80’s R & B Singer James Ingram has passed away, he was hot in the 80’s with his hit “Just Once”
Ingram recorded several chart-toppers in the ’80s, including his #1 duet with Patti Austin, “Baby Come to Me” … as well as “Somewhere Out There” with Linda Rondstat, “100 Ways” and “Just Once.”
He won a Grammy for “Yah Mo B There” — his duet with Michael McDonald — and another for “100 Ways.” He was nominated for 12 other times for Grammys.
James worked closely Quincy Jones over the years … recording and writing hits. For instance, he and Q co-wrote Michael Jackson’s smash hit, “P.Y.T.” from the “Thriller” album. Debbie Allen posted on her social media that she had lost a good friend and she was heartbroken. No one really knew he was sick, or I hadn’t heard anything about him being ill. But according to TMZ he died from brain cancer. #keepitjuicy
