Gerald(Gerry) Glenn Fleming - Born November 19, 1948, near Atlanta, GA. Gerry began his musical journey at the age of 6, singing as a duet with his brother, Horace Fleming, on a TV show called "Carolina Promenade Party" (the east coast version of the "Louisiana Hayride"). Gerald and his brother continued this duet for three more years, becoming very popular in the Georgia-Carolina region.

Later, his brother, Horace, went on to form a band called "Rhythm Rockers", in which Gerry played the trumpet. This was his first professional gig, becoming part of a popular country/rock'n roll crossover band.
