About Leo's Sunshipp

Don't let the extraterrestrial name fool you -- Leo's Sunshipp played funky soul music and would have been around much longer if tragedy hadn't struck. The band revolved around singers Kenny Stover, Johnny Simone, and Alvin Few; all were born under the astrological sign of Leo, thus the name. Stover is the brother of Elgie Stover, who contributed to some Marvin Gaye songs and "The Bells" by the Originals; the Stovers are cousins of Harvey Fuqua (Moonglows and later Motown's A&R director). Kenny is from Cleveland, OH, and grew up in the Hough area on 66th and Belvedere.
