What’s Happened To R&B Music? The Real Men of R&B We Love

Tevin Campbell
Who can forget Tevin Campbell? The once adorable 13-year-old boy who had the vocal range beyond his years was discovered by Quincy Jones and had everyone floored with his strong vocals and beautiful tracks (“Can We Talk” is a classic!). Not only did Campbell have great vocal range, but he also had the positive image to match. Nowadays, most R&B artists are known for their sexually suggestive lyrics and enormous amounts of collaborations with sketchy rap artists. His most recent performances include The Monique Show in 2010 as well as the BET Awards’ tribute to the O’Jays (2009), on the TVOne show “Life After,” and he’s currently recording new music for his comeback.
