You may not automatically know their names, but if you've seen a Gaither homecoming video, attended a Billy Graham Crusade, listened to Disney's The Lion King Soundtrack, or seen the Grand Ole Opry on television, you've heard the voices of Reggie and Ladye Love Smith.

Internationally known for their vocal proficiency, the Smith's have performed in over 13 countries, and in some of the most exclusive places in the world including Super Bowl XXVI, the Kremlin in Moscow, and New York's Carnegie Hall. The Smith's have complemented some of the top talents in both country and gospel music including Dolly Parton, George Jones, Lee Greenwood, Brenda Lee, Patti LaBelle, Ricky Skaggs, Steven Curtis Chapman, Bob Carlisle, Ray Boltz, Sandi Patty, Larnelle Harris and Vestal Goodman, just to name a few.

While their singing talents open many doors for the couple, it is their ability to relate to the personal needs of the people in the seats that earn them a standing invitation at most places where they minister. As a couple and as individuals, the Smith's offer audiences much more than just mere entertainment. Ladye holds a Master's Degree in Counseling and is frequently involved in women's retreats and conferences (most recently with Gigi Graham). Reggie, in addition to producing various album projects, lends his Music Education background to conducting retreats and praise & worship conferences, working with The Billy Graham School of Evangelism and LifeWay Christian Resources, to name a few.

It is when they take the stage together, however, appreciating each other's strengths and weaknesses, and loving, laughing, and sharing the special bond created by their long friendship and fourteen-year marriage, that the Smith's truly connect with people around the globe.

"We feel a definite call in our lives to stretch beyond where we've gone before," says Reggie. "But if it all stops tomorrow, we've been blessed abundantly more that we could have ever dreamed. Through all the ups and downs, and successes and failures we've seen in life, God's faithfulness has simply been overwhelming."
