Peabo Bryson dies at 75
Peabo Bryson died at 75 after suffering a stroke; the two-time Grammy Award-winning R&B singer was best known for Disney duets like "A Whole New World" from Aladdin and "Beauty and the Beast." Bryson built a decades-long career with hits and partnerships including "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" with Roberta Flack and his charted duet performances with Regina Belle and Celine Dion. His smooth tenor helped bring R&B crossover appeal to mainstream pop and anchored two Oscar-winning Disney songs, making his voice a defining element of 1990s film music and adult contemporary radio.
RIP to Peabo Bryson. A fantastic R&B artist with a legendary voice.
