Mark Greene (music) is the original lead singer of The Moments, one
of the most important Soul groups of all time, and was the lead artist for the
Stang record label. This versatile
performing and recording artist continues to demonstrate exceptional creative
dynamism. Mark Greene’s musical accomplishments are ever-changing as shown by
his mastery of the "under the streetlight" three and four part
harmonizing of the late '60's, the full orchestral rhythm and blues sound of
the '70s, and the sweet soul sound of the '90s ballads. A prolific artist and true visionary in the
music world, Mark Greene now ushers us further into the 21st Century by
changing the direction of Jazz music with his newest release of "Days of Wine and Roses" recorded
by “The Mark Greene Project” with FAJR™ Records.
