So sorry to hear. He was such a great talent.
Another one of our legends taken by that god awful C-word! RIH James and thank you!
Just got this awful news. Do we definitively know that it was cancer? All the coverage I've seen has not confirmed that.Quote:

Yep, just got confirmation. Thanks. Cancer freakin’ sucks.Quote:

He's not known for many jams but this is one of my favorites. This song sounds great when I turn it up.

That cancer DOES suck!!!!! RIP Mr. Ingram. Is he at all related to Luther Ingram [[If Loving You Is Wrong)? Luther passed in 2007.
The summer after this one came out I use to roll the windows down on my car and blasted going down the highway.....

No. James was from Akron, Ohio and his brother Phillip Ingram was an original member of Switch.Quote:

Admittedly by the mid-eighties I was paying less attention, but for me, James Ingram was perhaps the last male vocalist whose voice had a tone and delivery style that drew me in. Sort of a Teddy Pendergrass meets Luther Vandross quality.
Quincy Jones and Gladys Knight each paid tribute reported Variety:
Love this song's message and the way James' delivers it.Quote:
"Another dear friend has made his transition,” Gladys Knight said in a statement.
"James Ingram, a voice to be recognized and revered, a wonderful human being full of joy. Truly deep, heartfelt condolences to his wife and his family. He will be missed and may he now rest peacefully.” Gladys Knight

RIP James Ingram

James and Anita Baker : When You Love Someone
Technically he was one of the finest male vocalists i have ever heard. This guy should have been a superstar. He had a fair few hits, but for some reason he remained underrated and underappreciated. I couldn't believe it when he was dropped by his record company in the 90's. We were deprived of 20 years of great singing. I am greatly saddened by his untimely passing. May he r.i.p.
I remember how cool I thought he looked on the Yah mo be there video😁. Hmm, maybe not now. How many Quincy Jones classics did he show up on backing vocals? You'd spot him every time. Mystery of love - Donna Summer. Do you love me - Patti Austin. Terrible news RIP sir
James' part, although brief on "We Are the World" is most memorable:
