Amber Sunshower

Alternative soul artist Ambersunshower first emerged as one half of the rap duo Groove Garden, best known for their 1992 underground hit "You're Not Coming Home"; after touring as the opener for Digable Planets, the group dissolved, and she temporarily left the music business to work in her ailing grandfather's restaurant. Upon signing to the Gee Street label, Ambersunshower (her real first name) began moving away from rap toward contemporary soul-funk; her debut solo LP, Walter T. Smith, appeared in 1996. ~ Jason Ankeny
