Problem for TTD was
he couldn't evole and his influences wore his sleeve down.
the cat is a Great Singer
Very Good Songwriter
and a good Live Performer.
however he came out at a time when the stakes was high and pulling that Tina Turner I'm Bloody British backfired on him and also he just didn't have no hits to follow up with.
the cat had what I call good songs to drive by the Ocean to, however when his first album dropped this cat had songs to Live by the Ocean in full view big difference.
had all his money cuts off one jump off and the Problem is when R&B Music went to New jack Swing and more harder edge suddenly this cat
didn't have anything to sustain and come back to.
cats like Maxwell, Lenny Kravitz and D'angelo owe this cat a huge debt musically especially on the debut hype.
sad to say his solo career in certain circles ain't even remembered nearly as much as Al B Sure's and that is a travesty IMO
i use to dig some ttd.
