James Ingram
Quincy Jones’ protégé James Ingram started off his career as a singer, pianist, and songwriter (co-writer of Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T”) who made women everywhere swoon as he crooned about grown folk love (see “One Hundred Ways”). And who could forget sexy quiet storm jam “The Secret Garden” that had many 1980s male R&B singers all together on one song?
