HouseRhythm and blues

Peabo Bryson is a House and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Keni Burke, Michael Zager Band, Donald Lawrence, Taana Gardner and The 411.

They run in the same orbit as Jeffrey Osborne, Brian McKnight, Natalie Cole, Vanessa Williams and Michael Bolton, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tessanne Chin, Céline Dion, Luther Vandross, Cissy Houston and Natalie Cole, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
