James is one of the most underrated singers in the business !

The Secret Garden by Quincy Jones, James Ingram, Barry White, El DeBarge, and AL B. Sure is a timeless classic

One Hundred Ways by Quincy Jones and James Ingram is a classic

Michael McDonald is very much alive and kickin'. He just turned 71 on Feb. 12. I saw MM at a show he did in Modesto, CA about six years ago and he did not disappoint!💯

His part in Secret Garden was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

His voice was amazing! And he was so good looking!

Im 56 yrs old I remember him from the mid 80s he was one of the best voices at the time for sure

Absolutely love James Ingram's music. He had a strong sultry voice. So many classics. Secret Garden will never get old❤💯

Baby Come to Me by Patti Austin and James Ingram is a timeless song

This episode just hitting me different because I kid you not I follow his son and just yesterday I was telling him how much I miss his father. James is one of the greatest songwriters I've ever heard. I still think Baby Come To Me is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. He was a huge part of my musical upbringing and I truly do miss him 🙏🏾

James was such a talented brotha and he is truly missed ❤️

I Don't Have the Heart by James Ingram is a timeless ballad

So many musicians have passed on but we are still being BLESSED with their music!!

This brother was EVERYTHING.That legendary squeal Whoo Hoo😮Couldn’t Nobody do it like him🎯Gone but NEVER forgotten ❤

I remember listening to him and Patti Austin sanging Baby Come To Me as a little girl in the 80s. His range and vocals were gospel rooted for real. He’s underrated in a major way. Didn’t know he wrote P.Y.T. Love that song. LaToya sang back up on that song. Thank you for featuring him and taking the time to research his life. Much appreciated.❤❤❤❤❤

Man, James Ingram talent was on another level. That song "Ya Mo Be There", even though that song came out a year before I was born. That song is my jam still to this day I love that song!!

James Ingram had such a wonderful voice and delivery. He had such a great voice that another singer, yes I'm going to say it. Michael Bolton immitated him. RIP James Ingram.

Love James Ingram! He had such a distinctive voice, especially in Secret Garden! One Hundred Ways is one of my favorites! Thanks CU for the upload!

One celebrity that I truly miss. His talent was simply amazing.

He did so much behind the scenes! He is definitely UNDERRATED!

One of my favorite singers growing up. Thank you for giving us info on his background.

Wow he wrote "P.Y.T." & was in the " Secret Garden". enough said, awesome guy

One of the greatest singers to me he will be missed.

Quincy Jones' Back on the Block album is a timeless classic

What a legend I loved his voice!🫶🏽❤️✨

Respect In Peace To The Legendary James Ingram.

Let me tell it James Ingram had the best part in Secret Garden

If you listen to all of the talent that was on the "we are the world" record and the video, James's voice is by far the most powerful voice of them all, I have always loved James's music, another great performance by him is a KZfaq video of him and Tamia, singing "How do you keep the music playing", hosted by Robert Townsend. Thank you for doing this show💖

Thank you for doing this one, Man!! ❤️My all-time favorite male vocalist. Nobody, I mean Nobody could sing like James Ingram. He would have me shaking my head like, how did he do that with his voice?! The other thing I loved about him was that he was so family oriented. I heard him say once he didn't tour a lot because he wanted to be there for his wife and kids! What a good guy, a true gentleman! Love and Miss him. RIP Mr. Ingram ❤️🙏🏽

James Ingram and Patti Austin really did have EXCELLENT duet chemistry! Their voices were perfect together like Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack. I LOVE James/Patti song “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” beautiful song. I also love Patti’s Razzamatazz off Quincy Jones The Dude album..

His catalog is very impressive! I enjoyed listening to his sultry voice. May he rest in peace

You stay putting out BANGERS and you’re a great narrator! Keep ‘em coming fam!🎉🎉🎉

He was Married 44 Years! 🤵🏽‍♂️ 👰🏽 💒 Phenomenal Singer, Grammy Winner and Talented Songwriter. Rest in Peaceful Glorious Paradise 🙏🏽 🎤🎶🎵🎹🎸🎻🎷🪕🪘 Gone too Soon! Blessings to his Widow, Children and Grandchildren.

