Artist History Lonnie Hill scored a #1 hit in Europe in 1986 with "Galveston Bay". The song was number one for 6 weeks and stayed in the top 10 for 37 weeks! He followed up that success with other hit singles that include "Could it be love", "Hard Times" and "You Got me Running". Lonnie spent extensive time in Europe before taking some time off from the music scene to once again get back to the basics of just making good music. Now with the addition of his talented son and the rest of the Hill's Hideaway crew, Lonnie is looking to once again take center stage.
