Henry Gross

Henry Gross is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He was born on April 1, 1951, in Brooklyn, New York. Gross began his music career in the late 1960s as a member of the 1950's Rock & Roll revival group, Sha Na Na. At 18 years old, Gross was the youngest musician to perform at Woodstock. He left the group in 1970 to pursue a solo career.

Gross released his first solo album, "Henry Gross," in 1972, which included the hit song "Shannon." The song was inspired by the death of Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson's dog, Shannon. It reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA.

Gross continued to release albums throughout the 1970s, including "Plug Me Into Something" (1975) and "Release" (1976). He also toured extensively during this time, opening for acts such as Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles.

In the 1980s, Gross shifted his focus to country music and released several albums in that genre, including "Show Me to the Stage" (1983) and "Nothing But Dreams" (1986).

Gross has continued to perform and record music over the years, and he remains a respected and influential figure in the music industry.
