Neal
Sharpe was born in Chicago, Illinois, and began singing publicly
at the age of six and continued through his teens with various groups
in and around Chicago. Neal realized his life long dream was to
be an entertainer.
Upon
graduation from high school, Neal spends six years in the United
States Army, including a tour in Viet Nam. After he fulfilled his
military obligation, the spark of singing rekindled into a flame
within Neal and the singing group "The Brothers' 7" was
born. |

The
Brothers' 7 opened for renowned artists such as The Whispers,
The Chi-Lites, Al Green, Beau Williams and War. Neal also opened
as a solo act for Little Anthony and the Imperials, O.C. Smith,
Phillis Diller, Little Joe, Billy Eckstine and The Drifters. Neal's
solo act with The Drifters expanded into a tour and nearly overnight
became one of The Drifters himself.
Neal
toured with The Drifters from 1975 till 1977, singing 2nd tenor
with the group and did lead on a number of tunes. Then, in 1980,
Neal decided to start his own production company that released
one album and three singles, one of which was received very well
in London, England.

Since
then Neal has steadily pursued his passion, having opened for Roger
& Zapp, Shirley Murdock, The Texas Tornadoes and countless others.
During the 90's Neal also toured with the Grammy winner Little Joe
Hernandez. In
1999 Neal toured with Archie Bell, as one of the Drells. Neal is
still out there pursuing his dream...making people smile with his
music, stage presence and personality.
Neal is presently working on his 3rd CD with hit producer Phil Redmon.
