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:
“Who does not know that kings and rulers sprang from men who were ignorant of God, who assumed because of blind greed and intolerable presumption to make themselves masters of other men, their equals, by means of pride, violence, bad faith, murder, and almost every other kind of crime? Surely the devil drove them on.”
—Pope Gregory VII (c. 1020–1085)
