Ingram was a singer, producer, songwriter and instrumentalist. The multi-talented artist was also a two-time Grammy Award winner and was nominated twice by the Academy Awards for Best Original Song. His #1 smash “I Don’t Have The Heart” was his second #1 hit and his first as a solo artist.
Ingram co-wrote Michael Jackson’s smash hit “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)”with Quincy Jones. They teamed up again in 1989 to produce one of the greatest slow songs of all time “Secret Garden”. Between Ingram, Barry White, Al B. Sure and El Debarge, the slow jams mix tapes market surged and many 90s babies entered this world.
Today the world lost an amazing talent and we mourn the loss of James Ingram. Rest In Power James.
