Peabo Bryson

House
HouseRhythm and blues

Peabo Bryson is a House and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Dixie Dregs, Walter Afanasieff, The Five Stairsteps, Michael Zager Band and Donald Lawrence. Those roots explain a lot about how Peabo Bryson arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jeffrey Osborne, Brian McKnight, Natalie Cole, Vanessa Williams and DeBarge, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into We Don't Talk About Bruno, The 411, Ruben Studdard, Tessanne Chin and Céline Dion, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Peabo Bryson, reaching back through Dixie Dregs and forward to We Don't Talk About Bruno.
