Greenville, South Carolina — Peabo Bryson, the two-time Grammy-winning R&B and pop vocalist whose smooth, emotive style made him a mainstay of adult contemporary and soul radio, died on June 4, 2026, at the age of 75. Born in Greenville, he launched his professional music career in the 1960s and moved into solo prominence in the late 1970s and 1980s, releasing numerous albums and scoring several Billboard-charting R&B hits. His vocal range and skill at harmonizing helped establish him as a leading figure in romantic balladry and secured him widespread recognition across multiple music formats. Bryson achieved international fame through his duets on major motion picture soundtracks, most notably “Beauty and the Beast” from the 1991 Disney film of the same name and “A Whole New World” from the 1992 film “Aladdin.” These performances earned him significant critical acclaim, two Grammy Awards and cemented his influence on 1990s animated cinema, ensuring his work reached a global audience. Colleagues and fans in the music industry have begun paying tribute to his decades-long career and cultural impact, while his family has not yet disclosed details of funeral arrangements.
