Brian McKnight
Embracing an effortless eloquence and cocoa butter smooth persona, the music of
Brian McKnight has defined the
true meaning of American soul man since 1991. Like his spiritual Motown godfathers,
this upstate New York native has a velvety voice and silky style that captures
the vibe of vintage soul without being old fashion. On his latest disc Ten, that
blend can be clearly heard.
“It’s always been my goal to try and bring back real R&B music,”
Brian says. “When I was growing-up
it was all about the seventies soul men. From the first time I ever stepped into
a studio, my daydream was to pick-up where Marvin Gaye left off.” While
Brian’s aspirations might
have seemed like a lofty ambition, the longevity of his career is a testament
to the purity of his vision.
