Information on Smokie Norful |
Chicago's very own Smokie Norful has been one of popular music's great success stories of 2002-not to mention 2003 and 2004! And the tidal wave of critical and popular acclaim he has generated with his gold-selling debut album, "I Need You Now", and its title song-which has become an almost instant classic-for-the-ages-continues unabated, even as EMI Gospel Music proudly announces the release of Smokie's highly anticipated new release, "nothing without You". Smokie performed for us in our 190 North studios.
