He had a minor Quincy Jones produced career after Prince and songs such as Strawberry Letter 23 and Can we talk for a minute, but some years ago he was busted in a mens toilet soliciting for homosexual intercourse, which all but killed off his career

Tevin Campbell had some nice songs during his younger years-Always In My Heart is one of my favs and his version of Prince's Shh is nice also It's a shame his career ended up like it did.

Tevin Campbell was introduced to the R&B by Quincy Jones in August 1989. Campbell's debut single was "Tomorrow (A Better You Better Me)" which reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles chart in November, 1989. It was the lead single from Quincy Jones' critically acclaimed ensemble LP Back on the Block which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1990. After working with Jones and writers and producers including Siedah Garrett, Campbell worked with producers Narada Michael Walden, Al B. Sure, Babyface, and others to record additional music.

Campbell's first solo hit was "Round and Round", which charted at #5 on R&B charts in September 1990 and #12 in pop in April 1991 was produced by Prince and was featured in Prince's film Graffiti Bridge. Campbell followed the success of his first two singles by releasing his debut album, T.E.V.I.N., in November 1991 which featured the R&B hit singles and Tevin's only #1 Adult Contemporary hit: "Tell Me What You Want Me To Do" followed by:, "Alone With You", and "Goodbye". His second album, I'm Ready released October 1993, yielded the R&B hits and #2 pop single "Can We Talk" which charted at #2 on the pop charts in December 1993, "I'm Ready", "Always In My Heart" which charted at #2 on the R&B chart and #6 on the pop charts in June 1994 received a lot of air play on the R&B radio and the sensual, "SHHH". He also scored a Top 30 hit with "Don't Say Goodbye Girl" on the R&B charts. In September 1994, Campbell also scored an R&B hit with the single "U Will Know" as part of the R&B supergroup "Black Men United", a group that also included singer Usher.

The year 1996 saw the release of his third album, Back To The World (#11 R&B). The title track was a success (hitting the R&B Top 20), but additional singles failed to make an impact on the chart. His early 1999 self-titled album was found Campbell venturing into the neo-soul venue. Unfortunately, the project was rushed, and as a result charted below the R&B Top 30, with only one single charting, a Top 30 song called "Another Way".

Campbell returned to the studios in 2006, working with producers Scott Storch, The Underdogs, Krucial Keys, Bryan Michael Cox, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, and Ryan Leslie and his longtime associate KeArt. The comeback album is waiting to be published and will be released in 2008.[citation needed]

You're damn skippy!!

I think about him every time I watch Top Chef... Has anyone brought up the use of a "Round and Round" sample in the TV show's opening credits?... Don't tell Prince or the beautiful Padma will be out of a job.
