I think it was watching An American Tail as a kid and the song 'Somewhere Out There' that first introduced me to the incredible voice of singer James Ingram. Growing up, I used to record on VHS, every time James was singing on TV or Awards show. Through the 90's James often popped up singing Oscar nominated songs on the Academy Awards.
That old VHS tape is sadly long gone, but yesterday I enjoyed looking, and listening back, via Youtube. Although you can see the original version of the song on Youtube with Linda Ronstadt, the video above with Natalie Cole, although in poor quality, was one of the performances I remember watching over and over. R.I.P James.
