R&B phenomenon Brian McKnight emerged in the early '90s armed with a heart-stopping falsetto, a superhuman vocal range, and an arsenal of instrumental skills (piano, bass guitar, tuba, and beyond). He has the songwriting chops to pen everything from the sexy, hip-hop-inflected strut of "You Should Be Mine (Don't Waste Your Time)" to the cool, classy pop ballad "Back At One"—and his remarkable voice brings it all to vivid life, making the word into flesh in a stunningly soulful fashion.
