Reggie & Ladye Love Smith
You may not automatically know their names, but if you've seen a Gaither
homecoming video, heard a Larnelle Harris album, attended a Billy Graham
Crusade, listened to Disney's The Lion King Soundtrack, or seen the Grand Ole
Opry on television, you've heard the voices of Reggie and Ladye Love Smith.
Internationally known for their vocal proficiency, Reggie and Ladye Love
Smith have performed in over 12 countries, and in some of the most exclusive
places in the world including Super Bowl XXVI, the Kremlin in Moscow, and New
York's Carnegie Hall. The Smith's have complemented some of the top talents
in both country and gospel music including Dolly Parton, George Jones, Lee
Greenwood, Brenda Lee, Ricky Skaggs, Steven Curtis Chapman, Bob Carlisle, Ray
Boltz, Sandi Patty, Larnelle Harris and Vestal Goodman, just to name a few!
In May of 2000, they traveled to Belfast, Ireland and London, England to
perform in three sold-out shows and will be returning in May of 2001!
And while their singing talents open many doors for the couple, it is their
ability to relate to the personal needs of the people in the audiences that
give them a standing invitation at each place they minister. As a couple and
as individuals, Reggie and Ladye Love Smith offer people more that just mere
entertainment. Ladye holds a Master's Degree in Counseling and is frequently
involved in women's retreats and conferences (most recently with Gigi
Graham-Tchvidijian). Reggie, in addition to producing various album projects,
lends his Music Education background to conducting retreats and praise &
worship conferences, working with The Billy Graham School of Evangelism and
The Baptist Sunday School Board.
As incredible as these two are on their own, it is when they take the stage
together, appreciating each others strengths and weaknesses, loving,
laughing, and sharing the special bond created by their decade-long
friendship and five-year marriage, that the Reggie and Ladye Love truly
connect with people around the globe.
"We feel a definite call in our lives to stretch beyond where we've gone
before," says Reggie. "But if it all stops tomorrow, we've been blessed
abundantly more that we could have ever dreamed. Through all the ups and
downs, and successes and failures we've seen in life, God's faithfulness has
simply been overwhelming."
The new album "24 Hours A Day" features the title cut and their new single,
"Transformation." DJ's all across the United States have fell in love with
Reggie & Ladye. The couple looks forward to seeing you at a Gaither Concert
or in your church! Be looking for more from this talented duo!
