Album:The Best Of Keith Sweat: Make You Sweat
Keith Sweat was one of the most popular R & B singers of the 80s and 90s. He started out at the forefront of the New Jack Swing movement of the late 80s and crossed over to the pop charts with slow jams like the 1996 top five hit Nobody. He has also been a force as a writer and producer. Right now he's on the comeback trail. He was born Keith "Sabu" Crier July 22, 1963 in New York City the grandson of Arthur Crier of the doo wop group The Halos. He started out in 1975 as lead singer of the group Jamilah. They were popular regionally in the Tri-State area but never got a record contract. He released a couple of solo singles in 1984. There is some confusion that he was a member of the group GQ but that was his uncle who is also named Keith Crier. So Keith "Sabu" Crier changed his name to Keith Sweat. In 1985, he signed with Vincent Davis and his label Vintertainment Records with distribution from Elektra. Sweat's 1987 solo debut Make It Last Forever sold three million copies and I Want Her reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. This success continued through the late 80s. Elektra bought Sweat's contract when Davis closed his label. Sweat continued to have success in the R & B market and started his own label Keia Records to produce artists like Silk and Kut Klose. Nobody is from Sweat's 1996 CD Keith Sweat, his most successful CD to date. The album reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 200 and was certified 4XPlatinum. The single Twisted reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Nobody reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Athena Cage is a member of Kut Klose. Sweat also had success with LSG along with Gerald Levert and Johnny Gill. Sweat faded at the turn of the century and left Elektra after his 2002 CD Rebirth. He is currently signed to Universal's Kedar label and released the CD Ridin' Solo June 2010. And he hosts the nationally syndicated radio show The Quiet Storm. This Rhino comp has all his hits. Here's the video for Nobody by Keith Sweat featuring Athena Cage.
