Linear was an American Latin freestyle-pop trio from Miami, Florida. The lineup consisted of vocalist and main songwriter Charlie Pennachio, Ecuadorian guitarist Wyatt Pauley and conga player Joey Restivo. In 1990, the band had a hit with the gold single, "Sending All My Love", which was released on Atlantic Records and reached number 5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Two years later, they had another hit with the single "T.L.C.", which reached number 30. In 1990, they released their first album, followed in 1992 by their second. ==Background== Linear was formed in 1988 in Sunrise, Florida after Pennachio and Tolga Katas finished the recording of "Sending All My Love" and released it on their record label, Futura Records. Linear started out as Charlie Pennachio only, before Wyatt Pauley (bass), Phil Conneilly (guitar), Gerald "Pee Wee" Rappaport (drums) and Joe Restivo (bongos) were asked to join the band. Rappaport and Conneilly stepped down from the lineup in late 1989. Charlie Pennachio was an original member of freestyle artist Stevie B and Tolga Katas' Miami crew band. Pennachio's first CD was produced and written by himself and Katas, and released under their own label, Futura International Records. Listener reaction was overboard and the single entered the national pop charts in the US. Atlantic Records caught wind of the single and tracked Pennachio down, and soon signed him to a recording contract. "Sending All My Love" soared into the U.S. Top 5 and earned RIAA Platinum certification. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Linear (group)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
