There are at least two artists known as Case.

1) an R&B performer from New York
2) a British punk/ska/oi band formed originally in the early 1980’s, recently re-formed (Summer 2011).

1) Case Woodard was born in New York City and was signed to Def Soul records. He first started working in the R&B industry as a backup singer, working with big name R&B artists like Usher.

In 1996, Case released his self-titled debut album. The album featured “Touch Me Tease Me” with rapper Foxy Brown and R&B singer Mary J. Blige, the hit single from “The Nutty Professor”. The single went gold, reaching #4 on the R&B charts and #14 on the Hot 100.

Case’s second album, Personal Conversation, was released in 1999 and went gold. The album featured the hit single “Happily Ever After” which reached #3 on the R&B charts and #15 on the Hot 100. The album’s other single, “Think Of You” failed to do well on the charts, managing to only reach #50 on the R&B charts.

Open Letter, Case’s most well-known album was released in 2001. The album went gold, likely a result of the single “Missing You.” “Missing You” is Case’s only #1 single to date as it topped the R&B charts and reached #4 on the Hot 100.

After the success of “Open Letter”, Case moved to Atlanta to be closer to his children, and has over the last several years proven to be a real survivor. To say his seven years “away” from music have been interesting would be an understatement. In 2002 his true determination to survive was witnessed when Case accidentally shot himself in the throat.

    It's not unusual that R&B/hiphop/pop performers recycle names from old punk bands. Bad imagination or bad research I guess.

    @MEMDA: Thank you for summoning up what I have been saying about the pitiful state of R&B. I bought the Album last April (2009), & found it to be amazing. I highly recommend it to those out there that appreciate real Soul And R&B, not the Pop/R&B bs that has been out for too long. Gone are the days where you would constantly hear, & watch tight Soul And R&B on both the Radio, & TV. You would be lucky to even hear, & watch one nowadays, & it has been like that since 2005-2006!
