Tommy Banks - Lead Vocal

Born on the bayou in Louisiana, Tommy Banks grew up listening to the old greats of Rhythm and Blues.  "My Momma used to listen to those old 78's, while she was cooking or cleaning the house.  I heard Big Momma Thornton, Bobby ' Blue' Bland, Muddy Waters and later on Ray, Otis, Sam Cooke, The Temps.. If my Momma liked a song she would play it over and over."   

Tommy learned the art of singing a soul song from those old cuts being played repeatedly, "That's how I learned to listen to every nuance of a singer's performance."  Tommy makes a living writing songs for radio and television commercials.
