外文名：Whiteheart 国籍：美国 经纪公司：EMI百代唱片 简介：White Heart, also listed as Whiteheart, was a Contemporary Christian Music pop-rock band which formed in 1982. White Heart's discography includes thirteen albums, the most recent of which was released in 1997. Original members Billy Smiley and Mark Gersmehl worked with a continually-changing cast of band-mates. In 1985, former roadie Rick Florian became the lead singer. Although White Heart has not officially "retired" as a band, remaining members Smiley, Gersmehl and Florian are each pursuing other interests. Smiley started his own label, Cul-de-Sac Records. Gersmehl continues to write music and has released solo efforts. Florian is a real estate agent in the Franklin, Tennessee area and also continues to sing for various recording projects. 从艺历程：White Heart formed in 1982 with two of its members coming from Bill Gaither's group. The first two albums were produced by Smiley and Huff, the two friends who formed the group and were listening to groups like Toto, Boz Scaggs, Journey, and Steely Dan at the time.The original lineup consisted of Billy Smiley (guitar, keyboards, and occasional lead vocals), Mark Gersmehl (keyboards and occasional lead vocals), Steve Green (lead vocals), Gary Lunn (bass), and brothers Dann and David Huff (guitars/vocals & drums respectively). Whiteheart was pursued by every major Christian label until Chris Christian heard their demo and signed them to Home Sweet Home Records and gave them their first record deal. By the time they released their third album, they were selling in excess of 250,000 albums.After their self-titled debut album was released in 1982, the band suffered its first lineup change. Green left the band, saying that rock was not his style. They went on to tour with David Meece and Farrell and Farrell for the next two years, building their fan base, with Scott Douglas as Green's replacement as lead vocalist. Green continued to sing background vocals on Vital Signs, and they had their first No. 1 single, We Are His Hands, with Douglas singing the lead, and Smiley and Green singing the harmonies. The band released its second album, Vital Signs, in 1984. Douglas was with the band for two years before being charged with aggravated sexual battery on June 30, 1985. He was sentenced to prison in March 1986. Dann Huff left the band shortly after to pursue his dream of being a studio musician, and recommended his high school friend, Gordon Kennedy as his replacement for the WhiteHeart album, Hotline. Later, in 1985, David Huff left the band to pursue other interests as well, including touring with Michael W. Smith. Eventually, he would join his brother Dann to form the hard rock band Giant. 荣誉记录：尽管白心乐队被认为是有史以来演奏当代基督教音乐的首屈一指的乐队之一，尽管他们拥有许多冠军单曲和专辑，但他们从未获得过格莱美奖或鸽子奖。2010 年 11 月 6 日，白心乐队被选入基督教音乐名人堂。 乐团成员：Billy Smiley – guitars, keyboards, backing vocals, occasional lead vocals (1982–1997) Mark Gersmehl – keyboards, backing vocals, occasional lead vocals (1982–1997) Rick Florian – lead vocals (1986–1997) (the band intentionally misspelled his name differently on each album) Steve Green – lead vocals, backing vocals (1982–1983) Dann Huff – lead vocals, guitars (1982–1984) David Huff – drums, percussion, backing vocals (1982–1985) Gary Lunn – bass (1982–1986) Scott Douglas – lead vocals (1984–1985) Gordon Kennedy – guitars, backing vocals, occasional lead vocals (1985–1989) Chris McHugh – drums, percussion (1986–1989, 1992) Tommy Sims – bass, keyboards, backing vocals, occasional lead vocals (1986–1989) Mark Nemer – drums, percussion (1990) Anthony Sallee – bass (1990–1993) Brian Wooten – guitars (1990–1995) Jon Knox – drums, percussion (1991–1996) John Thorn – bass (1993–1995) Kevin Mills – bass (1995–1996) Barry Graul – guitars (1996) Mike Mead– drums (1996) Mark Hill – bass (1996) Scott Bernard - Lead Guitar (2014)
