Today's topic on SoundCloud: James Ingram he was a singer songwriter and producer James Ingram made thoughtful and beautiful love songs. I miss his voice and the style he had singing love songs. One of my favorite love songs by James Ingram is One Hundred Ways is a 1981 single released from Quincy Jones's album the dude on A&M records. The song reached number 14 on the US billboard Hot 100 in 1982. It was a bigger Adult Contemporary hit reaching number five in the US and number six in Canada. One Hundred Ways received the 1982 Grammy award for best R&B vocal performance.

After Ingram began his career in 1973, he charted eight top 40 hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart from the early 1980s until the early 1990s, as well as thirteen top 40 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In addition, he charted 20 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart (including two number-ones). He had two number-one singles on the Hot 100: the first, a duet with fellow R&B artist Patti Austin, 1982's "Baby, Come to Me" topped the U.S. pop chart in 1983; "I Don't Have the Heart", which became his second number-one in 1990 was his only number-one as a solo artist. In between these hits he also recorded other songs.

James Ingram passed away in Los Angeles of brain cancer in 2019. He was only 66 years old. Ingram was the best. He let us know there are many ways to express love.
