Kenny Lattimore .Biography
Critics uniformly lauded this album as a great leap from his debut on the scene 2 years prior to this largely mature effort. [cite web|url=http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/16a01.html|title=Kenny Lattimore - From The Soul Of Man (Review)|author=Sylvia White|publisher=InMusicWeTrust.com] The album opens with the first single "Days Like This," an introspective midtempo R&B track with avant garde electronic inflections. "Days," along with 7 other tracks on the album were co-written by Lattimore.
A highlight is Lattimore's faithful and yet individual cover of
Donny Hathaway 's "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," first heard on Hathaway's landmark "Extension of a Man" album. Lattimore also reimaginesThe Beatles ' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps " as a soulful ballad that closes with a hypnotically layered arrangement of background vocals. "Who knew that 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' could be so sexy?" remarks Michael Gallucci. [amg|10:gbfwxq8jldfe~T1|From The Soul Of Man (Review)]Adding synergy to the album was the bonus inclusion of the gently soaring ballad "Love Will Find A Way," a duet with
Heather Headley from the Disney movie "".Chart performance
