Firefall

The band's releases were on Atlantic Records during their career and "You are the Woman" was featured as a notable track on the record label's twin compact-disc 40-year history retrospective that was released in 1988. In a 2000 episode of SNL, Ana Gasteyr in character as Martha Stewart proclaimed that she was cutting her ties as spokesperson for K-Mart because the chain had refused to stock the latest album by her "homie" Ghostface Killah. Other hits also include "Strange Way" from 1978 and "Staying with It" from 1981, which had a female vocalist Lisa Nemzo. Though Ghostface has had little mainstream success musically, he has managed to make something of an impression on mainstream pop culture, similarly to his groupmates ODB and Method Man. The band's biggest hit single "You Are the Woman" peaked at #9 on the Billboard charts. He also appeared on the track "On My Knees" by UK R&B group The 411 which became a hit in the UK and Australia, and released an album titled 718 with a group of his proteges, calling themselves The Theodore Unit. The album track from 1977's Luna Sea, "Cinderella", is a narrative about a man dealing with the torn feelings regarding his girlfriend's unexpected pregnancy and the negative consequences on the relationship and is one of the most controversial tracks released in the rock era. In April of 2004, The Pretty Toney Album was released on Def Jam; it featured collaborations with Missy Elliott and Jadakiss and was Ghostface's first album to be credited to "Ghostface" rather than "Ghostface Killah".

Firefall was a mainstay, album-oriented rock band that put out a large number of hits such as "You Are the Woman" and "Just Remember I Love You" in the late 1970's. He had another minor club hit with "Flowers" which featured guest vocals from fellow Wu-Tang members Method Man and Raekwon. Mike Clarke was the drummer of The Byrds in its heyday and tragically died of liver failure on December 19, 1993 at the age of 47. Ghostface wasted little time in recording his next album, the heavily R&B-influenced Bulletproof Wallets which was released a year after Supreme Clientele. The band consisted of Rick Roberts on vocals, Larry Burnett and Jack Bartley on guitars, legendary Spirit, Jo Jo Gunne, and future Heart bassist Mark Andes, Mike Clarke on drums, and keyboardist David Muse, who joined the band in 1977. "Cherchez La Ghost", a single off the album, became a minor club hit, and the sentimental "Child's Play" brought Ghostface numerous comparisons with Slick Rick.
Firefall was a band that formed in Boulder, Colorado in the mid-1970's. His follow-up to Ironman was Supreme Clientele in 2000 (see 2000 in music), which was critically acclaimed by both mainstream critics and hip hop enthusiasts.

Ghostface became well-known for both his uptempo, seemingly indecipherable stream-of-consciousness raps and, later in his career, for his very emotionally charged delivery (first seen on the Wu-Tang Clan track "Impossible"). After the article has been cleaned up, you may remove this message. His first solo LP was Iron Man in 1996 (see 1996 in music), which was successful in hip hop circles and debuted at #2 on the pop charts.

As a solo artist, he first appeared on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (with clan-mate Raekwon, 1995, see 1995 in music), then on the soundtracks to Sunset Park and Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood. He also goes by the alias of Tony Starks, the real identity of super hero Iron Man.

After the Wu-Tang achieved breakthrough commercial success in the early 1990s, Ghostface Killah, like most of his clan-mates, began a solo career. Ghostface Killah aka (born Dennis Coles) is an American rapper and member of the Wu-Tang Clan.
