Natalie Imbruglia

She married her long-time boyfriend Daniel Johns, lead singer of Silverchair, on December 31, 2003. The 1990s saw a string of barely noticed releases, and Kansas has continued to tour year after year, but the band has never been able to regain any mass popularity or critical notice. Imbruglia returned to acting in 2002 with a supporting role in British spy spoof Johnny English, playing alongside Rowan Atkinson. In spite of a successful 1982 album called Vinyl Confessions, the group split in 1983, only to reform in 1986 with the album Power. In a 1999 cooperation with singer Tom Jones, she appeared on a track of his album Reload. Hope and Livgren became born-again Christians and Walsh formed a new band, replaced by John Elefante. The follow up came in 2001 with the album White Lilies Island. After a few more albums, Kansas began to fall apart in the early 1980s.

Her first single, "Torn" (1997), reached number 2 in the British charts, and her album Left of the Middle became a million seller. By the time the band's fourth album, Leftoverture (1976) was released, Kansas was popular enough for the album to be a smash hit and a constant presence on the burgeoning AOR radio format, as was the followup Point of Know Return (1977). Like Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue, she also played a role in the soap Neighbours before venturing into a singing career. Relentless promotion by Kirshner and touring behind the debut album and its two followups slowly brought Kansas' name to households across America. The second of the four daughters of an Italian father and an Australian mother, Natalie grew up on the Central Coast, north of Sydney. A somewhat successful debut album, Kansas, was released in 1974, and showcased Kansas' signature mix of guitars, keyboards, vocals, and Steinhardt's ever-present violin submerging American-style boogie-rock in complex arrangements and changing time signatures. Natalie Jane Imbruglia (born February 4, 1975) is an Australian singer and actress. Upon the arrival of Kerry Livgren (keyboards, guitar) the band's name was changed to Kansas and the group soon won a record deal with Don Kirshner's eponymous label.

"Cold Air" on Y Tu Mama Tambien (And Your Mother Too) O.S.T. (2001). Dave Hope (bass), Phil Ehart (drums), Robby Steinhardt (violin), Steve Walsh (keyboards, vocals) and Rich Williams (guitar) had formed a group called White Clover in their hometown of Topeka, Kansas. "Identify" on Stigmata O.S.T (1999). In spite of a harsh critical reception then and now, Kansas has remained a classic rock radio staple. "Never Tear Us Apart" with Tom Jones on Reload (1999).
