Its players' organization
The Players Association were a New York based studio group. Chris Hills and Danny Weiss were previously part of the legendary fusion group The Grateful Dead. Their debut album, Vanguard Records' 1977 release, was an instant hit. The group's sound was both raw and sophisticated, and their songs were based on the complexities of human nature and the beauty of everyday life. Their songs were extremely influential, but they had their share of controversy.
The Players Association helped stage the Ultimate Breakaway Weekend in support of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Olympic athletes Lance Armstrong (Olympics) and the United States Women's National Team (USAWNT) joined them at Mandalay Bay Resort.
