I remember listening to him and Patti Austin sanging Baby Come To Me as a little girl in the 80s. His range and vocals were gospel rooted for real. He’s underrated in a major way. Didn’t know he wrote P.Y.T. Love that song. LaToya sang back up on that song. Thank you for featuring him and taking the time to research his life. Much appreciated.❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for doing this one, Man!! ❤️My all-time favorite male vocalist. Nobody, I mean Nobody could sing like James Ingram. He would have me shaking my head like, how did he do that with his voice?! The other thing I loved about him was that he was so family oriented. I heard him say once he didn't tour a lot because he wanted to be there for his wife and kids! What a good guy, a true gentleman! Love and Miss him. RIP Mr. Ingram ❤️🙏🏽

[@babygirldustin8876]

If you listen to all of the talent that was on the "we are the world" record and the video, James's voice is by far the most powerful voice of them all, I have always loved James's music, another great performance by him is a KZbin video of him and Tamia, singing "How do you keep the music playing", hosted by Robert Townsend. Thank you for doing this show💖

[@sarahthomas2506]

Yes, you're absolutely right! I hear James high pitched vocals on We Are The World! When I heard that song today it makes cry and I het goosebumps! The spring of 1985! Wow! I miss James! I still listen to his sultry vocals! ❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋

[@BountifulOrchard]

James Ingram and Patti Austin really did have EXCELLENT duet chemistry! Their voices were perfect together like Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack. I LOVE James/Patti song “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” beautiful song. I also love Patti’s Razzamatazz off Quincy Jones The Dude album..

He was a family friend of ours. It messed me up when he passed. Back in 2010 , he just called my aunt and just sang to her.

Akron Ohio, All Day, One Love, RIP James Much, MUCH LOVE!! One of my loved ones was singing with him but drugs interfered on what it couldve been, but my dude been clean for almost 20 years so thats great for that to workout. From Me, My family to you, Much Love, Love you!!

[@Demebeso714]

its hard to believe that with his beautiful handsome voice ..he would have some much trouble with people not promoting him ..its just mind boggling...truly truly crazy...he sang with Patti Austin and they were great together...never knew til years later his baby brother was Phillip Ingram..then it all made sense..music is in their genes..its just in them....and they gave their best to us...

[@JohnDeDominicano]

All American music is Black music. Let's not forget that African Americans are the creators of Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, EDM/House, etc. These genres were stolen and white washed and African American artist are marginalized to Urban categories of music to perpetuate negative stereotypes surrounding the African American community. Additionally, Pop simply means "Popular" however Pop music has been synonymous with whiteness while Black has been associated with "Urban" even though Blacks created every genre of music in America. Just because you are Black, that does not mean that you are "R&B". All music is Black music. White America has wrongfully stolen and white washed everything. Even the Latin categories are white washed with white Latinos even though Afro Latinos created every Latin genre of music from Salsa to Reggaeton 😑😑😑😑😑

Thank you for taking the time to carefully give the timeline of this musical genius. Time is inevitable and we have to embrace those moments. James was a guy I played every chance I could due to the melodic sounds of how he brought the song to a reality. As a DJ I was very personable with artist creativity and talent. We are losing our legends so rapidly that I feel we should embrace every moment with them whether in a song on the radio or next to them on the couch. We know they are our history to embrace forevermore!!
