L’artista

With almost twenty albums to his credit, Peabo Bryson s career has gone from strength to strength particularly during the 90 s. Enjoying an unprecedented, across-the-board level of international success, Peabo has the distinction of being the first artist in music history to have separate records topping four different charts. But acclaim and recognition are nothing new for this multi-talented singer, songwriter and producer, born in Greenville, South Carolina. Exposed to music at an early age, Peabo began singing with local bands during his teen years, performing on the famed chitlin circuit and gaining the kind of experience that would help prepare him for a solid career as a recording artist and entertainer. In 1975, Peabo signed with Atlanta-based Bang Records and enjoyed some initial success on the R&B charts with tunes like I CAN MAKE IT BETTER and UNDEGROUND MUSIC. However, it was after switching to Capitol Records in 1977 that Peabo gained national attention thanks to Top 10 R&B hits like I M SO INTO YOU and REACHING FOR THE SKY, the title track for his Capitol debut gold album which also included the classic FEEL THE FIRE. The album Paradise was one of two he issued in 1980 and Peabo was so hot at the time that it did get widespread airplay all over the US. Paradise reached no. 13 possition in the R&B Charts and nr. 79 in the Billboard Album Hot 200.
