Ali is the name of at least three recording artists.

1) Ali (born Alistair Tennant in East London in 1973) s a British Soul/Neo-Soul/R&B singer. He is well-known as a songwriter and studio vocalist, having co-written and sung backing vocals on songs from the likes of U.K. reggae-pop star Maxi Priest, bubblegum divas All Saints (he wrote their hit “I Don’t Wanna Be Alone”), boy band equivalent Westlife, and the Lou Pearlman project O-Town. Prior to his solo career, Ali was a member of Rhythm and Bass and one-half of the vocal team Aliway, which he formed with his writing and production partner Wayne Hector and which appeared on records by British teen groups Caught in the Act and 5ive.

Musically, was influenced by Philadelphia Soul of the 1970’s. An Ali song like “Whatever You Want” could be a long-lost followup single to the Spinners’ 1974 smash, “Mighty Love.”

“I take a lot from that kind of Philly soul, the strings and the texture,” Ali says. “I love the essence of that era.”


2) Ali (born Ali Jones in 1972) is an American Hip-Hop artist. He is responsible for forming the St. Louis rap group known as the St. Lunatics, which also include Kyjuan, Murphy Lee, Nelly, and Nelly’s incarcerated brother, City Spud.

Ali convinced Nelly, who is the most popular member of the group to go solo, and bring the group out. Since then Ali has made guest appearances on all of Nelly’s albums except his 2004 album, Suit (album). He has also appeared on both of the St. Lunatics’ albums, and released a solo-album, Heavy Starch in 2002.

    Вы хотите сказать, к нигеру из Сент Луиса, арабу из Франции добавлись ещё и какие-то корецы?! #SMFH

    il est musulman mais ça n'a rien de génant qu'il exprime son amour pour Dieu. Ce n'est pas du prosélitisme. C'est pareil que les rappeurs qui expriment leur amour pour l'argent, ou les belles voitures ou encore les femmes :)

    En même temps je me demande en quoi ça peut géner le fait qu'il répète Allah Le Très Haut souvent, c'est ses croyances. Pour un musulman, y a rien de plus normal.

    @Yung: Et? C'est un musulman. Je le suis également, et j'aime les paroles ;) Après t'es pas obligé d'écouter quelque chose en opposition avec tes croyances hein.