James Ingram Is One ☝🏿 of The Greatest. Him and Michael McDonald is Are Amazing. In Secret Garden He Took It Home. Heartbroken 😔 When He Passed. Remembered In Perfection (RIP)

He was a family friend of ours. It messed me up when he passed. Back in 2010 , he just called my aunt and just sang to her. Very touching, her husband and her son passed a week apart, that was a depressing time Wooo what a time that was, but we making it, one day at time!! Akron Ohio, All Day, One Love, RIP James Much, MUCH LOVE!! One of my loved ones was singing with him but drugs interfered on what it couldve been, but my dude been clean for almost 20 years so thats great for that to workout. From Me, My family to you, Much Love, Love you!!

Yah Mo Be There is still on my playlist to this day. May this legend RIP 🕊️

Hope everyone is having an amazing day!! Love y'all and stay blessed! Amen!!

So many artists came from Ohio such as Zapp, Levert, James Ingram, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Men at Large, the Rude Boys, MO Thugs Family, Bow Wow and many more!!!

Love James Ingram Thank u Celebrity Underrated for your great work 🙌🏽💯

This was good. There was a lot I didn't know about him. Thank you for giving him his flowers,

its hard to believe that with his beautiful handsome voice ..he would have some much trouble with people not promoting him ..its just mind boggling...truly truly crazy...he sang with Patti Austin and they were great together...never knew til years later his baby brother was Phillip Ingram..then it all made sense..music is in their genes..its just in them....and they gave their best to us...

I was waiting for you to mention James Ingram song from 1981 called "Love's Calling" with the group Zingara. This is when I was introduced to James Ingram. May he rest in peace. He was an icon. Truly missed for real.

You're very thorough on your research!!! May James Ingram continue to rest in peace🙏🙏

A True Cultural LEGEND ❤Mr James Ingram❤ ✝️🕊RIP 🕊🌹

Just Once and much more! My goodness! I really miss James!!!! I still listen to his music! Its therapy and takes me back as a kid and a simpler time!! Could you do Jimi Hendrix!!😻😻😻😻😻😻💋💋💋💋💋

Thank for telling his story.

Here's a random fact: Jaimee Foxxworth AKA Judy Winslow from Family Matters appeared in Quincy Jones' Tomorrow video as one of the kids in the choir

This is one of the videos i have been waiting for thank you so much. Can we please get stories on Jesse Powell, Reggie Warren, Tommy Debarge, Anita Pointer, Dennis D. T. Thomas, Issac Hayes, Joyce Sims & B. Smyth?

Right on time....💞💝. I was looking for something to watch and you were there. James Ingram was a talented man and I pray he is resting in paradise 💗

All American music is Black music. Let's not forget that African Americans are the creators of Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, EDM/House, etc. These genres were stolen and white washed and African American artist are marginalized to Urban categories of music to perpetuate negative stereotypes surrounding the African American community. Additionally, Pop simply means "Popular" however Pop music has been synonymous with whiteness while Black has been associated with "Urban" even though Blacks created every genre of music in America. Just because you are Black, that does not mean that you are "R&B". All music is Black music. White America has wrongfully stolen and white washed everything. Even the Latin categories are white washed with white Latinos even though Afro Latinos created every Latin genre of music from Salsa to Reggaeton 😑😑😑😑😑

I am old enough to be his daughter but I have always loved his music and he had such a unique voice and he accomplished so much thank you for doing this story,there’s a lot I did not know about him I thought he was just a singer I didn’t know he was an all-around talent

One of the best….his voice was almost missed because he was a musician (or so he thought) ❤️

I knew he died from brain cancer but I had no idea it was attributed to AZ. Oh, that thing is ferocious on people 😔 Thank you for giving more info about the behind the scenes work. Unforgettable artist that Michael Bolton owes all of his his "hoo-oooo-hoo" to😉☺️

I loved his voice. He could hit those high notes then in the next bar drop it down real low. A great talent that WILL be missed.

