    He had several songs that made it top 100. I went to high school with him. He didn't sing then. He was very shy. He's very talented. He continues to release C.D.s.

    He was 3rd place on the 5th season of American Idol (he was robbed IMO) and has released four albums since then (+ one Xmas album). I like his 3rd album the most, but the first one is also good. Too bad he doesn't get supoport from media and radio. An interesting fact is that he's half deaf and also a Type 1 diabetic (he's a spokesman for the JDRF and ahas also been involved in many social causes and organizations like Malaria No more). Check him out. Some songs I like are:
    - 1st album (Elliott Yamin): "Movin' On", "Train Wreck" and "I'm the Man" (also the bonus tracks "Believe", "I'm in Love With You Forever" and cover versions of "Sharing the Night Together" and "A Whiter Shade of Pale").
    - 2nd album (Fight For Love): "Know Better", "You", "You Say", "How Do I Know", "This Step Alone", "Cold Heart" and "Someday" (dedicated to his mother who passed away).
    - 3rd album (Let's Get to What's real): "Virginia", "Stay Away", "Self Control" and mainly most of it.
    - 4th album (As Time Goes By): this is the one I like the least, but there's a good cover of "Let It Go" and a couple of average-good tracks.
    Also the Xmas album (My Kind of Holiday - there's a rpevious version called My kind of Season, which is the same with less tracks) is pretty good as well.

    I have been following Elliott since his time on American Idol in 2006. I have every album he has put out even some of his Japan releases. His "My Kind of Holiday" album is one of my favorite Christmas albums. Oh btw he's Jewish- American. Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder are a few of his musical influences. Please check out his albums. He's currently singing with a funk band called Philthy. Philthy's "Party Crashers" album has Elliott's soulful voice all over it along with the awesome band. Another Awesome project. You have not experienced Elliott until you have seen him live. Which I have about 4 times. Oh one of my favorite videos is with him and Bobby Caldwell singing Bobby's "What You Want Do For Love". Please check it out. I could go on and on but I'll stop here ☺.

    I had no idea he was from American Idol. (Google says he placed 3rd on the 5th season.) I remember hearing this song (one hit wonder, imo) on the radio when it came out. I honestly thought he wasn't white, lol. No means of offending, btw. But yeah, he's Jewish-American, I believe...but with a sound that's straight 'Quiet Storm on V103' (Atlanta's radio spot for great R&B)

    Elliott Yamin an all time fave for me. I don’t feel he was promoted at all after the show. He continues to do humanitarian work but as a vocalist for me he had potential to go so much further. He wasn’t the showiest guy he just sang from the heart & to me it was everything I want to hear & feel.
    If u listen to moody mood for love it was also performed on the talent show. I just felt let down by what I thought should and could be a huge career. Idk why I don’t see him on tv when others got gigs & notarity. I love him for putting all that 2nd to his boots on the ground humanitarian behind the scenes efforts. May his voice find a way to so many hearts over a long fulfilling life.

    last name pronounced Yah-meen. He's released 4 albums + 1 holiday album, plus he also is lead singer/co-songwriter of a funk group, Philthy, with a former member of Prince's New Power Generation. I wasn't a fan of his fourth album, but really like the 3rd and some gems on the 1st and 2nd. Some songs to check out:

      I'm listing a bunch and I know you get lots of requests so whatever you can do will be very much appreciated. ENJOY THE MUSIC!!
      First - these are two of the best R&B songs ever made
      The Whispers - Rock Steady ua-cam.com/video/rPJz3syNbtE/v-deo.html
      Dan Hartman - I Can Dream About You ua-cam.com/video/UIfR2p8m0G8/v-deo.html
      The guys in this video are lip syncing for the movie (doing a great job) - Dan Hartman is white
      Last - Sha Na Na was popular in the 1970s and mainly did covers of 50s music, doo wop, etc and dressed for the time period. They started as an acapella group in college. (Most of them do have college degrees) They were at Woodstock going on right before Jimmy Hendrix at his insistence. They were in the movie Grease as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers. They had a TV show; did some silly skits but many amazing performances. These guys could SING. The best was Johnny Contardo who did a majority of the lead vocals. His voice was beautiful and clear and strong and powerful and he could hit falsetto notes like nobody else. He's probably one of the most underrated singers of the day. Here are clips of what I feel are his best performances that showcase his amazing vocals. Some of the videos are not the highest quality; I think they are copies of copies of copies. Something like that.
      Crying - Roy Orbison himself loved Johnny's version of this song - ua-cam.com/video/dYAdo40MEEI/v-deo.html
      Since I Fell For You - ua-cam.com/video/Sa0tuo-N9M4/v-deo.html
      Unchained Melody - the group did a fun fast version which was originally done by Vito and the Salutations - watching this video always makes me happy - and their harmonies are outstanding - ua-cam.com/video/97r51CdJPHk/v-deo.html
