Flashback Whose That ...

Tomorrow. Tell Me What You Want To Do, Alone With You, Goodbye, Can We Talk, Im Ready and Goodbye, all songs by the then uber hot Tevin Campbell.  He was ALL over the radio, the young Texas native had that 'it' factor.  Quincy Jones, Narada Michael Walden and Prince all handled production duties.  The world was introduced to Campbell in 1990 through Quincy Jones Grammy Award Winning 'Back On The Black' on the single 'Tomorrow'.  In 1991 came his debut cd entitled T.E.V.I.N. which contained four top singles, two  of them went to #1 (Tell Me What You Want Me To Do and Alone With You).  The project easily went platinum.  In 1993 he released his 'Im Ready' cd which was originally intended for Usher, but contract conflicts and timing prevented Usher from recording 'Im Ready' so his loss was Campell's gain, which resulted in a double-platinum album, containing two more #1 records, one being the summer anthem 'Can We Talk' and the title track 'Im Ready'.  After the successes of Tevin's first two projects he wanted to have a more creative control over his career, against the better judgement of his record label in 1996 he released 'Back To The World' which was a little startling, Campbell appeared on the cover wearing braid extensions, which went against his wholesome appearance that his fans had come to know him for.  The project failed to make any noise, that mixed in with some media drama about his personal life, added attention to the obvious change in Campbell.  His last project was released in 1999, flew under the radar.  These days Tevin Campbell is recording and touring.  His next tour date is in July at The Essence Festival in New Orleans.
