Editor's note

Usher's smooth R&B voice defined a pop era.

From church choir beginnings to chart-topping albums and Grammy-winning duets, his sound kept evolving.

For a sense of his range, check out 'Nice & Slow' from the 'My Way' era and 'First Dance' with Justin Bieber. They frame the shifts in his sound pretty clearly.

Usher's albums 'My Way,' '8701,' and 'Confessions' all hit number one, pulling pop and funk into his R&B base. Songs like 'Nice & Slow' and 'Bad Habits' became radio fixtures. His duet with Alicia Keys on 'If I Ain't Got You' won Grammys, and collaborations with Justin Bieber on tracks like 'First Dance' showed his reach across generations.

He started singing in church and local talent shows as a kid in Dallas. That early recognition led to a string of number one albums, from 'My Way' through 'Confessions,' and kept him in the conversation through various cycles up to 'A' in 2018.
