Sam Salter
Sam Salter是个比较低调的歌手,但为人低调出的专集确是张张精致.他早年在家乡洛杉矶的唱诗班中担任重要角色,深受灵魂大师Marvin Gaye和Stevie Wonder影响,机缘巧合被babyface的老搭档L.A. Reid发掘并签约LaFace.1997年,他发行了个人的首张专辑It''s on Tonight,口碑很不错,自It''s On Tonight认识这张The Little Black Book中最经典的应该是那首Love Again了吧,开头Sam Salter充满感情的独白诉说了段悲伤的爱情故事,也奠定了这首歌整体的基调,没什么好形容的了,尤其是高潮部分堪称经典。此人仅出了2张专辑,就消失了,很是遗憾啊!了Sam Salter,从此就爱上了这个充满魅力的声音,而且他中慢版的抒情R&B也是我最喜欢的音乐风格。 by John BushGospel-primed soul singer Sam Salter spent several years in the choir of the Faithful Church of God in Christ in his native Los Angeles, then crossed to the secular side of the tracks for his 1997 recording debut, It''s On Tonight. As well as his religious inspirations, Salter was early influenced by the classic soul of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, winning several local talent shows as a teenager. He recorded a demo tape that was heard by super producer L.A. Reid, the co-head of LaFace Records, and he soon signed a contract with one of the most hyped urban R&B labels in the U.S. Salter worked with the other half of LaFace, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, to record his album debut, It''s On Tonight. Little Black Book followed in mid-2000.
