Editor's note

Tevin Campbell's smooth voice defined early '90s R&B.

A teenage singer from Texas who landed hits like 'Can We Talk' and 'I'm Ready'.

If you want to hear that earnest quality, start with 'Can We Talk' or 'I'm Ready.' They give him a clear place in early '90s R&B.

Quincy Jones heard him sing as a teenager and brought him into the studio. That led to 'Can We Talk,' a song that still turns up on R&B playlists and throwback stations. It captures a moment when a young singer's voice could carry a whole song.

His first album, 'T.E.V.I.N.,' came out in 1991 when he was 15. He released three more albums through the rest of the decade, including 'Back to the World' in 1996 and a self-titled record in 1999. Songs like 'Tell Me What You Want Me To Do' and 'Brown Eyed Girl' kept his sound on radio playlists for a while.

Archive material and source history

Tevin Campbell was a teenager from Waxahachie, Texas when Quincy Jones heard him sing and brought him into the studio. His first album, 'T.E.V.I.N.,' came out in 1991 and had the single 'Can We Talk,' which became a hit. He was 15 at the time.

That song, along with 'I'm Ready' from his second album, gave him a clear place in early '90s R&B. His voice had a smooth, earnest quality that worked for both upbeat tracks and slower ballads.

He released three more albums through the rest of the decade, including 'Back to the World' in 1996 and a self-titled record in 1999. Some of his other songs, like 'Tell Me What You Want Me To Do' and 'Brown Eyed Girl,' kept his sound on radio playlists for a while.

Campbell's early recordings, especially 'Can We Talk,' still turn up on R&B playlists and throwback stations. They capture a specific moment when a young singer's voice could carry a whole song.
