Orginally signed in his early days by the late legend\u00a0Prince, he has secured his name in the R&B history books, with a career that has spanned over thirty years. His much loved, chart smash\u00a0‘Criticize’\u00a0is still lighting up dance floors across the world today and became integral to the soundtrack of the teenage years of Generation X.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
