Brian McKnight

Buffalo's quiet-storm crooner. 'Anytime' (1997), 'Back at One' (1999), 'U Turn,' 'From There to Here' — that catalog is the slow-jam answer to a math problem. Sixteen Grammy nominations (zero wins, which is a chart-shaped grievance worth carrying). His voice has always been one of the most technically precise in modern R&B, and the deep cuts are absolutely loaded with wedding-first-dance fodder. Underrated as a guitarist, undefeated as a vocalist.
