From Cincinnati, OH, Reggie and Vincent Calloway's
father was a trumpet player, their aunt sang opera, and their uncle
played keyboards. As a child, Reggie pecked out tunes on his grandmother's
piano.Trumpeter Reggie and trombone player Vincent (both respected
producers),formed after they left Midnight
Star in the late '80s Calloway.They had a gold smash hit with
"I Wanna Be Rich" (number 5 Billboard R&B, and number 2 pop in late
1989),a better showing than Midnight Star had made in a dozen years.The
track was their major hit, followed by "Sir Lancelot" and "All The
Way" from their 1989 debut album All the way.The second album,"Let's
get smooth"issued 3 years later with killers like "Major love" and
"I desire you" (a really choon),but the album proved their last. The
brothers continued working, with Teddy Pendergrass, Pieces of a Dream
and Bootsy Collins, among others.
