Biography:
Crack the Sky is a 1970s band from Steubenville, Ohio (later adopted by Baltimore area radio) which released several minor-hit albums. Their self-titled debut garnered the Album of the Year award from Rolling Stone magazine. Unfortunately, this band remained a regional phenomenon, especially in the Baltimore area.
Since dissolving around 1980, lead singer John Palumbo has continued releasing albums under the Crack the Sky moniker.
