I know his name is Ricky Minor, but don't know much about him other than that.

Ricky Minor is the band leader. Unless you are a "lead vocalist", what band ever does get recognition?

Lightbulb Ricky Minor..

For 15 years or more he was the Bassist and MD for Whitney Houston. Was on all the TV broadcasts either playing or conducting. He has done many many gigs on Bass and has produced many famous names but at this writing my mind is going blank. I will fill it in when I remember a little more.
