Charlie Pennachio was born in Queens, NY and started his music career by launching his own record label Futura International Records at age 19. He is best known for the 1989 single "Sending All My Love" which became a regional hit for Linear, leading to a deal with Atlantic Records for the band. Atlantic reissued the song in 1990 and it became a global success with Gold record sales itself and multi-platinum sales for the album it came from.
