Peabo Bryson \;has established a career as one of the premier male vocalists in contemporary music of the last quarter century. Possessing a beautifully rich\, almost operatic voice\, this two-time Grammy Award-winner has survived and prospered despite the passage of time and changes in popular musical trends.
\n\nWith twenty albums to his credit\, Peabo Bryson has enjoyed an unprecedented\, across-the-board level of international success\, Bryson has the distinction of being the first artist in music history to have separate records topping four different charts.
\n\nPeabo Bryson might be known most as a top-tier adult contemporary balladeer\, but when he scored his first Top 20 pop single in 1983 with the Roberta Flack collaboration &ldquo\;Tonight\, I Celebrate My Love\,&rdquo\; the soul-rooted tenor was firmly established with 24 entries on the R&\;B chart. Bryson continued to scale rare heights throughout the &rsquo\;80s and peaked the next decade.
\n
\nAt one point in February 1993\, he could be heard on recordings that were simultaneously number one on the pop and adult contemporary singles charts\, as well as on the contemporary jazz and classical crossover album charts. The Regina Belle duet &ldquo\;A Whole New World&rdquo\; was at the top of the first two\, while Kenny G&rsquo\;s Breathless and the studio cast recording of Rodgers &\; Hammerstein&rsquo\;s \;The King and I \;respectively topped the latter pair. That same month\, Bryson was handed his first Grammy for his and Celine Dion&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Beauty and the Beast\,&rdquo\; awarded Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The feat was repeated the following year when &ldquo\;A Whole New World&rdquo\; took the same category. \;
2018&rsquo\;s \;Stand For Love \;is an anticipated and epic return to popular music by one of the \;industries most gifted and cherished voices. &ldquo\;Peabo is just one of the greatest voices of our time\,&rdquo\; said Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in a joint statement. &ldquo\;He exudes a class and sophistication that&rsquo\;s so needed in music today. I know R&\;B needs Peabo Bryson especially now. And his fans both old and new will fall in love with &ldquo\;Stand For Love.&rdquo\;
