LIVING LEGENDS MUSIC, INC.
LONGWOOD, FLORIDA

ABOUT LIVING LEGENDS MUSIC This all started as the vision of founder Greg Rike, an Emmy-nominated musician, songwriter, music producer and director. In 1974 Greg threw away his building contractor's license and started what is now the oldest recording studio in central Florida, Greg Rike Productions (commonly called GRP). Through the past 44 years Greg and his company have worked with countless acts in numerous capacities from live audio/video/film, to pre-production, music videos and complete studio projects. The range is as wide as from Waylon Jennings to Commodores to the Backstreet Boy's to numerous Deep Purple studio albums. Other artists who are part of the GRP Studios legacy are Matchbox 20, Faith Evan, DJ Magic Mike, Brittany Spears, Mandy Moore, Lil' Wayne, 7 Mary 3, Steppinwolf, Foghat, Molly Hatchet, Patti Labelle, Little River Band, Starship, Yellow Jackets, Michael Franks, Les Dudek and BuzzCocks, to name just a few. Greg's company has worked on projects for major clients, such as Disney, Discovery Channel, ABC/Dick Clark, Siemens/Westinghouse, STP, Buick, BMG, Sony Entertainment Group and Warner Brothers. What does this have to do with Living Legends Music? Quite a lot!! Greg has turned all his creative energies, experience and facilities exclusively toward producing new original media - print, radio, television and live concerts - all containing legendary artists who are still writing, recording and touring. The goal of Living Legends Music is to be the definitive source for artists who find themselves in that black hole between "flavor of the week" and "classic" radio formats. Welcome to Living Legends Music! From operating a professional recording facility for the past 40+ years, I have seen a recurring theme. When we are working with a group or artist who has not been in commercial radio playlists the questions are always "Are they still together?", "Is he still playing and touring?", "Does she have a new CD and where can I get one??" The answer is YES!, YES!, YES! I have taken it upon myself to help reconnect the artists and their audience. My experience has shown that these legendary artists are still writing, recording and touring and they are a MUST listen. The fact that they have not acquired day jobs speaks for itself. Their craft of writing, performing and producing records has been well honed through time and experience. Living Legends Music celebrates the music and the artists dedicated to it. This organization exists to champion the efforts of all those dedicated to bringing enhancement to the planet through their music. It is my desire to have every artist from every genre of music represented here in a positive and honest light. Through access to new music, video clips, concert series, interviews and reviews the world will understand why we call them "Living Legends". We will be adding a new category to LLM. It has been brought to our attention that many artists are still out there touring and bringing enjoyment to their fans and have chosen not to record and release a new "album". Reasons are many including that the business is now almost "single" driven due to downloads and it's not cost effective to spend the time and money on a full-length album. It about delivering good music in it's purest form . . . live! After decades, our artists continue to write, record and tour. The business has changed but their passion has not. LLM champions all of those music "Legends"! WELCOME TO LIVING LEGENDS MUSIC! The LLM Mission The LLM Mission Our mission is quite simple . . . to do everything we can to reconnect the world with our "Legends". Just because there is no radio air play doesn't mean their creative muse has gone away . . . We'd love to hear from you. If there are features or improvements we can make let us know. We are in the process of expanding our social media footprint. If you would like to be involved at some level please let us know!! If you have a suggestion for a website feature that will enhance user experience please let us know. We also appreciate your comments regarding Living Legends Music. Please visit our social media pages and be a part of the growing LLM community! If you have ordered a DVD or tried to order and have had trouble please let us know. We are preparing for our new season of "Their Reality" to be aired on Amazon Prime. If you have a favorite artist or group you'd like to suggest, please contact us via the form below. These shows will require the artist or group have a new studio release within the past six years. If you manage an artist or group that meets the LLM guidelines (in the business for 18+ years and have a new studio release within the last six years) and would like us to include them in our database or do an interview and/or program featuring them, we’d love to hear from you. LLM has been privately funded to this point. With more help from partners willing to provide content, services and funding we see the brand growing into a major force in the entertainment industry. For more information or ideas to help us grow please contact us via the form below. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly support your favorite artists by buying concert tickets, recordings, videos and downloads. Just because you've heard their music for years doesn't necessarily mean they are getting rich . . . or even getting paid! It's a glory business to those looking in but a lot of work both physically and emotionally for those on stage!
