Comparison to his idols Freddie Jackson, Luther Vandross, Barry
White and Will Downing don't bother Wendell Brown whose love affair
with music began at the age of five when he made his foray into the
industry by joining the gospel group the Sensational Wonders. He
spent a good ten years singing for the Lord before his vocal tastes
were whetted by the sounds of rhythm and blues. At first he had to
hide my interest from Mamma. She was into the church: she didn't
play that, he laughs. As Wendell B. reached maturity, both in years
and vocal ability, he began performing with vocal groups such as
Dream, which he formed in high school, touring his hometown and
surrounding areas. It was then that he really learned the importance
of stage presence through the tutelage of local legends Marvin Rice,
lead vocalist for Masters Touch and Visions lead vocalist Carl
Homes, who schooled him in perfecting runs and other vocal
techniques.
The decision to go solo after having spent two decades in groups was
coupled by the desire to follow into the entrepreneurial footsteps
of others in the industry. Under his full name, Wendell Brown,
he released the album "Make It Good For Ya". It took another
seven years for his next outing "Good Times", which created a buzz
in the Southern Soul market. From there his popularity continued to
on albums like 2010's "In Touch With My Southern Soul"
through his 2020 album "Real Talk". He became one of the best
selling artists in the genre as of 2023.
Wendell passed away in August of 2023.
