重点是最後一段的最後一段 Wow! Keith Washington brings passion, honesty and sincerity to his music. He combines all the elements of traditional soul singing with a contemporary approach. Sexy, sensitive, suave, he captivates female audiences across the country with his smooth delivery, while verbalizing the sentiments of male listeners through the lyrics of his songs. Keith Washington brings a wealth of experience to his music as a chart-topping recording artist and dynamic performer. A native of Detroit, home of many legendary stars, Keith was first “discovered” by family members who overheard him singing to a James Brown record when he was just six years old. His obvious vocal skill brought him his first gig, performing on a show in Canada with a then-unknown Brenda Russell and appearances on a local Detroit TV Program. The winner of numerous talent shows as a member of various local groups during his teens, Keith Washington began his professional career in earnest when he began touring with Detroit-based R&B favorites, The Dramatics. When the group’s producer Don Davis heard him, he invited Keith to hang out at United Sound, one of the city’s top studios and after doing a vocal session for the funk king George Clinton on a Funkadelic record, Keith had no doubt about his career path: “Doing what I loved and getting paid for it, too? Hey, then I knew music was (the right thing) for me.” Keith then went on to work with various producers such as BabyFace & L.A Reid, Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Gerald Levert and various others. Among the up-and-coming ballad stylists in the 90’s urban contemporary generation, Keith Washington rode to fame with his 1991 LP “Make Time For Love” which was co-produced by Quincy Jones. The first single of this LP, “ Kissing You” was an R&B smash. “Kissing You” later was heard as background music on the NBC Soap Opera, General Hospital and resulted in Keith’s acting debut as a regular character on the NBC Soap Opera. Keith made cameo appearances in the Martin Lawrence Show and Poetic Justice. Washington issued the follow-up LP “You Make It Easy” in 1993 and after a lengthy absence; he resurfaced in 1998 with KW. Today Keith plays Marvin Gaye in “My Brother Marvin Gaye” Theater Production which is currently touring in cities throughout the United States. He is also currently adding the finishing touches to his 4th LP, stay tuned for the cashmere vocal styling of Keith to top the music charts again… （来源 http://kissdetroit.com/pulse/keithwashington/ keith-washington-to-host-kisses-after-dark-this-sunday/） ※ 引述《prexceed (金屋藏焦)》之铭言： : 熟悉Keith Washington的朋友应该都很清楚 : 出版过三张专辑的这位底特律男歌手 : 他的嗓音极富情感与渗透力 : 但是 : 我们可能很容易忘记KW曾经与两位女歌手的合唱曲 : 第一首是与Kylie Minogue合唱的If You Were With Me Now（1991年） : http://www.musicuploader.org/MUSIC/3528181233848145.mp3 : 第二首是与Taylor Dayne合唱的The Door to Your Heart（1993年） : http://www.musicuploader.org/MUSIC/9721631233847502.mp3 : discogs有比较完整的纪录 : http://www.discogs.com/artist/Keith+Washington : 两首歌最初都收录於女歌手的专辑里 : 相似点为 : 女歌手都是白人 : 女歌手都曾红了又过气然後又再红一次 : 以当时流行歌曲样貌呈现的KW似乎未能就此拓展事业版图 : 特别要提出的是 : KW是Quincy Jones拉拔的男歌手 : 在Q的厂牌Qwest时代的两张专辑之後 : 尽管年分已到了1998年 : 这张转战至已故的黑乐作手Louil Silas, Jr.麾下的第三张专辑 : （http://www.discogs.com/artist/Louil+Silas+Jr.） : 内容与走法（指的是流行味） : 可能比较接近上述两首非收录於KW个人专辑的对唱曲 : 不管如何 : KW的多首歌曲还是经得起时间巨轮的考验 : P.S.1 If You Were With Me Now和1988年Kylie Minogue+Jason Donovan的单曲 : Especially for You可作为比较 : P.S.2 The Door to Your Heart是活跃整个90年代的Diane Warren作品 -- http://crotchery2.blogspot.com/ --
