Peabo Bryson, the Grammy-winning R&B singer known for classic Disney duet songs, has died at age 75, according to statements from his family and representatives. Multiple outlets report that he suffered a stroke over the weekend and died days later, though one report notes that no additional cause of death was cited beyond the stroke. Bryson’s voice became widely known through his 1990s Disney collaborations. He recorded “Beauty and the Beast” with Céline Dion, a performance that earned both artists a Grammy. He also teamed with Regina Belle for “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin,” which reached number one in the United States and earned Bryson a second Grammy. Beyond the Disney hits, Bryson had a long recording career, with outlets describing 20-plus studio albums and earlier charting songs such as “If Ever You’re In My Arms Again” and “Tonight, I Celebrate My Love” (with Roberta Flack). In tributes after his death, Céline Dion publicly expressed heartbreak and described Bryson as generous and kind during their time recording “Beauty and the Beast.”
