Greg London's Giving His Pop Career 'Everything I Own'!

LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Luck Media & Marketing) - It's chilly these days up Northern Nevada, where 'Greg London's Icons' was extended at Harrah's Reno through August 2010 by popular demand, but the master musical impressionist (www.gregorylondon.com) is keeping warm in the glow of his budding success as a pop star.

London's heartfelt, emotionally compelling cover of 'Everything I Own,' the David Gates song that was originally a hit for the soft rock group Bread in 1972, is going for adds at AC radio on February 6.

The multi-talented singer, songwriter and performer set the stage for his breakthrough as a pop artist during the 2008 holiday season, when his intimate rendition of the classic 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' was the No 2 most added track on FMQB's AC40 Chart and Radio & Records' (R&R) AC Chart during the same week.

London is in some exciting company alongside other classic artists who have recorded 'Everything I Own': Olivia Newton-John, Georgie Fame, Boy George, 'N Sync, Jude, Rod Stewart and Chrissie Hynde, among others. Although the song is frequently interpreted as a romantic love song, Gates actually wrote the song as a tribute to his father after his father died.

Along those lines, when London was in the studio recording the track with producer Eric Colvin-a veteran film composer-his performance was inspired by the memory of a friend of his who passed away at a young age.

'Everything I Own' also features background vocals and guitar contributions by ICONS Musical Director David Zeman of The Rembrandts/Gin Blossoms, who also mixed the track.

'Greg London's Icons' is now one of the longest running shows ever in Sammy's Showroom at Harrah's Reno. Over the years, those who have graced the stage in the historical venue include Aretha Franklin, Patti Page, Rosemary Clooney, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, Andy Williams, Dionne Warwick and Bill Maher.

Considering his emergence as a pop singer after years of success with his stage show 'coming full circle,' a very excited London is looking forward this year to a series of tour dates on his own in between his stints with 'Icons.'
