Keith Washington
To this album, Keith Washington brings a wealth of experience as a chart-topping recording artist and dynamic performer. A native of Detroit, home to many of music's legendary soul stars, Keith was first 'discovered' by family members who overheard him singing to a James Brown record when he was just six years old. His obvious vocals skill brought him his first gig, performing on a show in Canada with a then-unknown Brenda Russell and appearances on a local Detroit T.V. program. The winner of numerous talent shows as a member of various local groups during his teens, Keith began his professional career in earnest when he began touring with Detroit-based R&B favorites, The Dramatics. When the group's producer Don Davis heard him, he invited Keith to hang out at United Sound, one of the city's top studios and after doing a vocal session for funk king George Clinton on a Funkadelic record, Keith had no doubt about his career path: "Doing what I loved and getting paid for it, too? Hey, then I knew music was [the right thing] for me."
