James Ingram was a Grammy-winning R&B and soul singer, songwriter, and producer whose smooth, velvety voice captivated audiences throughout the '80s and '90s. Born in Akron, Ohio, Ingram's career took off when he provided vocals for Quincy Jones' album The Dude (1981), earning him two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. His rich, emotive delivery on hits like "Just Once" and "One Hundred Ways" showcased his ability to blend soulful passion with refined elegance.
Ingram's solo career flourished with chart-topping ballads and duets that became classics. His 1983 duet with Patti Austin, "Baby, Come to Me," reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while his collaboration with Linda Ronstadt, "Somewhere Out There," became an anthem of hope and longing. Ingram's mastery of romantic ballads was further highlighted in his hit "I Don't Have the Heart," a soulful confession that topped the charts in 1990.
Beyond his own recordings, Ingram was a prolific songwriter, co-writing Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" and contributing to hits for other artists. Known for his warmth, sincerity, and vocal finesse, James Ingram's timeless music continues to resonate, leaving a lasting legacy of love and soul.
