{"title":"Keith Sweat","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Keith Sweat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeith Crier, performing as Keith Sweat, was born in Harlem, New York on July 22, 1961. He worked on Wall Street before launching his music career in the mid-1980s. His debut Make It Last Forever (1987), produced largely by Teddy Riley (a foundational figure in new jack swing), became a commercial breakthrough - the title track and I Want Her became defining hits of the emerging new jack swing era. He has continued releasing material across multiple decades alongside hosting his syndicated radio show The Sweat Hotel (since 2005). He was a founding member of the supergroup LSG (with Gerald Levert and Johnny Gill) in the late 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeith Sweat's sound combines R\u0026amp;B, contemporary R\u0026amp;B, new jack swing, soul, quiet storm, and pop R\u0026amp;B with his distinctive vocal delivery (the begging style, as it was widely characterized) and arrangements drawing on classic 1980s and 1990s urban contemporary production approaches. His foundational influence on new jack swing is widely documented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake It Last Forever (1987, Vintertainment\/Elektra)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Give All My Love to You (1990, Vintertainment\/Elektra)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep It Comin' (1991, Vintertainment\/Elektra)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Up On It (1994, Elektra)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeith Sweat (1996, Elektra)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill in the Game (1998, Elektra)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Me (2008, Atco\/Atlantic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Vintertainment \/ Elektra pressings of the Keith Sweat catalog are widely collected.
