Some of these you may be unfamiliar with others you’ll certainly have heard of but may simply not be aware that he had anything to do with them and a handful of them are pure quiet-storm classics and must-owns for any serious R&B buff, beginning with … Since so many of Ingram’s greatest moments were done in collaboration with other artists and seldom appeared on his own studio full-lengths, it can be slightly tricky to collect all his most notable work, but we’ve compiled this list of twelve albums that together help to summarize his remarkable career. The criminally underrated R&B vocalist/songwriter –who ironically ended up becoming a pop star purely by accident, thanks to a very famous admirer who wouldn’t take “no” for an answer – found himself fielding so many invitations to come duet with or write for other artists that you may be surprised to realize that he only managed to cut four albums of his own during his entire first two decades in the industry and did not have a Top 40 hit under his name and his name alone until the ‘90s! But Ingram’s long string of hit duets is certainly one that may never quite be topped, either artistically or commercially, and his voice and songwriting talent both will certainly be much missed.
James Ingram - the recipient of an impressive fourteen total Grammy nominations (winning on two of those occasions) and two Oscar nominations - certainly never lacked for work in the ‘80s and early ‘90s.
