Glenn Gregory (born Glenn Peter Gregory 16 May 1958, Sheffield, England) is an English musician. A founding member of Heaven 17, he was partly responsible for hit records such as "Temptation".
Gregory had known the founding members of The Human League for many years. He had been singing and playing bass in bands with Ian Craig Marsh since 1973. In early 1981 he was contacted by Martyn Ware after the original membership of The Human League split, and was asked to join Heaven 17.
He married the singer Sarah Osbourn of the Belgian group, Allez Allez.
In 1984 Gregory sang on the Band Aid single, "Do They Know It's Christmas", singing the line "No rain nor rivers flow".
Outside of Heaven 17, Gregory has been a member of the bands Ugly and Honeyroot, as well as working with Tina Turner, Grace Jones, Propaganda, Terence Trent D'Arby, Ultravox, La Roux and John Lydon.
Famous quotes containing the word gregory:
“There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.”
—John Gregory Brown (20th century)
