Creed (band)Creed was formed in 1995 as a rock, and alternative rock group. They broke up in June 2004. Many people consider Creed to be a Christian rock band, because their songs include many religious and spiritual implications. Frontman Scott Stapp disagrees with the label: "No, we are not a Christian band. A Christian band has an agenda to lead others to believe in their specific religious beliefs. We have no agenda!" [1] (http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-c/creed.htm) Their 1997 debut album My Own Prison was successful, and the title track was a major hit at rock radio. Their second album, Human Clay was released in 1999 and debuted on the Billboard 200 Album Chart at number one, based on the strength of its first single, "Higher". It wasn't until early 2000 that the single crossed over onto pop radio, and Creed became a household name. Its follow-up, "With Arms Wide Open," was similarly massive on rock radio and arguably even bigger on pop radio that summer. In the fall of 2001, "My Sacrifice," the first single off of Creed's latest album, Weathered was one of many inspirational songs to become huge in a post-9/11 America. In early 2002, "Bullets" was released as a single, along with a costly, special effects-laden video. The song and video were possibly Creed's least successful since achieving mainstream success. However, Creed rebounded quickly, with one of the summer's biggest hits, "One Last Breath". "Don't Stop Dancing" was a minor hit for Creed in late 2002/early 2003. On June 4, 2004, it was announced that Creed had broken up. Stapp will record a solo album, collaborating with popular Canadian group The Tea Party, while the other band members (including Brian Marshall) will form a new band, Alter Bridge, with Myles Kennedy.

Although Dinning never duplicated the success of "Teen Angel," he had three minor hit records in the ensuing few years and continued to perform in the music industry until his unexpected passing at the age of fifty-two from a heart attack in Jefferson City, Missouri. On June 4, 2004, it was announced that Creed had broken up. The sad lyrics told of the death of a teenage love that radio stations in the United Kingdom deemed too morbid to be aired but went to No.1 on the Billboard Charts in the United States. "Don't Stop Dancing" was a minor hit for Creed in late 2002/early 2003. His recording efforts met with limited success until 1960 when he recorded a 45rpm single called "Teen Angel" that was written by his sister Jean & her husband Red Surrey. However, Creed rebounded quickly, with one of the summer's biggest hits, "One Last Breath". Dinning pursued a career in country music and in 1957, Wesley Rose got him a record contract. The song and video were possibly Creed's least successful since achieving mainstream success. From a musical family, three of his sisters formed the Dinning Sisters singing group that had a "Top Ten" hit in the late 1940s. In early 2002, "Bullets" was released as a single, along with a costly, special effects-laden video. Dinning was born near Drury, Oklahoma but grew up on a farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee. In the fall of 2001, "My Sacrifice," the first single off of Creed's latest album, Weathered was one of many inspirational songs to become huge in a post-9/11 America. Mark Dinning ( August 17, 1933 - March 22, 1986 ) was an American singer. Its follow-up, "With Arms Wide Open," was similarly massive on rock radio and arguably even bigger on pop radio that summer.
