Biography

Starting with gospel music, in 1994 he signed with Underworld / Capitol Records releasing an album entitled Never Let You Go, which reached No. 53 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart.[1][2] The album spawned two charting singles, "When U Cry I Cry" and "Baby, Baby, Baby". He performed on national television shows such as The Tonight Show and BET's Video Soul. He performed internationally traveling to South and Central America, UK, Eastern Europe, South Africa, Asia, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Italy, Denmark, Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico. He also recorded the song "Where Is the Love" for the soundtrack to the film Dead Presidents.[3] Campbell was dropped from the label soon after, but continued singing, performing gospel music.

The Voice (2012)

In 2012, he became a contestant on season two of the American television program The Voice, where he auditioned singing Leon Russell's "A Song for You". All four judges (Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton) hit the "I Want You" button for him, within 25 seconds of the song. He chose to be part of the team of Christina Aguilera.

In the Battle round, he was put against Anthony Evans, another R&B/gospel singer. In a duet, they sang the Alicia Keys song "If I Ain't Got You", in what was described as the best contested match-up for the night, with Campbell carrying the day to move to the live rounds.

Christina Aguilera shocked the nation when she decided to eliminate Campbell during the live quarterfinals. Campbell's final words were "I lived a dream. How I relate to myself while in the process becomes the process, and I am grateful".

gollark: Also "let's spy on everyone because terrorists".
gollark: ```'I [suspect] that we are throwing more and more of our resources, including the cream of our youth, into financial activities remote from the production of goods and services, into activities that generate high private rewards disproportionate to their social productivity. I suspect that the immense power of the computer is being harnessed to this 'paper economy', not to do the same transactions more economically but to balloon the quantity and variety of financial exchanges.'--James Tobin, July 1984```
gollark: What about vertexlords?
