Peabo Bryson is a legendary American vocalist known for his rich, operatic voice and lasting success across decades of changing musical trends. A two-time Academy Award and Grammy winner, he has released more than 20 albums and made history as the first artist to top four different music charts with separate records. Rising to prominence in the late 1970s with Capitol Records, Bryson scored major R&B and pop hits and became widely celebrated for romantic ballads and acclaimed duets with artists such as Natalie Cole and Roberta Flack. His mainstream crossover success peaked with iconic Disney duets: “Beauty and the Beast” with Céline Dion and “A Whole New World” with Regina Belle, both Billboard No. 1 hits and Oscar winners. Dubbed the “King of Balladeers” and the “Pavarotti of soul singers,” Bryson also earned multiple R&B chart-toppers, Grammy nominations, and critical acclaim. Beyond recording, he has performed on Broadway tours, collaborated widely, released holiday albums, and sold millions through live and compilation releases. Continuing his career well into the 21st century, Bryson released Stand For Love with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and remains active as a performer and recording artist. In 2025, he celebrates 50 years in Europe with an extensive international tour, underscoring his enduring influence and legacy in modern music.
