MIDNIGHT STAR

The group was formed in 1976 at Kentucky State University by trumpeter Reggie Calloway, vocalist Belinda Lipscomb, guitarist/drummer/vocalist Melvin Gentry, bassist Kenneth Gant, multi-instrumentalist Bill Simmons, keyboard player/vocalist Bo Watson, and guitarist/keyboardist Jeff Cooper. It was only natural that trombonist, Vincent Calloway (Reginald's younger brother), would later join the group.