I like your channel! I LOVE THAT SONG "I'll be good to you" That's my sonnnggg! 🎧🎶🎶🎶💃💃💃💃

Another excellent episode 🏆. I can not believe James Ingram thought his voice was bad. He great singing voice.

He is definitely underrated and idk why?!?! He’s definitely in my top 10 vocalists.

James Ingram’s brother Phillip was a member of the group Switch with Tommy & Bobby DeBarge, El DeBarge two oldest brothers. Rest in peace to James, Tommy and Bobby, god bless. 🕊

You touched my heart with this one. Thank you for reminding us how much he contributed to music. Not to mention he was so handsome and always a gentleman ❤️

Quincy Jones' The Dude album is a classic

One of my absolute favorite artists,an unbelievable talent. Thank you for this video.

James Ingram is definitely missed and loved....truly a talented brother gone too soon....thank you for uploading this 💜💜💜

"Baby Come To Me" is one of my favorite. I always thought that Michael Jackson singing that song with James Ingram, but I discovered that it was Patti Austin.

I never knew he was behind so many iconic hits

I love Baby Come To Me by him and Patti Austin ❤❤❤

On of the most manly voices ever and one of my all time favorites that never got to props he deserved one of the greatest to ever do it

*You forgot about the smash hit "100 Ways", which came out in 1987.*

Another great "Celebrity Underrated" episode ! Thank you for all of your research and you are such a wonderful commentator ! I loved the added video touch too ! Very cool ! Bless

James Ingram had one of the most outstanding voices of ALL time!!

He died in the same year as Melvin Edmonds, Nathaniel Taylor and Nipsey Hussle

My favorite James Ingram song was pretty young thing and secret graded two of my favorites songs from him and still playing on every radio station aslo on KZfaq and old school 📺

Ima listen to that “ back in the block album” ……memories 😊

Heyy, Ty CU, I never knew he was the brother of Phil from "Switch" I love "Switch" I truly enjoy ur content on all of these celebrities, I adored JI, He was indeed a great singer/songwriter, Continue to RIHP JI🕯🕊🌹✌🏽

I love him 100 ways

James Ingram's segment in We are the World was my favorite.

Thanks for doing this video!! One of my favorite artist. May he rest in peace! Legend!

REST IN PEACE JAMES INGRAM 🕊️😇 💜❤️

Compliment watch she does send her roses just because (find 100 ways) R.I.P J.I.

RIP James Ingram 😢❤️ one of my favorite singers

I love your research man 👍🏿

Thank you for taking the time to carefully give the timeline of this musical genius. Time is inevitable and we have to embrace those moments. James was a guy I played every chance I could due to the melodic sounds of how he brought the song to a reality. As a DJ I was very personable with artist creativity and talent. We are losing our legends so rapidly that I feel we should embrace every moment with them whether in a song on the radio or next to them on the couch. We know they are our history to embrace forevermore!!

I love his music and Always will always be one my favorite songs ever!

Manythnx🔥RIP

James Ingram was VERY underrated. Thanks for this video. I still listen to these old school cats everyday. I cannot name 5 R/B songs out right now.

Great, video my brother. I'm glad you started throwing videos along with the story 💪🏿. Can I please get that Dr. Khalid Muhammad video. Keep up the great work.

Very talented man.

Yes *P.Y.T.* was my favorite song off THRILLER, James Ingram did his thing writing that. Mr. Ingram was one of the most unique voices and superb songwriters ever and his history & service will never be forgotten.

His voice was insane. May he rest in peace. What a legend underrated and all. I can't fathom why he thought he wasn't a singer because he was one of the greatest. That hoo hoo hoo on on We are the world is one of my favorite ad libs.

The day I fall In love is one of my favorite songs

The song, remembers the dream is so amazing.💯💯

Don't forget this brother put melody to a wedding vow in a song written by John Tesh titled "Give me Forever".

I just love to hear his voice so smooth and intoxicating

Yessss! Another one!

Keeps coming for more ...just very interesting concept and details that the mainstream media doesn't cover

This is my first time hearing about James Ingram and I must say he was an extraordinary man that was a musical genius.
