Legendary R&B singer Peabo Bryson has died at 75.
Bryson built a five-decade career as one of R&B's premier balladeers with hits like "Can You Stop the Rain" and "Feel the Fire."
He was the iconic voice behind the Oscar-winning Disney duet "Beauty and the Beast" with Celine Dion, and Aladdin's "A Whole New World" with Regina Belle, the first song from an animated film to top the Billboard Hot 100.
Bryson's family said that he died days after a stroke.
On this day 32 years ago I released Beauty and The Beast alongside Celine Dion, The Official soundtrack to the 1991 Disney Film. I have so many amazing memories attached to this record, being able to perform it live around the world and what it went on to do 💛🙏🏾
I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today. His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance. He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast. He made me so comfortable, as I was just learning to sing in English. He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…
My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo.
Love,
Celine xx…
