About the Guest:

Corey Glover is an American singer, guitarist, and actor. He is the lead vocalist of the rock band Living Colour and has toured as the vocalist for the funk band, Galactic. As an actor, he played Francis in the 1986 war movie Platoon. Glover was born in Brooklyn, New York City. He was an aspiring actor when guitarist Vernon Reid drafted him into Living Colour in 1985, reportedly after seeing Glover singing "Happy Birthday” at a friend's party.

Living Colour found immediate success with the release of their debut album, “Vivid” in 1988. It eventually went platinum in April 1989 and again five years later.[5] The album's single "Cult of Personality" won the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance and the band was named “Best New Artist” at the MTV Video Music Awards.  Living Colour released two more albums (Time’s Up and Stain) before splitting up in 1995. After the split, Glover started a solo career as Reverend Daddy Love and formed the band Vice with guitarist Mike Ciro.

In 1995, Glover participated with an ensemble of notable vocalists, guitarists, bassists, and drummers, including the London Metropolitan Orchestra, to record a Jimi Hendrix tribute album named In From The Storm. Glover provided the vocals for tracks 7 and 8, which were In From The Storm (title track) and Drifting.[6]

Living Colour reunited on December 21, 2000 at CBGB’s during a set by Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbish’s live drum ‘n’ base duo, Headfake. Glover guested on three songs, and Vernon Reid joined them three songs into the set.[7] The reunion was followed by the release of the band's fourth studio album Collideøscope in October 2003.

In August 2006, Glover began co-headlining a national tour of Jesus Christ Superstar playing the role of Judas Iscariot opposite Ted Neeley. He took the place of singer Carl Anderson who had played Judas since 1971 alongside Neeley and was set to reprise the role, but had died of leukemia in 2004. The tour ran through 2010. Glover told Neeley that when he was a child, seeing the movie version of the show was what made him decide to be an entertainer. In June 2008, Glover left the show to rejoin with Living Colour and to work on the next CD.
