Shenandoah:
When Mike McGuire and guitarist Jim Seales started a band in the clubs of Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1984 they never dreamed their dedication to great music would lead them down such a long and illustrious road. By late 1985 they had added bassist Ralph Ezell, keyboardist Stan Thorn, and a struggling bluegrass singer named Marty Raybon to the mix and were confident they had the winning combination they'd been looking for, and the Grammy award winning group Shenandoah was born. Within their first two years on CBS records, the band scored 5 number one records including "Church on Cumberland Road", "Sunday in the South", and "Next to You Next to Me".
