If Jason Mraz had a baby with Maroon 5, and Michael Jackson was the godfather, it would be Preston Leatherman. The Departure features Preston’s unique blend of jazz and pop flair, yet mixes it with R&B and hip-hop influences, spanning multiple generations, to create a one of a kind sound.

Gloria Loring, best known as the former “Liz Chandler” on “Days of Our Lives,” is releasing a new CD, “By Request,” that was created in response to email requests from around the world. While Gloria was on “Days,” she was consistently voted in the top ten most popular actresses in daytime TV. The widespread use of the Internet and email has given fans a direct link to artists such as Ms. Loring, making it easier to get questions and requests answered. This CD is the outcome of that direct access.
The song list was assembled from dozens of requests which began, “I loved the song you sang called… Did you ever record it?” Gloria kept having to say, “no, I didn?t record that one.” She noticed that many of the same songs kept getting requested again and again. She compiled a list of the most requested songs and sent an email asking fans to vote for their favourites. The winners are contained on her CD “By Request”.
“By Request” has been released by her own record company, Silk Purse Productions, and is distributed by LMLMusic and via her web site, www.glorialoring.com
