K: King Of Hearts
The super AOR duo unit of Tommy Funderburk, the voice of Airplay and Bruce Gaitsch, one of the first call studio guitarists / songwriters / producers known for his works with Richard Marx or Madonna.
The history of the unit should be back to 1989. The original King of Hearts was the super band featuring Kelly Keagy from Night Ranger and George Hawkins Jr. with Funderburk and Gaitsch. They recorded the basic tracks with David Cole engineering, producing and mixing. Although the record was finished, the album (originally intended to be released by Chrysalis Records) was shelved due to personal problem between the band and management.
Bruce and Tommy went on to re-record a lot of the record and some new songs and put it out as a duo in Japan and Europe and South Africa in 1994.
In 1996, the duo second effort was released as the album titled “Joy Will Come” in Japan and the alternate version with different tracks as “Midnight Crossing” in Germany.
In 1999, the original King of Hearts album was released as “1989” targeting to their core fans in Japan.
In 2019, their new studio album “King Of Hearts” are released.
