The Glass House (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Glass House was an American R&B/soul group from Detroit, Michigan, United States.

The Glass House was an assembly of house musicians put together by Holland-Dozier-Holland for their Invictus Records label in 1969.[1] The group was led by Ty Hunter and included Scherrie Payne, sister of soul singer Freda Payne.[2] The group released two albums and had a string of chart hits through 1972, peaking with 1969's "Crumbs Off The Table", but once their popularity had dried up, Invictus dissolved the group.[2]

Shortly thereafter, Ty Hunter and Scherrie Payne joined the Motown roster. Ty joined the singing group The Originals. Scherrie Payne joined The Supremes.[2]
