Tre-O

Tre-O was a female pop/R&B trio from the late 90s. Not much information is given about them, but they were signed to Epic Records.

In 1999, they released the single "Seventeen" which was featured on the soundtrack to the film "Music Of the Heart" which starred Meryl Streep, Gloria Estefan, Aidan Quinn & Angela Bassett.

It's unknown how or if the single was successful, but after that, it seemed as is Tre-O faded into obscurity. Nothing much has been heard from them since.

Gene Van Buren

Gene Van Buren was an R&B singer from the 80s. Not much information is given about him, but he was signed to Tamla Records.

In 1982, he released his only album "What's Your Pleasure" which didn't appear to make the charts at all nor did the title song which was released as a single. After the release of Gene's debut album, there were plans for a follow-up album entitled "Love Never Dies," but unfortunately, those plans never materialized.

Gene later went on to provide vocals for artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Gregory Hines, Ava Cherry, Luther Vandross, Bette Midler, Lisa Fischer and Donna Summer. These days, it's unknown what Gene is up to and it seems as if he has faded into obscurity.

Jimmy Salvemini

Jimmy Salvemini (born in Long Island, New York) is a R&B singer from the 80s who began performing when he was 8 years old.

In 1985, he became the "Junior Male Vocalist" champion on the popular talent television series "Star Search." After seeing Jimmy perform on "Star Search," late R&B singer Luther Vandross took an interest in him and began writing & producing his debut album.

On January 26, 1986, one day after completing work on Jimmy's soon-to-be debut album, Jimmy and his older brother Larry (who was also his manager) were passengers in Luther's car when Luther swerved it out of control & collided into two oncoming cars. While Jimmy and Luther recovered from their injuries, sadly Larry was unable to recover & succumbed from his injuries.

Luther later faced a civil suit from the Salvemini family, but it was eventually settled out of court. Later, Jimmy returned to his hometown and in the summer of that same year, Elektra Records quietly released his debut album "Roll It," but they decided not to pursue marketing on the album due to the circumstances that occurred.

After that, it appeared as if Jimmy faded into obscurity, but in 2008, he independently released his sophomore album "Self Expression." These days, it appears that Jimmy still continues to sing & perform.
