  • The Lighthouse Family was a British musical duo that rose to prominence in the mid-1990s and remained active until the early 2000s. Vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboard player Paul Tucker formed the act in 1993 in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK after meeting while studying at university. Their 1995 debut album Ocean Drive sold more than 1.6 million copies in the UK alone and established them as a popular easy listening duo throughout Europe. They did reach number one on the UK Singles Chart and Australian Singles Chart with the song "High". Lighthouse Family scaled down in early 2003 because of what they called a "heavy promotional schedule" following the release of Whatever Gets You Through the Day in 2002. This led to both men pursuing individual projects. Baiyewu is now a solo artist,while Tucker joined a rock band, The Orange Lights. According to their management, the band has not split up despite being inactive: "there is always the possibility of another Lighthouse Family album one day."
  • Lighthouse Family war ein britisches Northern-Soul-Duo von Mitte der 1990er- bis in die frühen 2000er-Jahre. Der in Großbritannien geborene nigerianische Sänger Tunde Baiyewu und der Londoner Keyboardmusiker Paul Tucker gründeten die Band 1993 in Newcastle upon Tyne nach einem College-Besuch. Durch den guten Verkauf des Debütalbums Ocean Drive aus dem Jahr 1995 wurde die Band zu populären Vertretern des Easy Listening in ganz Europa. Nach der Auflösung startete Baiyewu eine Solokarriere.
  • Lighthouse Family es un dúo musical británico de rhythm & blues que tuvo su mayor apogeo a mediados de los años 1990 y que permaneció activo hasta la entrada a los años 2000. El grupo lo formaron en 1993 en Newcastle upon Tyne el vocalista Tunde Baiyewu y el pianista Paul Tucker, tras conocerse en la universidad. Su álbum de debut, Ocean Drive, de 1995, vendió más de 1,6 millones de copias solamente en el Reino Unido y les estableció como un popular dúo de easy listening en toda Europa. Aunque ninguno de sus sencillos alcanzó el número uno de la lista de éxitos del Reino Unido, llegaron a alcanzarlo en las listas musicales de Australia con la canción High. Lighthouse Family redujo su actividad debido a, como ellos mismos afirman, "una agenda de promoción muy cargada" tras la salida al mercado de Whatever Gets You Through the Day en 2002. Esto llevó al dúo a ir por caminos diferentes. Baiyewu es en la actualidad un solista, mientras que Tucker se unió al grupo de rock The Orange Lights. Según sus agentes, la banda no se ha separado a pesar de estar inactivos: "Siempre cabe la posibilidad de que algún día se produzca otro álbum de Lighthouse Family."

Lighthouse Family ging begin 2003 uit elkaar "wegens het drukke promotieschema en het ongelooflijke succes van 'Whatever Gets You Through The Day'". Paul en Tunde besloten zich hierna ieder op hun eigen projecten toe te leggen. Tunde begon een solocarrière; hij bracht aan het einde van 2004 zijn debuutalbum Tunde uit.

  • Lighthouse Family 1990'lı yılların ortasından 2000'li yılların başına kadar eserler sunan İngiliz müzik grubu. Vokalist Tunde Baiyewu ve klavyeci Paul Tucker üniversitede tanıştıktan sonra grubu 1993'te kurdular. 1995 yılında ilk kez göze batmalarını sağlayan Ocean Drive albümü Birleşik Krallık'ta 1.6 milyon adetten daha fazla satılarak grubun Avrupa çapında bilinirliğini arttırdı. Grup en son 2002 yılında Whatever Gets You Through The Day adlı albüme imza attıktan sonra, 2003'ün ilk aylarında "ağır tanıtım takvimleri" nedeniyle dağıldılar. Bu, her iki müzisyenin de kendi başlarına çalışmalar yapmalarını tetikledi. Baiyewu 2004 yılında Tunde albümünü piyasaya sundu.
