GROUP BIOGRAPHIES

   GLENN LEONARD: 
   A native of Washington, DC, Glenn successfully established 3 groups by the time he was in his early 20’s: The Chancellors, The Instant Groove, and The True Reflections.  He was also a member of another popular and successful recording group from Washington called The Unifics. He recorded his first record with his first group, The Chancellors on Cap City Records. He later would record with The True Reflection on Atlantic Records.
   With the success of his groups, Leonard soon would come to the attention of the world renowned Tempts in 1975, who were looking for a new lead singer.  Glenn had a long, illustrious career as the first tenor and lead singer of the Tempts from 1975-1983. He sang on 10 albums with them, and appeared on television specials world-wide.  Most noted for songs like, I’m on Fire; Go for It, The Best of Both Worlds, Eyes, Ever Ready Love, and the Christmas classic, Silent Night, from their esteemed Christmas album. 
   One of Glenn's most memorable moments with the group was when they did the “Reunion.” Sharing the stage and recording with the likes of Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, Dennis Edwards, Richard Street, Otis Williams and the greatest bass singer to ever live, Melvin Franklin.
   After leaving The Tempts in 1984, he became a born again Christian.  He entered into full time ministry and was licensed in 1986. He became ordained and received a doctorate degree in the early 90’s.
   In 2002, Leonard decided to reunite some of the great former members together, to share the history and to give back to the fans. Over the years, some of this all-star cast included former Temptations Damon Harris, Ali Woodson, Barrington Henderson, GC Cameron, and the late Ray Davis and Harry Barry.  As a testament to the super talented supporting cast, Joe Herndon was hired away from Glenn's group for a long run as The Temptations bass singer.
   Mr. Leonard has hand selected his current group, all with a long history with Glenn and a variety of national recording groups. They've had amazing reviews world-wide because of their vocal talent, showmanship on stage, and personalities off-stage. Glenn Leonard currently resides in Washington, DC, and is a 2013 inductee into the R&B Music Hall of Fame!

   SHELTON PRICE:
   Born Washington DC, Price grew up singing in church on the junior and young adult choirs. By Junior High School, Shelton was playing in the school band and singing on various programs. By the time he was 15 years old he was singing with the Message Band for high-end social events for the likes of Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and for various political events.  At 23 years old, he went on the road with the pop band The Satisfactions, and continued singing and acting in several plays and musicals. Shelton would later join national recording group Skip Mahoney and the Casuals, and first joined Glenn Leonard's Temptations Revue in 2019.  He is also an accomplished solo artist paying tribute to Marvin Gaye, Frankie Beverly and other top R&B vocalists. 

   KAREEM ALI:
   From the Baltimore, MD  area, Kareem has been a member of this group for well over 20 years. Beginning his professional career at a young age, Ali and Damon Harris, who is a former member of the Tempts, sang together in a group called the Vandelles. They recorded for T-Neck Records and were produced by the Isley Brothers. Kareem and Damon went on to form a new group called Impact, who would record for Atlantic Records and toured throughout the United States and Europe. Kareem has a very keen eye and ear for music production and is a renown choreographer while holding down several vocal parts for Glenn Leonard's Temptations Revue. 
   Kareem lives in the Baltimore, MD area.

   ANDRE JACKSON:
   He is definitely one of the most powerful vocalists to grace the stage today. André has been singing since the age of 5 but he really began to “sang” as a tenor in the Cardozo HS choir, his first group was named the Terrible Tenors, his first song, “Always and Forever” by Heatwave.  André went off to college in Pennsylvania but would return home to the DC area.  André has been working in education since 1994.   Most of those years have been teaching children with special needs.  André was introduced to Pete Marshall, lead singer of “The Choice 4”, a legendary group that hit it big in the 70’s out of Washington, DC. André can proudly say that he was the last member of the Choice 4 and performed with them for several years.  André learned a lot from The Choice 4 and vowed to put it to use in his band, Sudden M Pac. A few years later Pete Marshall would introduce André to Glenn Leonard, formerly of The Temptations, and he has been with the group since.

   TIM BROOKS:

   He's performed with a who's who of talent throughout the U.S., and enjoys bringing his booming bass sound to audiences around the world with Glenn Leonard's Temptations Revue.
