Peabo Bryson has established a career as one of the premiere soul crooners of the last quarter century. Possessing a beautifully rich, almost operatic voice, he has survived and prospered despite the passage of time, changes in popular musical trends, and occasional periods of mediocre material. Bryson has had an extensive 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 You're in My Arms Again." He moved to Columbia in 1991, issuing Can You Stop the Rain; subsequent efforts include 1994's Through the Fire and 1999's Unconditional Love. He also enjoyed more acclaim making duets with Belle.
