Keith Washington (born November 15, 1960) is an American R&B vocalist from Detroit, Michigan who, with this release, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance Male and won a 1992 Soul Train Music Award for Best Male R&B/Soul Single. The song also topped the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for one week.
Seemingly no longer so active as a recording artist, Washington now hosts the nighttime "Slow Jams" show "Kisses After Dark" on Detroit radio station WDMK-FM 105.9 (Kiss-FM).
What a treat for the ears 'Kissing You' is. It has a classic 80's soul feel that puts you in mind of quality artists such as Alexander O'Neil and Luthor Vandross (More on that in a moment). it is a real touch of class. The remix doesn't sound as nice to me although your mileage may differ.
Both backup tracks are also really good, which makes a pleasant change. And is it just me, or does We Can Work It Out sound like a Luthor track, and This Heart Of Mine like an Alex O'Neil?

Forgot all about this, great track, didn't he duet with Kylie?
ReplyDeleteHe certainly did, Tim. I'd actually forgotten all about that. What a strange pick for a duet!
