Dawn Crosby (born 5 April 1963 in Oxon Hill, Maryland; 15 December 1996 in Los Angeles, California) was the lead singer of the underground act Detente.
Following her exit from Detente, Dawn Crosby together with producer Ross Robinson went on to form Fear of God, which was signed to Warner Bros. Records.
The band went on to record the Within the Veil album in 1991. The band was slotted to become a major band in the growing alternative music scene, even though the music was dark and dungeon-inspired. The video released from this album was "Betrayed". Following the release of this album Crosby and the band split, and she reformed the band with new members and released a heavy Pantera-esque album called Toxic Voodoo.
Crosby died of liver failure from substance abuse on 15 December 1996.
Famous quotes containing the words dawn and/or crosby:
“To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself! How many mornings, summer and winter, before yet any neighbor was stirring about his business, have I been about mine! No doubt, many of my townsmen have met me returning from this enterprise, farmers starting for Boston in the twilight, or woodchoppers going to their work. It is true, I never assisted the sun materially in his rising, but, doubt not, it was of the last importance only to be present at it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
