opens with Tritt's bluesy moans and a seductive acoustic slide guitar\, before settling into the funkiest groove this side of Stevie Wonder's \\"Superstition.\\" The song was written by Richard Marx\, who also collaborated with Tritt on \\"Doesn't the Good Outweigh the Bad\,\\" a rollicking relationship song that grew out of Tritt and his wife's experience building a new house. \\"You know how they say that if your marriage can survive building a house it can survive anything?\\" Tritt asks\, laughing. \\"That is absolutely a fact.\\"

The Guess Who
The Guess Who\, the band that became Canada’s first international rock music superstars\,
began in 1962 in Winnipeg as Chad Allen &\; The Reflections. Including members Randy
Bachman (guitar)\, Jim Kale (bass) and Garry Peterson (drums)\, Chad Allen and the
Reflections had become Chad Allen and the Expressions by the time they recorded a
cover of “Shakin’ All Over”\, released by Quality Records in 1965. The song was a #1
single in Canada and reached #22 in America. Burton Cummings joined the group that
same year\, replacing the keyboard player and sharing lead vocals.
Quality Records released the group’s first single and album\, Shakin’ All Over\, in a plain
white record jacket with only the question “Guess Who?” written on it. The marketing
ploy capitalized on curiosity and the promise of another British Invasion band. It
worked. After selling two million copies the band had its trademark name\: The Guess
Who. Following the success of Shakin’ All Over\, the band toured the U.S. as part of Dick
Clark’s Caravan of Stars Road Revue and in 1967 they landed a regular spot on the CBCTV
show\, Where It’s At.
Experimenting with the sounds of freedom\, psychedelic\, and garage rock that were
filtering across the border from Minneapolis\, The Guess Who traveled to Minneapolis\,
where they did their first recordings at K-Bank Studios. Their song “His Girl” gave the
band a Top 20 hit in England\, an offer to sign with London-based King Records\, and the
opportunity to tour. They immediately left for the U.K. After just one album\, the band
quit King Records and returned to Canada. After recording the promotional album A
Wild Pair (with The Staccatos on the flipside) for Coca-Cola and appearing on the TV
show Let’s Go\, the homecoming of The Guess Who was marked by the sale of their
Quality Records contract for $1\,000 to Nimbus 9\, owned by producer Jack Richardson.
Richardson believed so strongly in The Guess Who that he mortgaged his home to
finance the recording of the album\, Wheatfield Soul\, which was released in 1968. The
first single\, “These Eyes”\, reached #1 in Canada\, and earned the band a U.S. contract
with RCA Records. Heralded as the beginning of the Canadian Invasion\, “These Eyes”
reached #3 in America in 1969 with total sales of more than one million copies. Their
second album for RCA\, Canned Wheat by The Guess Who\, also released in 1968\,
contained the Top 10 hits “Laughing”\, “No Time”\, and the Top 40 hit “Undun” (the Bside
of “Laughing”).
Ironically it was “American Woman”\, from March of 1970\, which gave The Guess Who
a #1 single in the U.S. and unseated The Beatles for three weeks straight. The Top 10
album\, also entitled American Woman\, containing the hits “No Sugar Tonight/New
Mother Nature” (the B-Side of American Woman)\, also went to #1 in Billboard for three
weeks.
This new trend of having double sided singles both going to #1 was a rare occurrence\,
only achieved by\; Elvis\, The Beatles\, The Rolling Stones\, The Guess Who\, and
Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The popularity of the band earned them an invitation to perform at the White House
before Prince Charles and the President and Mrs. Nixon\, although she requested that the
band not perform “American Woman.” It was during this peak of The Guess Who’s
success that Randy Bachman decided to leave the band (replaced by guitarists Kurt
Winter and Greg Leskiw)\; he formed Bachman Turner Overdrive shortly thereafter.
Over the next few years the group continued to chart with the singles “Hand Me Down
World”\, “Share The Land”\, “Bus Rider”\, “Rain Dance”\, “Albert Flasher”\, “Star Baby”
and “Clap for the Wolfman” (which reached #6 on the Billboard Charts)\, and the album
Greatest Hits. In all\, the group has 14 bona fide Top 40 Hits to its credit!
After 10 years with the band\, Burton Cummings left in 1975 to pursue a successful solo
career. The original members of the The Guess Who appeared sporadically over the
ensuing years\: Jim Kale continued the band with new members through the late 70’s\;
Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings toured together in 1983\; there was a brief
reunion from which an album and concert video were released in 1985\; and the band
appeared together when they were inducted into the Canadian Recording Arts &\; Sciences
(CARAS) Hall of Fame in 1987.
In 1999 The Guess Who returned to their Winnipeg roots\, responding to a personal
request from the Premier of Manitoba\, to appear at the closing ceremonies of the Pan Am
Games. The reunion was performed in driving rain before a combined live and television
audience of nearly a million people. The excitement and personal enjoyment found in
performing together again as The Guess Who inspired them to consider touring across
Canada. Months of reunion rumors were finally confirmed in March 2000 when the
Running Back Thru Canada tour announced more than 24 performances in over 22 cities
across Canada.
The emergence of “classic rock” radio stations throughout North America has broadened
the base of the group’s loyal followers to include more of the baby boomer generation\, on
down to today’s teenagers. A typical audience at a concert by The Guess Who will
contain fans from 16 to 60 years old. The popularity of The Guess Who has increased
tremendously due to the strength and the highly regarded reputation of their live concert
performances.
Although membership in the group has changed through the years\, they have remained
musically consistent behind the strengths of original members Jim Kale (bass and vocals)
and Garry Peterson (drums and vocals). Additionally\, current members include Derek
Sharp (vocals and guitars)\, Leonard Shaw (keyboards\, flute\, sax and vocals) and Laurie
MacKenzie (guitars and vocals). As they perform hit after hit in concert\, it is easy to see
and hear why The Guess Who remain one of today’s most sought after touring
attractions.
