More Classic Albums

Upon its release, critics hailed Kenny Lattimore as an album that hearkened back to the time of Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye when “R&B had more soul” The set was bolstered by the success of singles “Never Too Busy,” “Just What It Takes,” and the now-signature song and perennial wedding ballad “For You.” The album reached a peak of #19 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart It also reached #92 on The Billboard 200 chart on May 3, 1997. The album contained a large portion of midtempo soul songs and romantic ballads. Five of the songs were co-written by Lattimore. “Never Too Busy” cracked the Top 20 of the R&B charts and spurred the album to gold sales. “For You” made an even higher impact reaching #6 on the R&B charts. The album made such a splash for Lattimore that he was nominated that year for the Best Male R&B Artist Grammy the following year.
