American composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Has been invaluable in the development of genres like neo soul and/or hip-hop soul. His output was limited to (just) three studio albums, but each one revolutionized soul and funk music, due to his unique phrasing, sense of rhythm, vocal arrangements and production methods. Regarded by many as heir to the lineage of James Brown, Sly Stone, George Clinton and Prince
Brown Sugar
Voodoo
Black Messiah
