Morphine - Honey White
Morphine was an alternative rock group formed by Mark Sandman and Dana Colley in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, in 1989.Critically-acclaimed for their innovative music and unique instrumentation, Morphine combined blues and jazz elements with more traditional rock arrangements, giving the band a very unusual sound. Sandman's distinctive singing was described as a "deep, laid-back croon"[1], and his songwriting featured a prominent beatnik influence.
When asked by reporters to describe their music, Sandman labeled it "Low Rock". One critical appraisal suggests that "Morphine immediately established a minimalist, low-end sound that could have easily become a gimmick: a 'power trio' not built around the sound of an electric guitar. Instead, with sly intelligence, Morphine expanded its offbeat vocabulary on each album."

C&C Music Factory - Things That Make You Go Hmmmm
The stylish visuals and production for C+C Music Factory's first videos helped to distinguish the group's first releases from previous mainstream dance hits like Technotronic's "Pump Up The Jam". Controversy erupted when vocalist Zelma Davis appeared instead of vocalist Martha Wash in the video for the group's first single, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." Davis, the vocalist (aside from rapper Freedom Williams) on the next three singles, lip-synched to Wash's vocals in that video. Speculation about bad blood between Wash and the group were laid to rest when Wash and Davis both appeared in the video for 1994's Hot Dance Music/Club Play #1 single, "Do You Wanna Get Funky", on which they both share lead vocals.

Klaus Nomi - Lightning Strikes
A fictionalised version of Klaus Nomi appears in a two-part episode of animated comedy/adventure series The Venture Bros. In "Showdown at Cremation Creek (Part I)," he appears as one of David Bowie's bodyguard henchmen (alongside an animated Iggy Pop, another Bowie collaborator). "Klaus" attacks his opponents with ultra-high-pitched singing and the over-sized bowtie of his famous costume, spun and ejected as a battering weapon.

Other notable singles include "Here", "CitySong (NY State Of The World)", "Under Your Skin" and "Ladyfingers".Vivian Trimble left the group in 1998, and in 2000 (after releasing one album as a trio) the group officially announced the break up of Luscious Jackson.
Early 2007 will see the release of a Luscious Jackson "greatest hits" compilation, and in the Fall of 2006 the band announced that they have reunited and are to begin work on a new album.
