A church-trained singer whose 1996 debut single "For You" became an R&B staple.
If you need a place to start, put on "For You." For something a bit later, try "Never Too Busy", it's all right there.
That 1996 single "For You" was a real moment, a slow, earnest ballad that cut through the noise and just stuck around. It set a tone for the kind of grown-up, patient love songs he'd keep making, like "Never Too Busy" and "Giving Up." He's one of those voices you hear and the room just settles down a little.
He came up singing in D.C. church choirs and studied music at Howard University. After his debut album landed in 1996, he kept putting out records like "Weekend" in 1999 and later formed the group Lattimore and Friends with singers like Jeffrey Osborne.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
