Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, better known by his stage name Ginuwine, is an American R&B singer. He began his career as a member of the musical collective Swing Mob in the early 1990s. As a solo act, he signed with Epic Records to release his 1996 debut single, "Pony". The song peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and preceded the release of his debut studio album Ginuwine...The Bachelor, which saw moderate but steady commercial success and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. His second and third albums, 100% Ginuwine and The Life both peaked within the top five on the Billboard 200 while the latter spawned the single "Differences", which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains his highest charting song.
His fourth album, The Senior spawned the top ten single "In Those Jeans", as well as the top 40 singles "Hell Yeah" and "Stingy". His fifth, Back II da Basics peaked within the top ten of the Billboard 200 and served as his final release with Epic; he signed with Warner Records to release his sixth album A Man's Thoughts, which performed similarly despite mixed critical reception.
