Fairfax, VA (BlackNews.com) - On Tuesday, June 7 Time Life will release Peabo Bryson Presents Classic Soul Ballads to retail stores nationwide. This CD is a special 18-track collection of the greatest love songs from Grammy-Award winning and legendary Soul artists.

Multiple Grammy-Award winning legend Peabo Bryson is one of the premier male vocalists in contemporary music with a career spanning twenty-five years of great hits. His unprecedented international success resulted in being the first artist in music history to have separate records topping four different charts: A Whole New World (Alladin's Theme), a duet with Regina Belle that won an Oscar for Best Song in 1992 and earned Peabo a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal by a Duo or Group, topped both the Pop and Adult Contemporary charts. During this time, Peabo teamed up with Tony Winner Lea Salonga and recorded the song We Kiss In A Shadow for the classical musical The King and I, which was No.1 on the Classical Crossover charts; while saxophonist Kenny G's multi-platinum Breathless which also featured Peabo on By The Time This Night Is Over topped Contemporary Jazz charts. In 1991, Peabo teamed up with international superstar Celine Dion to record the theme tune for Disney's hit film Beauty and The Beast, which received a Grammy for Best Vocal by Duo or Group, an Oscar for Best Song and No. 1 on the Pop charts.
Peabo Bryson has been seen by hundreds of millions of TV viewers as Host of Time Life's Multi Platinum selling Classic Soul Ballads. Mr. Bryson takes great pride in being the national spokesperson for Time Life and the great music it represents.
