Lisa Stewart (born on August 6, 1968 in Louisville, Mississippi) is a country music singer from the early ’90s. She first began singing in church when she was six years old. Five years later, she attended a Tent Show at the Nashville Fan Fair where she gave her first country performance.
By 1987, Lisa had moved to Nashville, Tennesse where she won the Roy Acuff scholarship at Belmont University and found work as a studio singer. In 1991, while performing at a wedding reception, she was noticed by Mark Thompson (the bandleader for singer Wynonna Judd) who asked Lisa to sing demos with him.
After recording the demos, Lisa signed a record deal with BNA Records. In late 1992, she released her debut single, “Somebody’s in Love” which peaked at #61 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 7 weeks.
In January of 1993, she released her self-titled debut album, which didn’t make the album charts at all. Entertainment Weekly magazine gave the album a “C” minus rating, referring to it as the “Crystal Gayle brand of gooey ear music.”
However, Neil Pond of Country American magazine gave a favorable review, stating that the music recalled the Nashville sound of the 1960s and praised Lisa, calling her “one talented singer who knows how to reconcile the anchor of tradition with the tide of progress.”
The second single from the album, “Under the Light of the Texaco” didn’t chart, but the next single, “Drive Time” peaked at #72 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart (staying on the chart for three weeks).
In addition to promoting her debut album on radio tours, Lisa hosted the nationally syndicated entertainment news show, “#1 Country” and made appearances on The Nashville Network, hosting the programs “Yesteryear” & “This Week in Country Music.” She was also a featured performer on “Music City Tonight.”
In later years, Lisa toured with Kenny Rogers & the Statler Brothers, attended the Country Music Festival in Geneva, Switzerland twice & did a USO tour to Hungary & Bosnia in 1996. She was also featured on the movie soundtrack to the film “Jericho” (in which she also appeared in) and appeared in the music video for Billy Gilman’s song, “Oklahoma.”
In 2002, Lisa married singer Brady Seals and they had a son born in September of 2008; the couple would later divorce in 2018.
In 2008, she wrote BMI’s Gospel Song of The Year with the song “Sky Full of Angels” which was made popular by Reba McEntire. She also continued with her acting career, starring on the CW Network series, “The Vampire Diaries” and in films such as “Country Strong” & “Novitiate.”
According to research, Lisa resides in Franklin, Tennessee where she has her own clothing line called Zyza Active & appears to also do voiceover work as well.

Doug Supernaw (born Doug Anderson Supernaw on September 26, 1960 in Bryan, Texas) is a country music singer from the ’90s.
Doug grew up in Inwood Forest where his mother (who was a fan of country music) exposed him to artists such as George Jones and Gene Watson, who become his musical influences. He was also an avid golfer & member of his high school golf team. Doug attended college on a golfing scholarship, but dropped out in 1979 where he briefly worked on an oil rig before serving as a musician in local bands.
In 1987, he moved to Nashville, Tennesee where he worked as a session songwriter. After four years, Doug returned to Texas where he founded a band called Texas Steel. In the ’90s, an A&R executive for RCA Records discovered him and signed him to the label’s BNA Records division in 1993.
In February of 1993, Doug released his debut single, “Honky Tonkin’ Fool” which peaked at #50 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 13 weeks.
In April of that same year, he released his debut album, “Red and Rio Grande” which peaked at #147 on the Billboard 200, #27 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart & #3 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart. It was later certified Gold.
The follow-up single from the album, “Reno” peaked at #4 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks; however, the song caused some local controversy in Reno, Nevada due to its portrayal of the city and one country music station refused to play it due to complaints from listeners.
Doug’s third single, “I Don’t Call Him Daddy” (which was originally sung by Kenny Rogers in 1987) became a hit, topping Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for two weeks in December of 1993, staying on the chart for 20 weeks.
The last single, “Red and Rio Grande” peaked at #23 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks.
After the release of Doug’s debut album, a series of injuries nearly ended his career. After recovering from a broken neck that he sustained while surfing, Doug was involved in a head-on car collision and later hospitalized for a near-fatal case of food poisoning.
Once he was recovered from the food poisoning, Doug began working on his sophomore album, “Deep Thoughts From a Shallow Mind” which was released in September of 1994. The album peaked at #48 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #19 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart.
The first two singles, “State Fair” (which peaked at #55) & “You Never Even Called Me By My Name” (which peaked at #60) were moderately successful on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
The last single released from the album, “What You’ll Do About Me” (which was originally sung by Steve Earle in 1984) peaked at #16 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks.
An alternate version of the song was later released (replacing the line: “I’m on the porch with a two-by-two” to “I’m on the porch with a dinner for two“) due to concerns that the lyrics were overly favorable to the concept of a stalker in the wake of the O.J. Simpson trials at the time.
However, despite the alternate version, “What You’ll Do About Me” was still met with negative feedback from radio programmers, falling from the charts. A radio station in Terre Haute, Indiana withdrew the song from rotation after a woman in the city was murdered by a stalker. Doug wanted to ask his record label to release another single from the album, but due to the controversy, BNA Records decided to drop him from the label instead.
In 1995, Doug signed a record deal with Giant Records, releasing his third album, “You Still Got Me” in October of that same year. The album peaked at #19 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart and #42 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
The first single, “Not Enough Hours in the Night” peaked at #3 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 21 weeks.
The follow-up singles, “She Never Looks Back” (which peaked at #51) & “You Still Got Me” (which peaked at #53) were moderately successfully on the country music charts. After that, Doug left Giant Records.
In 1997, he appeared on The Beach Boys’ compliation album, “Stars and Stripes Vol. 1” with the track, “Long Tall Texan” which peaked at #69 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for a week. During that same year, Doug’s first compliation album, “The Encore Collection” was issued by Sony BMG Special Products.
In August of 1999, Doug released his third album, “Fadin Renegade” which flopped on the charts along with the singles released from the album: the title track & “21-17” (although the music video received some popularity on the CMT & GAC television networks).
After that, not much was heard from Doug until 2016 when he returned to performing in local venues in Texas. A year later, he returned to the recording studio and released his second greatest-hits compliation album which included two new tracks: “Here’s My Heart” and “The Company I Keep.”
In February of 2019, Doug announced that he had been diagnosed with stage IV lung and bladder cancer. According to his official website, the tumors in his lungs have shrunk, but he is still continuing his medical treatments.

Front Page was an R&B trio from the ’90s that consisted of Gregory Ringo, Michael Turner and Octarve Anderson, Jr. Not much information is given about them, but they were signed to MCA Records.
In 1994, the group released their debut and only self-titled album; it’s unknown how or if the album made any impact on the charts at all.
The lead single, “Come To Poppa” didn’t make the R&B charts, but a music video was made for the song. The follow-up single, “Something U Can Appreciate” also failed to make any impact on the charts as well.
After that, it seemed as if Front Page has faded into obscurity, but according to research, Octarve Anderson, Jr. continues to be active in the music business.
In 2000, Octarve created an independent record label called Yeah! Brother Records based in Atlanta, Georgia where he has worked with various artists, producers and songwriters over the years. He and his business partner, entertainment attorney Kemic Alan Smothers JD started an independent entertainment company called OAKSway Entertainment.
As for Gregory Ringo & Michael Turner, it’s unknown what they are currently up to these days.
