Peabo Bryson
By All Music Guide
Vocalist Peabo Bryson was among the premier silky-voiced soul artists who emerged as the softer, more sophisticated urban contemporary sound became dominant in the 70s and 80s. Bryson, who was born in Greenville, SC, sang with Al Freeman & the Upsetters in 1965, and was in the group Moses Dillard & the Tex-Town Display from 1968 to 1973. He was a producer and composer for Atlantas Bang Records in the early 70s, and sang in Michael Zagers Moon Band. His self-titled, debut LP and several singles were recorded for Bangs subsidiary company Bullet, among them Do It With Feeling, Underground Music, Its Just a Matter of Time, Just Another Day, and I Can Make It Better. All were moderate R&B hits. Bryson moved to Capitol in 1978, where his first album, Reaching for the Sky, went gold, and the title track was a number six R&B hit. He remained in the Moon Band until 1979, departing after Im So Into You spent two weeks as the nations number-two R&B hit in 1978.

Bryson continued a prolific career as both lead act and duet participant. He made hit duets with Natalie Cole, Roberta Flack, Melissa Manchester, and Regina Belle. Bryson recorded for Capitol until 1984, when he switched to Elektra, and enjoyed more success with If Ever Youre in My Arms Again. He moved to Columbia in 1991, issuing Can You Stop the Rain; subsequent efforts include 1994s Through the Fire and 1999s Unconditional Love. He also enjoyed more acclaim making duets with Belle.
