James Ingram (born February 16, 1952 in Akron, Ohio) is a Music icon, Multi Grammy award-winner and back-to-back Oscar nominee who inspires and touches the hearts of millions of listeners worldwide through his abundant gifts as a singer, performer, songwriter, composer, arranger and producer.

In early 2009 Ingram returns to his roots with the release of his first complete inspirational CD, the much-anticipated Stand (in the Light). Inspired by the plight of the Hurricane Katrina victims, Stand features new works and “Yah Mo Be There” — his legendary, Grammy award-winning 1983 collaboration with Michael McDonald — and is the natural advancement in a career grounded in faith; blessed with the influence and mentorship of some of the seminal forces in American music history including Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder; and shaped and molded by Quincy Jones.

From funk to soul to R&B to pop to adult contemporary to inspirational, James Ingram’s multi-faceted talents have dazzled the American music scene since the early ’80s. The Akron, Ohio, native went from playing local bars with Revelation Funk to Los Angeles, where he landed the types of gigs that most aspiring musicians only dream about: singing background vocals and playing piano for Ray Charles’ recording studio sessions; recording studio sessions and playing keyboards behind the Coasters for Dick Clark; and recording background vocals for his mentor, Marvin Gaye.

    The perfect duet partner, an amazing voice and, from everything I've heard, just a great guy. I've just been enjoying his (Quincy produced!) It's Your Night album.

    Wonder what it would take to get these guys down in Durban S.A. We are sick and tied of house music and rap, it's time to bring out the big guns
