The life and legacy of two-time Grammy Award-winning singer Peabo Bryson were celebrated during a private, invitation-only homegoing service that honored one of the most beloved voices in modern R&B history.
Known for timeless classics such as “Feel the Fire,” “I’m So Into You,” “Tonight, I Celebrate My Love,” “Reaching for the Sky,” and “Can You Stop the Rain,” Bryson also became a household name through his Oscar and Grammy-winning Disney duets, “Beauty and the Beast” and “A Whole New World.” His remarkable catalog served as the soundtrack to generations of listeners and was fittingly at the center of a moving celebration of life.
Among those in attendance were actor and comedian Chris Tucker, legendary songwriter and producer Terry Lewis, R&B icon Angela Winbush, jazz vocalist Jean Carne, Sy Jones of The Jones Girls, Bowlegged Lou of Full Force, Tawatha Agee of Mtume, actor Emmanuel Lewis, journalist Ed Gordon, Grammy-nominated singer Glenn Jones, and numerous friends, colleagues, and admirers whose lives were touched by Bryson’s music and generosity.
