Born in Newport News, VA, and raised in Washington, DC, Joe Blunt began his professional singing career, at the age of 18, when he signed his first recording contract with DC’s Cap City Records as a member of R&B vocal group, “The Chancelors” (which also included Glenn Leonard). Joe was the lead singer on the group’s debut single, ”Sad Avenue.” Although the group eventually disbanded, Blunt and Leonard continued their quest for stardom with the formation of a popular local group called the “Instant Groove” and later launched yet another group, “True Reflection,” whose 1973 debut album on Atlantic Records, “Where I’m Coming From,” has become something of a collector’s item among soul music fans all over the world. The album utilized many of the musicians and arrangers who popularized “The Sound of Philadelphia,” which greatly influenced the Soul/R&B music of that era.

If you’ve ever heard Theo Peoples’ voice, it’s no secret why many regard him as one of the most ‘AUTHENTIC’ voices in the music industry and agree he has raised the bar high because of his soulful vocal style! For nearly two decades Theo Peoples’ voice has been critical to the legacy of not just one but two of Motown’s iconic groups – the ‘Temptations‘ AND ‘The Four Tops‘! With classics like “My Girl”, Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” and “Can’t Get Next To You” from the Temptations and “Baby, I Need Your Loving”, “Reach Out (I’ll Be There)” and “Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I Got) by the Four Tops to name a few, he has earned the singular honor of being the only man to be a member of both legendary groups, and his bonafide voice has been a ‘well received’ contribution in both cases!
