A graduate of DeLand High School, Terence Trent Howard was born in Manhattan, New York and joined the army after leaving college, serving in Elvis Presley’s old regiment in Germany. He was formally discharged by the army in 1983 after going absent without leave. While in Germany, he also worked with the band The Touch , releasing an album of material called Love On Time (1984). It was later re-issued in 1989 as Early Works after D’Arby’s world-wide success as a solo artist. In 1986 he left Germany for London, where he briefly joined the band The Bojangels, after which he gained a recording deal.
His debut solo album, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby, released in 1987, is his best-known and, in commercial terms, most successful work. The album, which produced such hits as “If You Let Me Stay” “Wishing Well” “Dance Little Sister” and “Sign Your Name” sold over a million copies in the first three days of its release, and its sales currently total over 12 million. The album also earned D’Arby a Grammy Award in March 1988 in the category Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male. In that same year, D’Arby earned three Soul Train Award nominations for Male Album of the Year (Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby), Male Single of the Year (Wishing Well), and Best New Artist.
D’Arby’s follow-up was the somewhat more experimental and serious Neither Fish Nor Flesh: A Soundtrack of Love, Faith, Hope & Destruction (1989). It gathered generally hostile reviews from the critics, and was not commercially as successful as its predecessor. Nevertheless, it sold over 2 millions copies.
