Exile – Saturday, Oct. 26, 2019 This year marks Exile’s 56th year as America’s longest running band. On Sept. 30, 1978, the award-win - ning band, which had initially set out to play small clubs in Richmond, Kentucky in 1963, skyrocketed to world- wide fame with their multi-week chart topper “Kiss You All Over.” It made Billboard’s Year End Hot 100 Singles of 1978 (Top 5) and later placed in Billboard’s The 50 Sexiest Songs of All Time (Top 10) category. In the early 1980s, Exile began to focus on country music. During their run on the country charts, they had 10 number one singles including “I Don’t Want To Be A Memory,” “Give Me One More Chance” and “She’s A Miracle.” The band wrote their own songs, played on all their recordings and also proved to be prolific songwrit - ers, composing hits for other artists such as Alabama, Restless Heart, Engelbert Humperdinck, Huey Lewis, and many more. During this country phase of their ca - reer, Exile received 11 nominations including Vocal Group of The Year and Best Instrumental Performance for the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards. This ultimate, cross-over band has sold more than eight million records worldwide, with three Gold albums. Website: www.exile.biz
